Various agricultural wastes have been used in recent times for this bio-sorption process. In this study the readily available and cost effective husk of Phaseolus vulgaris, a local bean in southwestern Nigeria was used as adsorbent. The heavy metals concentration of the metal ion solution after adsorption was determined with Atomic Adsorption Spectroscopy (AAS). The result shows that removal efficiency of beans husk decreases with increase in initial concentration but increase with contact time and increasing adsorbent dosage. The adsorption capacity however increases with increase in initial concentration but decrease as adsorbent doses increase. The optimum pH for the adsorption of lead was 1.55 and 4.90 for cadmium. From the results, a cheap and cost effective adsorbent for the removal of heavy metals from waste water is achieved.<#LINE#>Nwuche, C.O. and Ugoji, E.O.

Grinding which is a product finishing operation generates considerable amount of sludge in automotive parts manufacturing. The disposal of the grinding sludge is a challenge for the industries. Currently, landfilling is one of the most adopted option for disposal of grinding sludge, which is the most expensive considering the environmental aspects. The grinding sludge comprises of oil based coolant (cutting oil) and metal chips. This study aims at treating the sludge economically for its oil removal and reusing dried sludge in concrete blocks and clay bricks. The paper includes major findings of the study and summarises the best detergent for washing of sludge. The dried sludge which is used for manufacturing of concrete blocks and clay bricks has been tested for compressive strength test, water absorption for clay bricks and slump test for concrete and are compared with conventionally manufactured concrete blocks and clay bricks.<#LINE#>Ruffino, B., & Zanetti, M.

V34 Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire<#LINE#>2/8/2019<#LINE#>5/2/2019<#LINE#>This work is original in characterizing the traditional solar drying of six cassava varieties (Akaman, Bocou, Bonoua, Manioc blanc, Yacé and Yavo) grown intensely in Côte d'Ivoire. In its implementation, the drying kinetic of these cassava varieties was monitored over a week. Known mass of these cassava samples were dried directly in the sun on an aluminum support. The measurements of sample temperatures, those of the ambient air and the aluminum support, as well as the weighing of these samples, were carried out at well-defined time intervals. From results obtained, it appears that all drying curves of these cassava varieties have a decreasing algorithmic appearance. The moisture for all these cassava varieties, less than 3% of their initial moisture, was obtained after seven consecutive drying days. Their critical moisture (between 0.923 and 1.322 g/g dry matter) is relatively important. This is also the case for their mean vaporization enthalpy (between 8.19106 and 1.72 kWh/kg), mean heat transfer coefficient (between 334.20 and 340.88 W.m2/°C), mean overall diffusion resistance to water vapor (between 4106.17 and 5408.96 m2s/kg) and mean mass transfer coefficient (between 1.0910-4 and 1.5010-4 kg/m2sbar).<#LINE#>Lewis (1921).@The rate of drying of solid materials.@J.

Increasing amount of solid waste is severely affecting human health and surrounding environment. One of the preferred methods to deal with solid waste disposal is sanitary landfill, which is designed to minimize the impact on environment. Major problem is caused to ground water by generation of leachate. Hence, Synthetic liners are used with layers of soil having permeability less than 1 x10-7 to prevent the flow of leachate out of landfill. Synthetic liners are costly and cannot be used in rural areas, where financial feasibility can be achieved by locally available clay liner. This study makes an attempt to produce liners with locally available soil samples and using admixture to make low permeable barrier. This study aims on checking geotechnical properties of various locally available soils and use them in layers as liner system in prototype models.<#LINE#>Anjali Prakash & Emy Poulose.

Nowadays it is becoming global threat for several water bodies and associated organisms hence considered as an alarming pollutant. On the other hand, heavy metals being persistent problem for aquatic body with high biomagnification capacity. In general, both Microplastic and Heavy metals acts as a stressor for the aquatic ecosystem and its biota. To explore the interactions, a short exposure study was conducted in which we examined the adsorption of two metals, Nickel (Ni) and Lead (Pb), taken places from a paint which has antifouling nature onto the surface of unexposed Polyethylene (PE) and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) beads. We have very clearly observed that both Ni and Pb was continuously released from paint into the tap water sample and adhered onto the surfaces of exposed microplastic beads but with specific preferential coexistence. Like, it was observed that Pb adsorption was appreciably greater in PE beads than in PVC further on the other side of Ni adsorption was significantly greater in PVC beads than in PE. This result strongly suggests that after degradation when a plastic convert into microplastic which has a high tendency to adhere heavy metals, further, act as a transport vehicle of such metals which moves one place to another in an ambient environment.<#LINE#>An analysis of European plastics production, demand and waste data.

Various natural as well as anthropogenic activities have inevitably increased greenhouse gases leading to climate change and chronic disease development. The extreme globalisation, urbanisation and population rise together with natural disasters, improper resource management and vehicle exhaust had created a holocaust of environmental contaminants. To counter it, numerous short-term and long-term interventions are available by government organisations, NGOs and civil societies. In long term interventions, environmental biotechnology is the best method to preserve ecosystem from pollution in an eco-friendly manner. Some of its applications include bioremediation, biocomposting, bioenergy and biomarkers that can substitute the fossil fuel and reduce waste generation. Significant progress is being done in India's National Solar Mission to achieve renewable and clean energy sources thereby fulfilling Goal 7 of the SDGs. There are several sustainable working models available that can be modified according to the need of location. Furthermore, advance studies for biodiversity exploration, adequate and strict government policies implementation and change in lifestyle are required to reap the environmental pollution and move towards sustainable future.<#LINE#>Lelieveld, J., Evans, J.S., Fnais, M., Giannadaki, D. and Pozzer, A.

Globally groundwater is the main source of water for domestic, agricultural, industrial purposes in rural and urban areas. Due to increase in population, rapid industrialization, mismanaged agricultural practices, household sewage water, and sewage, landfills, medicines the groundwater is becoming contaminated by potentially toxic metals, pesticides, nitrate, fluoride, volatile organic compounds and pharmaceuticals by leaching process. Groundwater contamination causes a range of effects to animals and human beings. In developing countries, about 80% of diseases are waterborne diseases. Typhoid, Cholera, bacillary dysentery, hepatitis, amoebic dysentery, skin irritation, schistosomiasis, respiratory problems, gastrointestinal disorder, diarrhoea, stomatitis, tremor, hemoglobinuria, ataxia, pneumonia, depression, liver cirrhosis, hair loss, renal failure, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer, and neural disorder dental or skeletal fluorosis, methemoglobinemia, neurological disorder, cardiovascular disease, cancer, muscle paralysis, pneumonia, fetal malnutrition, leukemia, urticaria, anaphylaxis, bronchospasm, hemolyticanemia, thrombocytopemia, acute interstitial nephritis, serum sickness, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, optic neuropathy, retinal detachment and brain abscess are some diseases caused by contaminated groundwater.<#LINE#>Nouri, J., Mahvi, A.H., Babaei, A.A, Jahed, G.R., & Ahmadpour, E.
