Abstract: Earlier, since Independence, the Indian power sector was dominated by state-and centrally owned vertically integrated utilities. When the Indian economy opened up in the early 1990s, large-scale liberalisation and industrialization led to a rapid increase in the demand for power. To meet this demand, the quantum of investment needed grew exponentially and cold no longer be supported by the government. Hence, power generation was de-licensed and opened to private investment in 1991, resulting in Independence Power Plants (IPP). After five years, the focus shifted to unbundling of the State Electricity Boards (SEBs) to ensure better returns from the generation and transmission businesses.

Abstract: Electricity is termed as the fundamental “Right” to life and liberty of every Indian citizen as per Article-21 of Constitution of India…!
Access to electricity is necessary for modern economic & overall social development of the country. Electricity opens the new avenues of technologies that promote education, public health and mass communication. Without electricity, communities are unable to participate in the benefits of modern advances and may left isolate, literally in the dark. Electricity is a neat and clean, superior form of energy than heat and easy to transport and storage with comparatively lesser losses. It may generate heat, turn a motor and may produce efficient lighting. India is agriculture-based country, more than 70 % of India lives in villages, and therefore, ‘Rural Electrification’ is key step in the direction to uplift the quality of life of common man.

Abstract: Earthing is very important, since large number of faults involve earth are caused due to thunderstorm or lighting strokes. The term earthing and grounding have the similar meaning and it means of making a connection between the equipment under protection and the general mass of the earth. The main purpose of grounding is to minimize the effect of transient overvoltage occurred due to lighting stroke, in accordance with the standards for personnel safety and for assisting the rapid detection and isolation of the fault areas. Earthing connections are accomplished by driving earth electrode into several different-different places of the earth. Earth electrode is of a metal plate, metal pipe or metal conductors electrically connected to the earth and the equipment to be earthed.

Subject: Improvement in quality of AMD contaminated water by treatment with limestone and filtration through activated charcoal and sand filter
Keywords: Acid mine drainage, Coal mining, Improvement in water quality, Neutralization by limestone, Filtration with charcoal and sand
Abstract: Unscientific coal mining in Jaintia Hils, Meghalaya has severely degraded the environment of the area. The water of the area has become highly acidic and contaminated with different impurities making the water unsuitable for domestic and irrigation uses leading to scarcity of clean water in the mining area. Acid mine drainage (AMD) has been recognized as the main cause of water pollution. This calls for an urgent action to improve the quality of water to ease the water stress in the area. Laboratory experiments involving treatment of acidic water using locally available limestone and subsequent filtration through the layers of activated charcoal and sand yielded promising results towards the improvement of water quality. Treatment with limestone raised the pH from 2.8 -7.31, well within the acceptable limit. Subsequent filtration improved the water quality further by bringing the values of calcium, turbidity, total dissolved solids (TDS), alkalinity and metals, such as zinc and aluminium within the acceptable limits prescribed by Bureau of Indian Standards. The promising results of the present study can be used for designing suitable filtration units for domestic uses as well as for treatment of stream water for irrigation and ecological purposes.

Keywords: Biosorption, Potato peel, Heavy metals, aqueous solution, Adsorption isotherm
Abstract: The ability of potato peel to act as biosorption medium in the removal of metal ions from aqueous solution was investigated. The adsorbent removal efficiency was determined as a function of contact time, initial metal ion concentration, pH and temperature. Potato peel was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).FTIR results showed that the functional groups providing the active sites are carboxyl, hydroxyl and carbonyl groups. Results from the biosorption experiment showed that potato peel displays a good binding affinity with metals ions [cr (vi0 and Ni (II) in the aqueous solution. The equilibrium profile fits with the Langmuir isotherm with a coefficient values of 0.93 and 0.99 for Ni (II) and Cr (VI) and Freundlich isotherm having coefficient values of 0.97 and 0.99 for Ni (ii) and Cr (VI), respectively. The potato peel was found to be highly efficient in the removal of selected heavy metal ions.

Abstract: Scrappers or scrap dealers or scrap traders play an important role in the municipal waste management of a city, like collection, storage, sorting, reuse and recycling of waste. Scrapping has become a ,livelihood practice of a large group of people especially in developing countries, where government authorities are not much efficient in waste management .Scrappers not only clean the cities but also help the city authorities by doing so. But their socio-economic condition is not well. In this research paper the results of a survey have been discussed to assess the socio-economic scenario of scrappers in the city of Varanasi of Uttar Pradesh state in India, like education, health , entrainment help from NGOs, police harassment and their prediction of waste collection , storage, sorting , selling, etc. The results of the survey clearly indicate the socio-economic condition of these scrappers is very bad and need the attention of government and waste management authorities for the improvement of them.

Keywords: Wheat, Mustard, Heavy metal, Bioconcentration factor, Translocation factor
Abstract: Plants show natural ability to absorb and accumulate trace metals from soil. The aim of the present research paper is to study the accumulation and distribution pattern of some heavy metals, namely Cr, Cu, Pb, Ni, Zn in different parts (root, stem, leaf and seed) of wheat and mustard crops, grown in fields around Guru Nanak Dev Thermal Power plant Bathinda, Punjab. For this purpose, the bio concentration factor (BCF) and translocation factor (TF) of metals between the different plant parts of both the crops and the soils were studied. Findings of the present study indicate that all the studied metals have primarily accumulated in roots of both the crops .In both crops, the concentrations of all the studied heavy metals in plant tissues were diminishing from the root to the aerial parts. The levels of all the trace elements were higher in the mustard crop than the wheat crop. The concentrations of all the metals in both crops were within safe limits of Indian standards for plants.

Abstract: The experimental study envisages the elimination of a purple dye KB which is the discharges of a textile plant ENADITEX of the industrial zone of the Wilaya Oran, Algeria. This dye , like the other dyes, is a pollutant and hardly degradable. Trees solid adsorbents: Titanium oxide, white clay and calcium were used to remove the organic dye KB (cationic type) used in the textile industry. The kinetic study of the purple dye absorption process showed that the removal using Titanium oxede, white clay and calcium oxide attained was 87%, 80% and 86%, respectively for respective contact times of 200 min, 60 min, 50 min and that the adsorption of the purple dye by the three solid materials was well described by the pseudo–second order model while the thermodynamic study revealed the adsorption process was physical. On the other hand, the study of the adsorption isotherms using different classical models showed that adsorption can be described by the Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models.
