3. INTRODUCTION
WATER
• EARTH IS KNOWN AS THE “BLUE PLANET” BECAUSE 71% OF THE EARTH SURFACE IS
COVERD WITH WATER.
• WATER ALSO EXISTS BELOW LAND SURFACE AND AS WATER VAPOR IN THE AIR.
• WATER IS A FINITE SOURCE.
• THE EARTH AS AN ABUNDANCE OF WATER, BUT UNFORUNATELY, SMALL
PERCENTAGE (ABOUT 0.3%) IS EVEN USEBLE BY HUMANS.
• THE OTHER 99.7% IS IN THE OCEANS, SOILS, ICECAPS, AND FLOATING IN THE
ATMOSPHERE.
• MOST OF THE USED BY HUMANS COMES FROM RIVERS.

4. DISTRIBUTION OF THE WATER
ON EARTH
• Ocean water: 97.2 %
• Glaciers and other ice: 2.15%
• Groundwater: 0.61%
• Fresh water lakes: 0.009%
• Inland seas: 0.008%
• Soil Moisture: 0.005%
• Atmosphere: 0.001%
• Rivers: 0.0001%

5. WASTEWATER DISTRIBUTION
• Out of 16,662.5 MLD of wastewater generated, only 4037.2 mld (24
%) is treated before release, the rest (i.e12,626.30 MLD) is disposed of
untreated.
• Twenty-seven cities have only primary treatment facilities and only
forty-nine have primary and secondary treatment facilities.
• In sewage treatment wastewater treatment involves breakdown of
complex organic compounds in the wastewater into simpler
compounds that are stable and nuisance-free, either physico-
chemically and/or by using micro-organisms (biological treatment).

7. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF WASTEWATER
TREATMENT
• Labor-saving
• Produce energy
• Fertilizer production
• Reduce public health risk
• Environment friendly
• Putrid odor
• Bacterial imbalance
• High installation costs
• More use of power
• Maintenance costs

8. AUTHOR NAME TOPIC CONCLUSION
T. Palani, et al, (2021) Areca nut fiber and its implementation
in sustainable products
• The shredded plastic was added to
the clayey soil at 6 different
percentages by dry weight of the
soils 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%,
2.5%, and 3.0% with 0.5
increment.
• The addition of shredded plastic
waste up to 1.5% lead to a
noticeable improvement in the
unconfined compression strength
of soil.

9. Jayasree P K et al (2021) Strength and compressibility
characteristics of soil stabilized with
plastic bag strips
• The Plastic bag stripes used were 15
µm, 30 µm and 45 µm which were
added in varying concentrations
(0.1%-0.7%) at different aspect ratios
1, 2 and 2.5.
• PBS have a significant influence on the
Unconfined compressive strength and
compressibility behaviour of soil.
D. Gardete et al (2019) Soil stabilization with waste plastic
and tyre fibers
• Three contents of plastic waste and
waste tire fibers were used for
stabilization, 1%, 2% and 3% were
used.
• Stabilization with waste plastic flakes
increased CBR(California bearing
ratio) by more than 20% when
compared to original soil.
9

10. Saurab A et al (2018) Stabilization of soil by plastic
waste
• The CBR test is conducted for the red
soil and black cotton soil, adding the
0.7% of plastic stripes to red soil and
0.5% for the black cotton soil.
• It's found that the strength of the soil is
inflated ensuing the bearing quantitative
relation of 2.9 for red soil and 3.3 for the
black cotton soil.
Jasmin Varghese kalliyath et al
(2016)
Soil stabilization using plastic
fibres
• The replacement of 0.5% of plastic fibers
to the expensive clayey soil reduce its
OMC and increased the maximum dry
density. The unconfined compression
strength of the soil was found to be
increased for 0.5%.
• The optimum percentage of plastic is
recommended as 0.5% which will
improve the engineering properties of the
silty clay.

11. Ghatge Sandeep Hambirao et al
(2014)
Soil stabilization using waste
shredded rubber tyre chips
• Shredded rubber from waste as been
chosen as the reinforcement material and
as a binding agent which was randomly
included into the soils at three different
percentages of fiber content, that is 5%,
10% and 15% by weight of soil.
V. Mohanalakshmi et al (2016) Geotechnical properties of soil
stabilized with wollastonite
• Addition of wollastonite improves the
properties of the red soil.
• Increase of MDD by the addition of
wollastonite enhances the strength of the
red soil.

12.  The investigation of influence of change in the quantity of adsorbent
dosage on the adsorption process.
 To study the initial PH of metal ion concentration, contact time and
percentage removal of metal ions.
 To reduce the metal ion concentration in Synthetic wastewater with the
help of natural adsorbents

13. Materials required
The following are the materials used
1. Arecanut peel
• In karnataka the Arecanut is highly cultiavated in chickmangalore district.
• The adsorbent preparation Arecanut husk (Areca catechu) is obtained
• from a plantation near Davanagere was used.
2. Banana peel
• In Karnataka the banana is highly cultivated in mysore district,
• The absorbent Banana (Musa Acuminata species) peels were collected
from Shamnur village near Davangere.

3. Orange Peel
• In Karnataka the oranges are highly cultivated in Kodagu district.
• This district is called as land of oranges.
• Orange peels will be collected from plantation near by Davanagere.
4. Coconut Shell
• In Karnataka the Coconut is highly cultivated in Tumkur
district.
• The absorbent Coconut Shell will be collected near
Davangere.

15. BATCH STUDIES
• Batch adsorption experiments will be conducted at
ambient temperature using the
• Optimum conditions of all factors that influence
adsorption such as adsorbent dose, Ph, initial ion
concentration, particle size and agitation time.
Wastewater contain Cd was placed in a Erlenmeyer
flask and adsorbent was added. The mixture was
mechanically agitated at on a reciprocate shaker.
• The Cadmium concentration treated wastewater was
analyzed at time intervals using standard methods
recommended for examination.

16. COLUMN STUDIES
16
• Column studies was conducted in downflow fixed-bed
column packed with activated carbon at 3 cm, 6 cm, and
9 cm.
• Glass wool was used at the bottom of the column to prevent
the leaching of activated carbon and clogging of the drainage
area.
• It was also placed on the top of the adsorbent bed to gently
distribute the solution onto the adsorbent surface and to
maintain a consistent flow.
• The initial concentrations of cadmium solutions were fixed.
pH is set using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrochloric
acid.
• The optimum values of batch adsorption conditions were
adopted in the column study.
• Measurement of residual concentrations was conducted
using a spectrophotometer.
