    The document discusses a project to prepare low-cost activated carbon from wood sources like eucalyptus, acacia, and derris to remove heavy metals from industrial wastewater. This would provide an affordable alternative to commercial activated carbon. The activated carbon could be produced locally and sold to industries and merchants. It would purify wastewater in an economically viable way while providing income opportunities. The technology is simple and the materials are easily available, making wastewater treatment and safe drinking water access possible at low cost. This protects the environment by preventing soil and water contamination from industrial pollutants.

    Protection of Soil, Surface Water and Ground water from Industrial & Chemical

    pollution

    Many Industries including Leather, Paint, Tanning, Electro plating produce waste waters which
    are containing various heavy metals. The presence of heavy metals in the waste water in one of the major
    environmental concerns because of their reported toxic and carcinogenic effects. Consequently it is
    essential to treat such industrial waste water before the same in discharged to the environment. In removal
    of heavy metals adsorption is found to be better than other.

    The removal of cadmium, chromium and lead from industrial wastewater can be done by adsorption
    principles using Activated carbon. Several researchers used different materials in preparation of activated
    carbons, but the availability of these materials and their cost make them practically infeasible to make use
    of them at local level. Hence industrialists have the option of using commercial activated carbon for the
    treatment of wastewater coming out from their units. Though importance of treatment is felt, its cost keeps
    the industrialists away from adopting the same. It is also a fact that till date, no material proves to be a
    better adsorbent than commercial activated carbon. Since the cost of activated carbon and its regeneration
    cost is high, the technology remains inaccessible.

    This project would deal with the preparation of low cost activated carbon from the wood of hybrid
    eucalyptus, Acacia nilotica and Derris indica and employing it as an adsorbent for long heavy metal removal
    such as Lead, Chromium ,Cadmium. Also it will be a good replacement for commercial activated carbon

    Economics:

    - Since all the above plants are available in most parts of our country and it is containing any
    medicinal value , it will be useful to the below all

     Local People will cut those plants and prepare activated carbon and will have a good income when
    selling local merchants
     Local merchants will sell that Activated carbon to Wholesale agents
     Whole sale merchants will sell it to industries
     Industries after using will send it for incineration

    - So Water pollution and soil pollution will be avoided in our country

    - Most of these plants are easily available so collection and making will be easy and even
    exhausted carbon can be again be recycled
    - Technologically easy in preparation and usage.
    - Easy for regeneration of heavy metals and disposal
    - These activated carbon can be used as Water purifiers for drinking water.
    - All Dissolved solids, colour , odour will be adsorbed by the carbon leaving pure water
    - Cost of production of 10 kg of these Carbon is less than Rs.100
    Advantages :

    This technology and materials will not use in prevention of pollutants and also use in water
    purification systems at a very low cost. Due to technological feasibility and easy available materials, this
    ensures safe and pure drinking water to all.
    Environmental Protection:

    Effluents from Industrial Waste water is a burning issue in most part of our country and
    contaminates soil, surface water and ground water with chemicals and makes unfit for usage. The use of
    this technology will save our soil , ponds , lakes, rivers for better environmental management for our future
    generation.
