Keywords: Perovskite, Organic-inorganic halide perovskites, Light harvester, Optoelectronic devices
Abstract: In the past decades, the organic-inorganic halide perovskites (OHIP) based materials are the fast developing area in the field of material science. It has tremendous growth in the new generation of optoelectronic devices, such as solar cells, light emitting diode and photodetectors. It is inexpensive, easy to process and highly crystalline in nature. It also has the disadvantages that the compounds contain toxic lead ions in their inorganic part. To overcome the toxicity of lead containing material, we have synthesized strontium based organic-inorganic halide perovskites as the alternative material. The newly synthesized MASrCl3 and MASr(1-x) Sn(x)Cl3 has been characterized by x-ray diffraction, UV-Visible spectroscopy and photoluminescence for the analysis of crystalline, absorption and emission properties. This shows good absorption and emission properties for solar cells, LEDs, photodetector applications.

Keywords: Expansive soil, Flyash, Potassium chloride, Coir, Shear strength, Compaction, Compressive strength, California bearing ratio (CBR)
Abstract: Expansive soils exhibit low shear strength, consolidation settlement, swelling and shrinkage, etc., when in contact with water. In order to improve the engineering properties, the common method used is stabilization. In this project, experimentation is carried out to investigate the influence of additives, such as flyash, potassium chloride and coir on compressive strength, California bearing ratio and shear strength of the clay soil. The three additives are added and the tests are carried out by keeping flyash and potassium chloride proportions as constant (30% and 1%) and varying the proportion of coir (0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3% and 0.4%). Control sample with separate addition of flyash (30%), potassium chloride (1%) and a combination of potassium chloride and flyash (30% and 1%) are analyzed for index properties. In addition, coir is added and the engineering properties are also analyzed. The maximum dry density of flyash and potassium chloride added soil goes on increasing with addition of coir up to 0.3% by weight and then it gets decreased. But the optimum moisture content goes on decreasing by increasing the percentage of coir. The results shows improvement in california bearing ratio (CBR) value, compressive strength and shear strength of composite containing flyash, potassium chloride and coir (30% : 1% : 0.3%). Hence the addition of flyash, potassium chloride and coir can be effectively used for soil stabilization.

Keywords: Organic solar cell, P3HT: PC61BM, UV region, GO/PEDOT:PSS as hole transport layer (HTL)
Abstract: The world’s current major electricity supply is produced from non-renewable energy sources and it won’t be available once it is fully used as it is depleting at a faster rate. Among the other renewable sources, solar energy is the most promising and inexhaustible source. Organic photovoltaic cells possess low manufacturing cost, flexibility, lightweight, portable and these are the major reasons for pushing the focus on organic solar cells. This report aims to discuss the potential use of an organic solar cell and tweaks made to increase its efficiency. A novel device architecture is developed and a slight modification in the active layer P3HT: PC61BM [poly(3-hexylthiophene):[6,6]-phenyl-c61-butyric acid methyl ester] weight ratio of (1:1.2) which will promote a better electron extraction and increase absorption in UV region. The GO/PEDOT: PSS is used as and hole transport layer (HTL) in the organic solar cell. Mostly organic solar cells can be easily degraded over a period of time. In this work, organic photovoltaic (OPV) cell was fabricated and checked for its stability. While reporting about its performance, the organic photovoltaic cells will play a vital role in the near future if the drawbacks are rectified.

Keywords: Copolymer nanocomposite, Adsorption, Kinetics, Isotherm, Thermodynamics
Abstract: Oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (o-MWCNT) incorporated pyrrole (PPy) and 4, 4’-diaminodiphenyl sulphone (DDS) polymer nanocomposite (PPy-co-DDS/o-MWCNT) was prepared through in situ chemical oxidative polymerization. The molecular structure of PPy-co-DDS/o-MWCNT nanocomposite was characterized by attenuated total reflectance infrared spectroscopy (ATR), diffuse reflective ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (DRS UV-vis), Raman spectroscopy. The crystallographic profiles of nanocomposite were evaluated by x-ray diffraction analysis and thermal stability of adsorbent was examined by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The morphology of polymer nanocomposite adsorbent was studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive x-ray analysis (EDX) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) with selective area electron diffraction pattern (SAED). The adsorption behaviour of PPyco-DDS/o-MWCNT nanocomposite showed high adsorption capacity (470 mg/g, 462 mg/g, 452 mg/g) towards corresponding heavy metal ions, such as Pb(II), Ni(II) and Cd(II) in aqueous solution. The PPy-co-DDS/o-MWCNT nanocomposite shows fast and spontaneous process for the removal of heavy metal ions adsorption and the kinetics followed a pseudo second order rate equation (R2»0.99). This result is perhaps due to the part of electrostatic attraction served as an oxidized MWCNT can be incorporated to the PPy-co-DDS structure to improve the removal of heavy metal ions of fabricated PPy-co-DDS/o-MWCNT copolymer nanocomposite.

Subject: Wetland Vegetation in Sludge Treatment Wetland : A Review
Keywords: Sludge treatment wetland, wetland vegetation, Phragmites australis
Abstract: The presence of wetland vegetation in sludge treatment wetland (STW) is one of the most important aspects of wetlands and their presence distinguishes constructed treatment wetlands from sludge drying bed. The wetland vegetation is one of the design components as it undergoes and support the pollutant removal mechanism and depending upon the characteristics of sludge applied in the sludge treatment wetland. The wetland vegetation used in sludge treatment wetland should be tolerant of soils, climatic conditions and seasonal cycles of inundation and drought. In this review, we consider wetland vegetation that have been used in such studies to play an important role in sludge treatment wetland that take part in enhancing sludge dewatering and stabilization. The decomposition of organic matter present in sludge and wastewater through absorption by plant and microbial conversion forms soil root-contaminant plant microbe system. The essential nutrients in sludge are converted into a useful end product through biological activity and make it safer for reuse and maintain soil fertility over long periods of time. Phragmites australis (common reed) species of the genera Typha (latifolia, angustifolia, domingensis, orientalis and glauca) and Scirpus (for example, lacustris, validus, californicus and acutus) spp. are used.

Subject: Removal of Heavy Metals Using Nano Particles – A Review
Keywords: None
Abstract: Presence of heavy metals (Cr6+, Zn2+, Pb2+, Mg2+) in water and wastewater is a very big issue for nature and also it contaminates the groundwater level. It is very toxic for living organisms and it causes major environmental problems. It is non-biodegradable and accumulates in the environment for a very long time. Removal of these heavy metal concentrations in the water and wastewater is the most complicated process. Many methods (chemical precipitation, electrodialysis, adsorption, membrane filtration and phytoremediation) are used to reduce the heavy metal concentration from the industrial wastewater. Among these methods, adsorption is one of the cost-effective methods being widely used to reduce the concentration level of the heavy metals from the contaminated water using the various adsorbents. But due to the particle size and variable properties of different adsorbents, the removal efficiency of these heavy metals is getting considerably reduced. This review article presents the information about the application of different kinds of nano-particles for the removal of heavy metals from industrial effluent.

Abstract: This paper revealed that the flood risk mapping and zoning of Dulapally region, Medchal-Malkajgiri district, Telangana. Flood risk mapping is more important for understanding the damage of man-made constructions, QGIS software provides clear information about flood zoning in the study area. In dulapally region human activity plays a major role for damaging of 110 houses due to improper town planning and dumping of garbage in water flow channel. For understanding flood analysis, study area has divided 4 major zones such as low risk, moderate risk, high risk zones, very high-risk zones. The rainfall (758 mm) in very high risk and high-risk zones are totally occupied with water o these areas are not preferred for construction. But Pukkat Nagar has constructed in high-risk zones for that the total area destroyed due to heavy rains. If rainfall occurs more than 800 mm, moderate risk zones get covered with water, so it is not preferred for construction. We concluded that low risk zone area is more consider that land use and land cover plant of at least last ten years data otherwise the Environemtal impact is heavy.

Subject: To study the strength of concrete due to partial replacemtn of river San by waste foundry Sand
Keywords: Foundry waste, Economy, eco-friendly, cost.
Abstract: This project presents the study of a partial replacement of waste foundry sand. Foundries use amounts of fine sand as a part of the casting process. Foundries recycle and reuse the sand many times in casting process. When the fine sand can no longer be reused in the foundry, it is removed from the foundry process and is termed as "foundry waste sand". Like many waste products, foundry sand has beneficial applications to other industries. Nowadays good quality natural river sand is not readily available; it is to be transported from along distance. These resources are also exhausting very rapidly. So, there is an urge to find some alternative to natural river sand. Natural river sand takes millions of years for its formation and is non-renewable. As a substitute for natural sand, artificial (manufactured) sand is used as a complete replacement. Considering the gap in research, this paper presents the effect of the use of foundry sand as fine aggregate in concrete as substitute to artificial sand. The experimental work is mainly concerned with the study of different properties, like compressive strength, split tensile strength as well as flexural strength of concrete by partial replacement of artificial sand by foundry sand as a fine aggregate.

Subject: Sources and cancer risk of heavy metals in total suspened articulate in some square areas of greater Cairo, Egypt.
Keywords: Total syuspended paticulate(TSP), Heavy metals, Sources, Cancer Risk, Squares, Greater Cairo
Abstract: Greater Cairo, one of the highest polluted cities in the world, suffers from high levels of total suspended particulate (TSP). Their heavy metals content might threaten the population health. Data dealing with sources of heavy metals pollution in total suspended particulate in Greater Cairo and its anticipated health risk are scarce. Therefore, the present study aimed to identify the sources and cancer risk of heavy metals in total suspended particulate in some square areas of Greater Cairo, Egypt during winter 2016.Three sites representing some main Squares were selected for the total suspended particulate sampling in Greater Cairo (Ramsis Square, El Giza Square and Sphinx Square). Total suspended particulate sample was collected through glass fiber filters. Concentrations of heavy metals (Fe, Mn, Zn, Al, Pb, Cd, V, Co, Ni, Cr, Cu) in total suspended particulate were determined using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry ICP-OES-5100.The highest total suspended particulate Concentrations were found at Ei Giza square (average concentration 690.94 +34.851 µg/m3SD), whereas the lowest total suspended particulate concentrations were found at Sphinx Square (average concentration 345.54 +42.273 µg/m3 SD).The dominant heavy metals in total suspended particulate were Ai and Fe. The total concentration of the measured metals were 15161.25 ng/m3 at E1 Giza square, 11802.6 ng/m3 at Ramsis Square, and6147.14 ng/m3 at Sphinx Square. Al and Fe were of crustal origin, while Cd, Pb, Ni, Zn, Cu, Cr an Co represented the non-crustal fraction. Highly enriched metals (Zn, Pb, Ni, Cu and Cd) were mainly originating from anthropogenic sources. Inhabitants of EI Giza and Ramsis Square areas were at a higher cancer risk due to exposure to heavy metals.

Subject: Assessment of effects of sand mining on physico chemical parameters of Sone water at koelwar
Keywords: None
Abstract: In the present study, an attempt has been made to assess the impact of sand mining on physico-chemical parameter of river Sone water at near Bihta, Bihar.12 samples were collected in three seasons, summer , monsoon and winter at three sites, 1st reference site upstream, where sand mining doesn't take place, 2nd reference site-sand mining site, where intensive sand mining takes place, and 3rd reference site-downstream of sand mining site, all the samples were collected in the morning between 8 a.m to 11 a.m., carried to the lab for chemical analysis as prescribed in APHA. Different parameters were selected a pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), turbidity, total hardness , Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl-, alkalinity, biological oxygen demand 9BOD), dissolved oxygen (DO), phosphate, fluoride and silica. The result shows seasonal variation in the concentration of different components of selected parameters. Total dissolved solids, turbidity and silica found higher than prescribed limits as set by BIS, WHO. The concentration of dissolved oxygen was also found higher at some sampling stations. All other parameters were within prescribed limit. Due to hike in turbidity and dissolved solids, water became unfit for domestic use because it also contains pathogenic materials. Increased silica concentration beyond permissible limit augments fluvial transport into the Ganes where it settles down in the course of time.
