The activated carbon produced was chemically activated with zinc chloride. Batch adsorption experiment was conducted to examine the effects of adsorbent dosage, contact time, pH and stirring rate on adsorption of Cu2+, Fe2+, Zn2+ and Pb2+ from the wastewater. The obtained results showed that, the adsorption of the metal ions was adsorbent dosage, contact time, pH and stirring rate dependent. The optimum adsorbent dosage, stirring rate and pH, were found to be at 1 g, 350 rpm and pH 6 respectively. Kinetic studies showed that pseudo-second-order reaction model best described the adsorption process. The study also showed that activated carbon prepared from coconut shell can be efficiently used as low cost alternative for removal of metal ions.<#LINE#> @ @ Mehmet E.A., Sukru D., Celalettin O. and Mustafa K., Heavy metal adsorption by modified oak sawdust, J. of Hazard.

XRD studies confirm the formation of cubic spinnel structure. SEM (scanning electron microscopy)/ TEM (transmission electron microscopy) was used to characterize the microstructure of the ferrite samples. A homogeneous and fine grain microstructure was found. Magnetic measurements shows that Ni05Cu0.5Fe is super paramagnetic in nature at room temperature and hence used in magnetic device. The particle size of synthesized Cu05Zn0.5Fe varied from 18nm to 68nm which is good agreement of the theoretically predicted size of nanomaterials. The method is easier more effective and convenient in comparison to the known methods of the synthesis Cu05Zn0.5Fe nano materials like combustion synthesis, thermal cracking and conventional ceramic methods.<#LINE#> @ @ Sayed A.M.El, Ceramics International, 28, 363-367 (2000) @No $ @ @ Ravinder D., Vjaya Kumar K.and Boyanov B.S., Material Letters, 38, 22-27(1999) @No $ @ @ Islam M.U., Ahmad I., Abbas T. and Chaudhry M.A.,6th International Symposium on advanced materials, 155-158(1999) @No $ @ @ David Lide R., Handbook of chemistry and physics, CRC Press, New York (1995) @No $ @ @ Goldman A., Modern Ferrite Technology, Van Nostr and Reinhold, New York (1990) @No $ @ @ Gonzalez Angeles A., Mendoza-Suarez G., Gruska A., Papanova M. and Slama J., Materials letters, 59, 20-31 (2005) @No $ @ @ Monica Sorescu, Diamandescu L., Peelamendu R., Roy R.and Yadoji P., Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials,279, 195-201 (2000) @No $ @ @ Bayliss P., Erd D.C., More Annp Sabina M.E. and Smith D.K., Mineral Powder diffraction file, JCPDS, USA (1986) @No $ @ @ Moinuddin M.K. and Murthy S.Ramana, Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 194105-107, JALCOM 539 (1993) @No $ @ @ Martha Pardavi-Horvath, Journal of magnetism and Magnetic Materials, 215-216,171-183 (2000) @No $ @ @ Noborce Ichinose, Introduction to fine ceramics, Ohmsa (publisher) Ltd.

College of Engineering, Bangalore-560059, INDIA<#LINE#>4/7/2013<#LINE#>22/7/2013<#LINE#> Alternative energy sources like bioethanol have become increasingly important in the recent past due to rapidly depleting oil reserves. Lignocellulosicfeedstocks are considered as an attractive raw material for bioethanol synthesis. Water hyacinth, an aquatic weed, tolerates variation in pH and temperature and is unaffected by toxic substances. It has high growth rates and creates problems to ecosystems and irrigation, which have called for control measures. It is found to be a suitable substrate for bioethanol production due to high cellulose and low lignin content. The two major steps involved in the conversion processes are Saccharification and Fermentation. This paper focuses on the experimental work carried out in the Saccharification stage. Pretreated Water hyacinth was added to the growth media and inoculated with Saccharification micro-organisms Trichoderma Reesei and Aspergillus Niger in different conical flasks. The optimum Saccharification period for both micro-organisms was found to be 72 hours. On testing, it was found that both organisms were capable of producing glucose, with Trichoderma Reesei (275 µg/ml) giving a better yield than Aspergillus Niger (175 µg/ml). <#LINE#> @ @ Patil J.H., MolayanLourdu Antony Raj, Bhagyashree, Vantimar Dinesh and Rohith., Kinetic Modeling of Anaerobic Co-digestion of Water Hyacinth and Poultry Litter, Research Journal of Chemical Sciences, 3(6), 69-73 (2013) @No $ @ @ GO.

Spent wash contains caramel, melanoidin and much more toxic chemicals. Melanoidin is a recalcitrant pigment responsible to give brownish colour to spent wash. In this study the physicochemical properties of spent wash effluent are studied. The isolated indigenous bacterial strain K was selected for the study of melanoidin degradation. Spent wash dilution up to 20% was used to study the degradation of melanoidin by means of isolated bacterial strain. The maximum degradation of about 55% was observed by use of isolated strain K5. This study shows that by analyzing physicochemical parameters and using indigenous bacterial strains biodegradation of spent wash contaminated land or water can be possible.<#LINE#> @ @ Kalaiselvi P. and Mahimairaja S., Effect of Biomethanated Spent Wash on Soil Enzymatic Activities, BRI.,2 (4),267-272 (2009) @No $ @ @ Rath P., Pradhan G., Misra M.K., Effect of distillery spent wash(DSW) and fertilizer on growth and chlorophyll content of sugarcane (Saccharrum officinarum L.) plant,RecentRes.

The basic reason for plating from an alloy bath is to produce some desired change in the electrodeposits unobtainable from the pure metal baths. Zinc-nickel alloy coatings can be obtained from two different systems, acidic and alkaline, both capable of producing deposits of exceptional corrosion resistance with the nickel content of 10-14% and 5-10% respectively. In this study, nano crystalline zinc-nickel coatings were electro-deposited on mild steel substrates from an electrolyte containing zinc bromide, nickel chloride and boric acid at pH 4. The bath and deposit characteristics such as cathode current efficiency, rate of build up, nature of deposit, anode efficiency, throwing power and micro hardness were studied.

The data is processed to obtain the various acoustic and thermodynamic parameters to study the molecular interactions in aqueous solutions. The values of apparent molar volume, apparent molar compressibility, partial molar volume, partial molar compressibility, specific acoustic impedance, relative association, intermolecular free length have been calculated by using standard mathematical relations. The concentration dependences of the density and ultrasonic velocity were tried to fit into linear and polynomial equations. It is interesting to see the associative interaction among the molecules and ions as well as the increase in the stacking interactions between the metal ions and tryptophan.<#LINE#> @ @ CRC Handbook of Chem and Phys 78th Ed (1997) @No $ @ @ Mishra A.P., Ultrasonic, viscometric and volumetric studies of some bioapplicable systems involving ZnCl, dextrose and methionine in water, Ind J Chem, 43A, 730(2004) @No $ @ @ Das Debashis, Ray S.K. and Hazra D.K., A study on volumetric and compressibility properties of some lithium salts in N, N-dimethylacetamide at 25C, Ind J Chem, 41A, 1812 (2002) @No $ @ @ Pal Amalendu and Suresh Kumar, Volumetric studies of some amino acids in binary aqueous solutions of MgCl.6HO at 288×15 and 308×15 K., J.

To study various water quality parameters, groundwater samples from eight major locations of the city were collected and analyzed. Samples were collected in pre-monsoon (month of April-May 2013) and preserved using suitable preservation methods. The collected groundwater samples were analyzed for the following physico-chemical parameters: temperature, colour, turbidity, pH, electric conductivity (EC), total alkalinity, phenolphthalein alkalinity, total hardness, calcium, magnesium, iron, chloride and total ammonia using the procedure outlined in the standard methods. Results showed that the water quality status was found to vary from place to place. High levels of turbidity, total alkalinity, total hardness, iron and total ammonia were found in the groundwater of many sites. The results were compared with WHO water quality guideline and National Drinking Water Quality Standard (NDWQS) of Nepal. <#LINE#> @ @ Ikem A., Odueyungbo S. and Egiebor Nyavor N.O.K., Chemical Quality of Bottled Waters from Three Cities in Eastern Alabama, Sci.

Symptomatic lead poisoning is the result of very high levels of lead in the tissues. It is possible that the content of lead in the body that is insufficient to cause obvious symptoms can nevertheless give rise to slowly evolving and long lasting adverse effects. It is clear that a continued rise in the pollution of the human environment with lead could eventually produce levels of exposure with adverse effects on human health. Traces of lead are almost ubiquitous in nature and minute amounts are found in normal diets. This article reviews the work done in the field of lead poisoning pertaining to sources of lead, symptoms of toxicity and effects on heme biosynthesis.<#LINE#> @ @ Rosenstock L., The environment as a Cornerstone of public Health, Environmental Health Perspectives,111(7), A376-A377 (2003) @No $ @ @ WHO, Lead, World Health Organization.
