Subject: Seasonal profile of Heavy metals in the water samples of Bhopal Industrial area
Keywords: Heavy metals, industrial, concentration, contaminants
Abstract: Water is a crucial asset, essential for the survival of all biological systems. The quality of water is degraded throughout the glob due to over exploitation, industrialization, urbanization and pollution. The surface and groundwater-are contaminated with a number of pollutants, like heavy metals, pesticides and biological contaminants. The use of contaminated water for irrigation, domestic and household purposes would lead to various diseases and infection in humans and other organisms. The present investigation was undertaken to analyze the existence of various metals in the water samples of two industrial areas of Bhopal region, namely Govindpura and Mandideep. All the samples were analyzed for the presence of lead (Pb), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), zinc (Zn), arsenic 9As), mercury (Hg) and fluoride (F). The result shows existence of Pb, Cu and Zn in all the water samples while Ni, As, Hg and F was not detected in any sample. The seasonal variations in the concentrations of heavy metals were also found.

Subject: An experimnetal study of anerobic digestion of flower waste with simultaneous improvement in biogas production
Keywords: Anerobic digestion, flower waste, chemical pretreatment, Methane enrichment, hydrogen sulphide removal
Abstract: Flower waste from famous Indian temples situated along the banks of rivers s traditionally disposed of in the rivers or landfill, causing Environemtal pollution. Anerobic digestion of flower waste is an energy proficient solution this problem in the Indian scenario. The present experimental study deals with the generation of biogas using flower waste feedstock, improvement in biogas generating at reduced pretreatment cost and improvement of biogas quality by using chemical absorption technique. Alkaline chemical pretreatment using sodium carbonate is effective in improving the biogas generation by 106% with simultaneous reduction in the cost of pretreatment up to 96%, as compared to sodium hydroxide pretreatment. The contaminants, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide in biogas restrict its widespread applications. In the present study, the methane content of biogas is enriched up to 96.91% using chemical absorption technique in packed column reactors. Another experimental run gives hydrogen sulphide removal efficiency of92.41 % from biogas, to minimize the corrosion and health hazards of hydrogen sulfide. Large scale application of these techniques can propagate floral waste as a sustainable energy source for Indian temples and a reduction in river pollution.

Subject: Comparison of performance and emission characterisitcs of DIdieel engine by using jwain and Cinnamon biodiesel blend with diesel
Keywords: Alternate fuel, biodiesel, brake thermal efficiency, specific fuel consumption, jwain biodiesel, Cinnamon biodiesel
Abstract: In India, current oil consumption rate is 4.2 million barrels/day. India currently is the 3rd largest soil consumer after the United States and China followed by Japan. In India, oil demand increases every year due to rapid development in industrial and transportation sectors. We import 70% of our oil demands which is economically disadvantageous for a fast-growing country, like India. So, to come over this problem, biodiesel can be a better solution. This study is mainly focused on comparing the performance and emission properties of cinnamon biodiesel fuel with ajwain biodiesel. Both biodiesels were blended in 10%, 20 % and 30% in volume with pure diesel fuel land 30 ppm of cerium oxide is added and tested in a four-stroke, single cylinder diesel engine, DI, under different engine brake powers (0.09, 0.9, 1.73, 2.62, 3.39 in kW) and 1500 rpm. Final results show that cinnamon biodiesel fuel (10 % of cinnamon biodiesel and 90 % pure diesel) gives better performance than all other combinations as well as the ajwain biodiesel.

Abstract: Hexavalent chromium pollution is a global threat has accelerated dramatically due to rapid industrialization and urbanization. Toxic chromium affects both microbial diversity as well as reduce the growth of the plants. Chromium reducing the plant growth promoting PGPR species significantly improved growth of marigold plant grown in the presence of different concentrations of chromium in shoots compared to plants grown in the absence of bio-inoculant. Results showed that inoculation improved plant growth parameters significantly compared to un-inoculated plants. In inoculated pots Cr (VI) contents were decreased in soil up to 62 % while plant analysis for Cr VI) revealed that inoculation decreased uptake and translocation of Cr (VI) from soil to the aerial parts of plant. Concentration of Cr (VI) was up to 36 % less in roots and 60 % less in shoots as compared to uninoculated plants grown in contaminated pots.

Abstract: The potential of masoor crop seed husk powder forth removal of congo red (CR) dye from aqueous solution was investigated. The adsorption experiments were carried out in batch techniques. The various parameters, like contact time, adsorbent dose, initial CR dye concentration and temperature were investigated. The kinetic data were analyzed using pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order models. It was found that pseudo-first order kinetic mode was the most appropriate model than pseudo-second order, describing the adsorption kinetics. Adsorption equilibrium was attained within 24 hr. The equilibrium data were best fitted by the Langmuir isotherm model than Freundlich model. Thermodynamic properties, like free energy (ΔG), enthalpy (ΔH) and entropy (ΔS) indicated spontaneous and exothermic nature of adsorption for masoor crop seed husk powder adsorbent. The study revealed that masoor crop seed husk powder can be used as efficient adsorbents for the removal of CR dye solution.

Subject: Energy and cost estimation ofbiodiesel production from neem feedstock -A parametric study
Keywords: Neem biodiesel, cost analysis and energy analysis of biodiesel production from neem feedstock
Abstract: The current energy scene of fossil fuels tends to viable alternative fuel sources. Among many resources of fuel, biodiesel is one of the promising fuels for sustainability. Vegetable oil cannot be used directly in the diesel engine due to its high viscosity, high density, high flash point and low calorific value. Amongst several approaches of bio-diesel production, transesterification process with alkali catalyst provides better conversion of triglycerides to their corresponding methyl ester as biodiesel. At the same time, for sustainability, it is highly essential to analyze the life cycle of biodiesel production in terms of energy and cost issues. This study will help to confer the future prospects and create path of development of biodiesel programme in India. This paper presents the life cycle assessment in terms of energy utilization and related cost to find out biodiesel cost using neem as a feedstock. The neem (Azadirachta indica) tree in India, a widely cultivated crop, fruits bear in tree from 5-6 years of age and continue for about 100 years. In the study of soil-to-oil of neem, it comprises different aspects of cultivation, oil extraction and finally biodiesel production. The energy and cost were estimated in order to cultivation of neem in the area of 1 ha, 400 numbers of plants at the space of 5 m x 5m for a single seasoned fruited till 30 years. It was observed that net energy gain and ratio are 9.54 MJ/ha/year and 13.05, respectively. The cost of biodiesel after selling off byproduct in India at the end of 30th year was estimated and found around 50, 51.5 and 49.3 rupees corresponding to the assumption of biodiesel yield from raw neem soil of 80% , 90 % and 94%, respectively. This concludes that biodiesel from neem oil offers significant benefit in terms of energy and cost as well.

Abstract: The carbon footprint on earth due to the burning of fossil fuels for generating electricity, running trains, cars and other vehicles throughout the world is increasing day by day. It has reached the stage where if not managed effectively, it would become, like a black hole and suck the life of human beings on this earth hardly in next 50 years. Therefore, the whole world is looking for renewable sources, preferably solar energy to generate power, which is clean with no fuel cost and available in abundance in most of the countries across the globe including India. India has set a target of installation of 100 GW (including 40 GW of solar rooftop systems) of solar power plants by 2022.Residential roofs have huge installation potential and, therefore it is one of the major solar residential rooftop systems (SRRSs) business models existing in the market. Both the models are prevalent, and the customers have the choice to go for any of the models for getting SRRS installed on their residential roofs. In order to enable various stakeholders involved in SRRSs, like roof owners, third party, developer, engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firm to take an informed decision about the selection of a suitable model for particular installations, there is a need to understand the strengths and weaknesses of both the models. At present, SWOT analysis of CAPEX and RESCO models is not readily available and there is visible gap existing in its literature. Therefore, this study has been undertaken for conducting a SWOT analysis of both the business models 9CAPEX and RESCO) to help stakeholders identify and adopt a suitable model for respective installations.

Abstract: In many industries, the interactions process is taken only in single loop controls where the multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) systems are difficult to control in the water treatment process. Thus, the proportional integral derivative (PID) controller is used to control the liquid level by adjusting the controller parameters and the variables of flow and level of four tanks. The quadruple tank system is a four interconnected water tank system used to analyze the linear and non-linear effect of interaction process taken in chemical industries and water treatment plant. The design of stable PID controller is done with stability region analysis method for the minimum and nonminimum phase of the tank level provides better disturbance rejection and good setpoint tracking and simulation is done.

Subject: Groundwater characterization and treatment using UV/H2O2 process
Keywords: UV/H2O2 process, Annular reactor, groundwater treatment, advanced oxidation processes, physico-chemical parameters
Abstract: The present study has a connection with the rea-life problem of colour and contamination in the groundwater of the Dasuya town in the state of Punjab. An assessment of the groundwater contamination has been carried out in the laboratory. The physico-chemical parameters have been determined. Elemental analysis has been performed using microwave plasma atomic emissions spectrometer. The organic compounds present in the groundwater were identified by gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy analysis. Many treatment technologies have been tested for treatment of the organic contamination present in the groundwater .It was observed that the UV/H2O2 process showed the potential to treat contaminants of the groundwater. An annular reactor has been used to treat the groundwater by UV/H2O2 process. A parametric study has been performed to optimize the dose of H2O2 and pH for treatment of the groundwater.

Subject: Trend analysis o frainfall over bihar region
Keywords: Rainfall, cramer test, standardized anomaly index, wavelet transform, active and break days
Abstract: The present study aims to examine the long-term changes and short-term fluctuations in annual and seasonal rainfall over the Bihar region of India for the period of 1954-2013.The analysis was carried out to identify trends in the precipitation pattern. I t is clear from these results that rainfall yield is increasing in pre-monsoon (MAM) season and monsoon season (JJAS) and the anomaly is (+3.9) mm is decades V, VI, (+4.8) mm in VI decade. In J.F and OND season, decreasing rainfall trend after IV decade is observed. Periodicity observed in wavelet analysis, these relationships are noticed in rainfall by using cross wavelet analysis. Breaks and active periods are identified during the southwest monsoon season (June-September) and active days identified in recent extreme rainfall year in the period July-August month, maximum active and break days in the year 2007 and 2010.Outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) positive anomaly increases when rainfall decreases (break days) in 2010 and when OLR negative anomaly increases with increased rainfall (active days) in 2007.It is also evident that the Indian summer monsoon extremity is strongly associated with equatorial Indian ocean oscillation (EQUINOO), which is based on surface zonal wind over the central equatorial Indian Ocean.
