Treatment of Kitechen Waste Water by Phytoremediation Method Using Canna Indica Plant

The treatment of wastewater is a critical environmental issue, and Phytoremediation is a promising method for addressing this challenge. This project looks at how plants might help clean dirty water. It talks about how this idea works and where it can be used. The study looks at how well plants can clean different kinds of used water, like water from homes, farms, and factories. It also looks at what things can make this process better or worse like the kind of plants used, what’s in the water, and how much nutrition is there for the plants. The paper also talks about the good sides and the not-so-good sides of using plants this way. In the end, it says using plants to clean water could be a smart, low-cost, and nature-friendly way, and that more work should be done to make it even better in the future. Overall, this method could help both the environment and the economy.

Mechanical Performance of Concrete with EOF Steel Slag as Partial Replacement for Coarse Aggregates

All Steel manufacturing industry generates by-products today, and one such by-product is Energy Optimized Furnace slag, i.e, EOF, steel slag. But EOF steel slag is less used in cement manufacturing. This study examines the feasibility of using EOF steel slag to replace natural aggregates in concrete, with the intention of minimizing waste disposal and conserving natural resources. Standardized tests were conducted to evaluate the physical, chemical, and mechanical characteristics of EOF steel slag. The results thus obtained were compared with those of natural aggregates. Concrete mix proportions were formulated in this research to obtain M30 grade concrete. The natural coarse aggregate in the designed mix was replaced with EOF steel slag aggregate at different percentages, from 0% to 100% in steps of 10%. Experimental studies were carried out to analyze the properties of fresh and hardened concrete, such as workability, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and flexural strength, for various replacement percentages of EOF steel slag aggregate. The best replacement ratio was found considering the outcomes of fresh and hardened concrete characteristics. Moreover, the correlation between flexural strength, splitting tensile strength, and compressive strength was investigated. The mechanical characteristics of EOF steel slag aggregates are similar to those of natural coarse aggregates. Nevertheless, the greater water absorption and surface roughness of EOF slag affect the workability of concrete. The mechanical characteristics of concrete made using a full replacement of natural aggregate with EOF steel slag are quite similar to those of normal concrete. From this study, one learns that concrete made from 100% replacement of EOF Steel slag as coarse aggregate has better strength characteristics. By utilizing EOF steel slag as a substitute for natural coarse aggregate in concrete, the issue of unsafe, environment-degrading practice of dumping steel slag can be avoided. In addition, an industrial byproduct like steel slag is utilized in an eco-friendly way. Use of EOF steel slag in concrete is an eco-friendly, useful, and cost-saving step. Use of EOF steel slag in concrete is an eco-friendly, useful, and cost-saving step.

Utilization of by Product & Using Advanced Machine for Solid and Liquid Waste Management- Hotels

The concern on large quantity of the waste being produced both in the form of food and liquid waste, the concept of waste management becomes one of the keys focuses of sustainable development principles which is based on policies, and practices that are resource conserving, follow standards that can be met in the long term, and respect values of equity in human access to resources. It is estimated that people in rural India are generating 0.3 to 0.4 million metric tons of organic/recyclable food waste per day, and that 88% of the total disease burden is due to a lack of clean water, sanitation, and improper food waste management. In the absence of proper disposal of food and liquid waste, they are leading to vector-borne diseases such as diarrhoea, Malaria, Polio, Dengue, Cholera, Typhoid, and other waterborne infections such as schistosomiasis. Close to 88% of the total disease load is due to lack of clean water and sanitation, and the improper food and liquid waste management-which intensify their occurrence. Hotel garbage management is poor. Poor collection and transportation of municipal food waste are caused by a lack of acceptable infrastructure, underestimated trash creation rates, inadequate management and technical capabilities, and inefficient collection and route design. This research aims to classify the types of trash generated in hotels and restaurants, as well as their sources, harmful impacts on the environment and human health, and existing waste treatment strategies.

Case Study on Coconut Shell (Activated Carbon) and Neem Leaf by Using Filtration Method

This study develops a low-cost water filtration system using coconut shells and neem leaves to improve water quality in rural areas. The filtration process follows the model, confirming the neem leaf's efficiency as an economical and effective solution for wastewater treatment. The results indicate that coconut shell-based filtration significantly improves water quality, making it suitable for non-potable applications like irrigation, flushing, and groundwater recharge. At the same time, Neem leaf showed the best pollutant removal results. The findings highlight the effectiveness of natural materials in providing affordable, eco-friendly water treatment solutions, especially for rural areas, and highlight the potential of coconut shell as an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical coagulants as a practical solution for clean water. Finally, an experimental setup is established to test the filter's efficiency by measuring water quality parameters and flow rate before and after treatment as per the required test. Results indicate that the filtration process not only significantly upgraded water quality and extremely reduced contaminants, but also consistently guaranteed adherence to rigorously established water quality standards.

Grey Water Management

This paper proposes a sustainable greywater management system designed to reduce freshwater consumption and mitigate wastewater generation through the reuse of water from domestic sources such as sinks, showers, and laundry. The study presents a low-cost and efficient greywater treatment method combining physical filtration and biological processes to produce water suitable for non-potable uses, including landscape irrigation and toilet flushing. The system was evaluated for performance based on key water quality parameters, and the treated greywater was found to meet applicable environmental and health standards. Through field implementation and analysis, the project demonstrates the potential for substantial water savings, reduced strain on conventional water supply systems, and improved environmental outcomes. The proposed framework is scalable and adaptable for residential and institutional applications, offering a practical solution for water conservation in both urban and rural settings. This work contributes to the development of integrated water resource management strategies in the context of increasing global water stress.
