Unified, simple and decentralized treatment process for synthetic and real-time dye contaminated wastewaters.

The aim of this study is to develop a simple, economical and effective treatment scheme to treat effluents from small scale textile dyeing units and tanneries, which have been set up in rural areas. The physicochemical properties of real time effluents procured from these industries were analysed. The workflow required for treating these effluents were ascertained by preliminary tests carried out on synthetically created solutions.

Preparation of black lyophilic ink using the carbon soot emitted by vehicles.

The carbon soot is formed as a consequence of incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons and organic matter. It causes respiratory diseases like lung cancer and asthma and contributes to 1.6 million premature deaths every year.
