Title : Biodegradable polymeric hydrogels and thin films decorated with charcoal and tri-metallic nano-composites and their use in removal of colour and treatment of industrial waste water in domestic and irrigation purposes
Abstract:
Textile waste water containing toxic and carcinogenic dyes and effluents as by product in higher concentration which affects the marine life and creating water pollution, soil pollution. It is challenging to decolorize water and degrade dye simultaneously and remove chemicals from water. On applying several techniques color of water remains as such. After thorough literature and research, we have prepared and charterized tri-metallic nano-composites and combined with biodegradable polymers (ie.,sodium alginate, cellulose derivatives and chitosan,) and made their beads,sheets and membrane for effective removal of color. Standardization of water samples were also performed by standards reported methods and further several testing is desired to put on root level.
In this art of work, we have created simulated water in chemistry lab containing higher level of impurity dyes and effluents of textile industries. Results reveals chemical treatment takes 240-420 seconds for dye degradation which remove color. The biological process takes 25-45 days using microbes*..In this art of work, we want to combine microbial and chemical treatment process and analyse the water quality standards. The treated water will be capable to reuse in domestic and irrigation purposes. Further investigations are under process.
