            | Effect of Hydraulic Retention Time and Sludge Retention Time on Membrane  Bioreactor: Performance in Summer Season  |  | Author : JADHAO R. K. * DAWANDE S. D. |  | Abstract  |  Full Text |  | Abstract :           The major reason of this study was to examine the effect of HRT and SRT on           parameters such as chemical oxygen demand (COD), soluble COD (Sol.COD),           biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), nitrogen (ammonia NH4, nitrate NO3) contents and           phosphorus contents (Phosphate PO4), total suspended solids (TSS) and volatile           suspended solids (VSS), soluble microbial products (SMP), proteins, carbohydrates,           acetate and alkalinity (ALK) for hospital wastewater and residential quarter wastewater.           The experiments have been carried out on laboratory-scale hollow fiber submerged           membrane bioreactor (MBR) for summer season. The results have shown a high removal           efficiency of COD, BOD and ammonia which ranged between 92.51 to 97.95 %, 93.10 to           97.63 % and 97.70 to 98.67 %, respectively. While, for TSS and VSS, the removals were           found to reach almost 100 %. Comparatively, the phosphorus removal efficiency (54.50 to           57.95 %) was found inferior than other parameters.           Keywords: , ,          |  | 
 |  | Characterization and Comparative study of Cane Sugar Industry Waste  Water |  | Author : JADHAV P.G., DR. VAIDYA N.G., DETHE S.B, |  | Abstract  |  Full Text |  | Abstract :           Sugar industry is one of the most important agro based industry segment in           India. Cane Sugar Industry being an important role in the Indian economy as well as in           the foreign exchange earnings and also plays a very vital part in polluting the           environment with its waste discharge. With expansion of Sugar plants, pollution due to           inadequate and it becomes threat for environment .In this study four Sugar Industries           were selected for the analysis of the composition of their effluents, which are the primary           source of water pollution. The results of the study showed that the effluents in general           exceed the limits specified in CPCB with reference to parameters a such as BOD, COD ,           Oil and greases , total suspended solids. The effluent level found through the analysis can           be reduced if suggested recommended measures are worked upon.          |  | 
 |  | Effect of Charge Transfer on Phonon Dynamics of Polarizable Materials  |  | Author : RATHORE V. |  | Abstract  |  Full Text |  | Abstract :           This Paper gives the connection between the polarization of ions and the           repulsive force between them. We have investigated the phonon dynamics of Polarizable           Materials in NaCl phase using Rigid Shell Model with pair wise interionic interaction           potential. The potential consist of the long -range Coulomb and three-body interactions           and the short -range van der Waals interaction and the Hafemeister and Flygare type           overlap repulsion extended up to the second neighbor ions. The present model basically           includes the effect of charge transfer caused by the electron-shell deformation of the           overlapping ions in the frame work of both ions polarizable. this takes account of the           polarizability of ions for vibrations of all wavelengths. There is generally good           agreement between the measured dispersion relations and the dispersion relations           calculated on the simple version of the shell model-Coulomb forces between ions of unit           charge with the iodine atoms polarizable and central repulsive forces between first           neighbors only, acting through the iodine shell. The elastic constants obtained from the           model have been used to calculate the phonon dispersion relation in the symmetry           direction .           Key Words: lattice dynamics, polarizability, elastic constants, Phonons, Charge Transfer          |  |
