Coal mine in India is one of the biggest source of energy production. Coal is the major component used in thermal power plants which helps in consuming 71% of electricity generated by these thermal power plants in India. In opencast coal mining excavation of coal is done and huge area is abandoned after coal is being excavated. The OBD soil which is present at these mine sites is very poor in nutrients that it is usually unfavorable for any type of plantation to be carried out. Keeping this in mind another factor comes across is that thermal power plants are located nearby coal mines which gives fly ash as combustion product of coal and disposal of this fly ash is very crucial. Therefore, this fly ash can be used along with coal mine OBD soil which it has efficiency in improving soil fertility in many ways. Revegetation is one of the most accepted way of soil reclamation and reduction in soil erosion. The suitability of soil for growth of bamboo is checked by planting bamboo saplings in an area of 3 x 3 feet having depth 1 foot in a systematic manner by attempting field trial. © BEIESP.

Management of coal mine overburden and fly ash using bamboo cultivation

The construction boom in Pune is leading to generation of enormous of Construction & Demolition (CDW) waste and this trend is likely to further increase in recent decades. Pune is fast paced city and is known as IT and automobile hub of county with rapid growing population. A city with dynamic construction and real estate industry reinforced by some public infrastructure project of transportation and utilities. Rapid development has led to increase in construction activities in the city leading to increases in quantities of construction and demolition waste generated in the city. In this paper, content analysis approach was adopted to analyse the information collected from previous literature, government reports and information retrieved from relevant Construction & Demolition (CDW) waste management rules. This paper focuses on quantity & source of Construction & Demolition CDW waste; also reflects current scenario of disposal and its effects. It is anticipated that the collection plan could help in management of construction & demolition waste and in reduction of illegal dumping. © BEIESP.

The Inception and Evoluation of EIA & Environmental Clearence process in india

The present paper discusses the results of the study of adsorption of methylene blue on activated carbon, derived from cheap and abundantly available agro-residue of Jowar Stalk (JS) [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] on suitable heat and acid treatment. The physico-chemical and morphological characteristics of processed carbon of JS origin were studied using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer, Emmett and Teller surface area, and Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry analyses. The batch studies revealed optimum values of adsorption parameters such as pH, adsorbent dosage, agitation speed, grain size, temperature, and contact time as 7, 1.5 g l−1, 200 rpm, finer than 75 µm, 30 °C, and 7 h, respectively. The adsorption isotherm data were best described by Langmuir isotherm model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 176.05 mg MB g−1 JS activated carbon at 30 °C, which is higher than that available with adsorbents used by past researchers. In terms of cost-effectiveness, JS carbon shows its superiority over commercially available carbon.

“Removal of Methylene Blue (MB) dye from water Environment by processed Jowar stalk [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] adsorbent “

Methylene blue (MB), a common toxic dye, is largely discharged from dyeing processes for acrylic, nylon, silk, and woolen fabrics in textile industries. While application of conventional removal processes like chemical precipitation, ion exchange, commercial activated carbon adsorption, etc often become cost-prohibitive, the adsorption of MB by abundantly available green pea peel (GPP: Pisum sativum) derived and acid-treated carbon (GPP-AC) has proved to be a cost-attractive option in the present study. The physicochemical and morphological characteristics of GPP-AC were examined with the help of XRD, BET surface area, SEM, and Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry ((FT-IR) analysis. The influences of such adsorption parameters as initial dye concentration, pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage, agitation speed, particle size, and temperature were evaluated and optimized. The equilibrium contact time for maximum adsorption of MB on to GPPAC was found to be 7 h. The equilibrium data of the adsorption process were modeled by using the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Raduskevich (D-R) isotherms. However, the adsorption equilibrium data were best described by the Langmuir Isotherm model, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 163.94 mg MB/g GPPAC at 30°C. © The Korean Society for Biotechnology and Bioengineering and Springer 2012.
