Detection and Removal of Heavy Metals from Wastewater Using Nanomaterials
No full textWater is the most vital natural resource and is required for the survival of all living beings. One of the most challenging water‐related problems is water contamination due to heavy metal pollution. Heavy metals such as Zn, Cu, Pb, Hg, etc. could pose a health hazard due to their bioaccumulation in higher trophic levels of the food chain. These heavy metals have the potential to damage kidneys, lungs, central nervous system, and other important organs. Excessive levels of heavy metals can cause both acute and chronic toxicity to humans. Various techniques, for instance, flocculation, ion exchange, chemical precipitation, ultrafiltration coagulation, and many more, have been utilized for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater. However, these methods have some disadvantages such as the requirement of a large number of reagents, generation of toxic sludge, and removal of even essential metal ions. Due to these reasons, the abovementioned techniques have been replaced by immobilization and absorption on suitable sorbent methods, which are considered as the best way for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater because they cannot be degraded or destroyed. After adsorbing on sorbents, heavy metals can be easily removed and reused as raw materials. Due to the large surface area of nanomaterials, these are being used as an adsorbent for the last few years. Nanomaterials are characterized by high‐energy adsorption sites and a strong binding ability as compared with conventional adsorbents, which make them excellent adsorbents for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater. This chapter highlights the role of different types of nanomaterials (carbon and metal‐based), dendrimers, and nanocomposites in the removal of heavy metals from wastewater. The possibility of future research directions is elaborated in the chapter
Development of cenogram technique over the past six decades with some insights into the varied habitats occupied by diverse mammalian communities across Spain, China, and India transiting the middle miocene climatic optimum
No full textThe climatic evolution of the Neogene, with long-term cooling disrupted by the Middle Miocene Climatic Optimum (MMCO; ~17–14.75 Ma), arises as a suitable baseline to analyze the effects of these transcendent climatic changes on the mammalian community structures. The present investigation is an attempt to examine the palaeohabitat of a Neogene (Middle Miocene: ~15–11.5 Ma) geographically distant (i.e., from Spain, China, and India) extinct mammalian communities utilizing the cenogram approach (in both qualitative and quantitative framework). The detailed statistical analyses (presented herein) incorporating a total of eight mammalian communities allows us to infer predominance of Tropical Deciduous Forest environments between ~15 and ~11.5 Ma interval, with several pulses of distinctive aridity experienced by some communities thriving within the Iberian region. On the contrary, stable forested conditions were witnessed by the middle Miocene communities of Asia [i.e., the ~11.5 million-year-old mammalian community of Laogou (China), and the ~13.5 million-year-old mammalian community of Ramnagar (north India)]. Our present investigation also infers that additional mammalian remains (particularly of body mass of <35 kg) are warranted to decipher the habitat (based on cenogram approach) of the Middle Miocene (~13 Ma) mammalian community of Kalagarh (Himalayan Foreland Basin, north India) and the Middle Miocene (~14 Ma) mammalian community of Palasava (Kutch Basin, western India). Nonetheless, the Cenogram technique (being continuously developed over the past six decades) may become an important tool to decipher any habitat change(s) of western India’s mammalian communities considering renewed palaeontological efforts within the Neogene of the region.Ministerio de Educación, Ciencia e Investigación (España)Depto. de Didáctica de las Ciencias Experimentales, Sociales y MatemáticasFac. de EducaciónTRUEpu

An Assessment of Metal Pollution in the Surface Sediments of an East Antarctic Lake
No full textThis study discusses the metal concentrations and sedimentological data from Lake L55, a dried, land-locked lake from Schirmacher Oasis, East Antarctica. Toxic metals in sediments are a major threat to the environment. Twenty-five surface sediment samples were analyzed for the presence of fifteen metals. The sedimentological data indicates that the sediments are predominantly sandy with low concentrations of silt and clay. The chemical weathering index for the sediments reflects low degree of weathering. Negligible concentrations of organic content were present in the sediments owing to the cold and dry conditions of the study area. The environmental pollution indices indicate elevated concentrations of Ba, Zn, As and Pb in the sediments. Barium could be supplied by the weathering of the quartzofeldspathic catchment rocks, while Zn, As and Pb could be supplied from the fuel burning for power generation and logistical activities, paint residue, and battery waste. The sediment quality guidelines were calculated for the sediments, and they indicate that the sediments have a 21% risk of being toxic. The pollution load index, potential ecological risk index (PERI) and toxic risk index (TRI) values suggest low toxic risk in the sediments of the lake.Fil: Joju, G. S..

Retaining formal volunteers in volunteer based organizations
No full textAbstract Problem Formal Volunteers in volunteer based organizations drop out at a fast pace due to many reasons like lack of interest what they are doing, conflict among volunteers, lack of motivation, job dissatisfaction due to prolonged volunteering etc. which is causing to improper functioning of these organizations and reaches a point where these volunteer based organizations find it difficult to function properly. The author in this study tries to address this particular issue of this drop out of formal volunteers. Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore the factors which helps in the retention of formal volunteers in a volunteer based organization for a longer period. Method The research in this paper is done in a qualitative way with primary data collected in the form of participant observation and open interview in two voluntary organizations. The collected data is analyzed in content analysis. The secondary data is collected in the form of necessary documents provided by the participating organizations. Results Many factors were found to influence retention of volunteers namely Job satisfaction, Motivation, Public Service Motivation, Organizational Commitment, Mission Attachment, Work load, Relationship with Coworkers, Justice of Organization, Flexible Timing, Training & Orientation. Conclusions Recommendations to improve retention is mentioned and a future model is also proposed. The result obtained from this research can be generalized to other form of small scale volunteer organizations where the major employees are formal volunteers
