Electro-coagulation [EC] process to treat basic dye

In 21st century the world is facing the critical issue of waste water management, textile industry are the top most red industries in the world. Industrial processes create a variety of wastewater pollutants, highly turbid which are difficult and expensive to treat. In this paper (basic dye) camel ink is treated by using electro-coagulation process. Experiment is carried out by using batch mode reactor in a laboratory using aluminum electrodes. UV Spectrophotometer is used to carry absorbance. Experiment is carried out by using aeration with electro coagulation.

Highly potent toxicity of nickel in river water to daphnia lumholtzi

Trace metals are essential for aquatic organisms at low concentrations but become toxic at certain concentrations. This study aimed to evaluate the acute and chronic toxicity of Ni dissolved in natural water of Saigon River in Vietnam to the tropical micro-crustacean, Daphnia lumholtzi. Filtered field water was physical and chemical characterization prior to the acute and chronic experiments. In the acute test, D. lumholtzi was exposed to Ni at the concentrations from 50 – 1000 µg/L.
