1) Development Of Instrument And Methodology For Testing Stability Of Slopes-Dr.J.M.Raut (14th March 2022) Stability of slope is major concern nowadays. Failure of slope is natural disaster and most of the time can be seen in hilly region. To understand the failure mechanism of slopes there are various methods and also some models are been prepared for testing purpose. Slope failure can be occurred due to increase in pore water pressure, weathering of soil, cracking, decomposition of clayey rock fills, intensity of rainfall, duration of rainfall. By considering all these causes analysis of slope stability is most important to protect the slopes from failures. Slope stability analysis can be static, analytical methods to evaluate the stability of hills, natural slopes, excavated slopes etc. Analysis is generally done to understand the causes of failure or factors which affects the movement of slopes etc. Model development is also one of the way to analyze the slope failure because of some specific reason. By various causes of slope failure if we consider the rainfall then it can cause major damages to the slope. So understanding the rainfall effect on the slopes in hilly region is the major aspect to study. |

2) Experimental Analysis Of Greywater Treatment By Hybrid Process Of Solar Based Electrocoagulation And Semi Membrane Process Prof. K.A.Ansari (08th April 2022) One of the most serious effects of micro pollutants in the environment is biological magnification, which causes adverse effects on humans and the ecosystem. Among all of the micro-pollutants, antibiotics are commonly present in the aquatic environment due to their wide use in treating or preventing various diseases and infections for humans, plants, and animals. Therefore, an aluminum based electrocoagulation unit has been used in this study to remove solid and organic concentrations antibiotics, as a model of the antibiotics, from Greywater Treatment. The effects of current-density, electrolysis-time, and inter-electrode-gap on COD-removal and electrical-energy consumption were investigated. Under the optimal conditions.(J=6ma/cm2, t=60 min, I=1.5cm).- |

3) Adsorbent Containing Filter (ACF) Prof. Rajesh Bhagat
(07th February 2022) ACF is a modified design of sand filter in which the sand layer, fine aggregate & coarse aggregate is placed in layers with depth 120mm and diameter 100mm. The adsorbent developed from agricultural waste is used below the layer of sand and above the fine aggregate to treat the industrial wastewater. Increase in depth of adsorbent layer advisable if better quality of effluent is required. Four adsorbents are used prepared from four different agricultural wastes (Pigeon Pea Husk, Rice Husk, Wheat Husk & Soya Bean Husk) in ACF for removal of heavy metals from industrial wastewater and efficiency is compared. It is a vertically down flow filter. As aerobic condition prevails at each layer there is no unpleasant odor and no anoxic conditions. This filter is efficient to remove heavy metals from industrial wastewater. Adsorbent layer is used in place of other media layer because it is better to remove heavy metals. |

4) Composite Adsorbent Filter (CAF) Prof. Rajesh Bhagat(07th February 2022) CAF is a modified design of sand filter in which the sand layer & aggregate is placed in layers with depth 5cm. The composite adsorbent (CA) developed from agricultural waste is used below the layer of sand and above the fine aggregate to treat the industrial wastewater. Increase in depth of adsorbent layer advisable if better quality of effluent is required. Four adsorbents are used prepared from four different agricultural wastes (Pigeon Pea Husk, Rice Husk, Wheat Husk & Soya Bean Husk) in CAF for removal of heavy metals from industrial wastewater and efficiency is compared. It is a vertically down flow filter. As aerobic condition prevails at each layer there is no unpleasant odor and no anoxic conditions. This filter is efficient to remove heavy metals from industrial wastewater. Different CA layer is used in place of other media layer because it is better to remove heavy metals. |

5) Low Cost Briquette Making Machine- Dr. M. S. Bhagat(12th October 2021) There are different types of equipment’s available for making the briquettes from various refused materials. These briquettes (white coal) made from various refused materials can be used as an alternative fuel for firewood or coal. Utilization of the refused materials from the basic sources will reduce the load on the dumping ground and keep the environment clean. The briquettes (white coal) made from refused/waste materials has heating value or calorific value nearly equivalent to that of coal. Hence it can be used as an alternative fuel and reduce the pressure on the conventional fuel and also help inprotecting the integrity of the Mother Earth |
