Research Statement

Adsorption and Adsolubilization of organics from wastewater is one of the key research areas in the field of environmental engineering. Metal oxide surfaces are generally preferred for the adsorption of different surfactants because of its high capacity. The surfactant forms monolayer or bilayer structures on the surface of metal oxides. These structures are generally called hemi-micelles and ad-micelles which are capable of solubilizing organic compounds within their structure. This process is called Adsolubilization.

Phosporus recovery from solid waste is another area which requires in the present scinerio. Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for all life. Phosphorus is a non-renewable resource. Phosphorus recovery is technically possible; however the viability will ultimately depend on commercial factors. A process for extraction and recovery of phosphorus from solid animal wastes such as for example, poultry litter waste, includes the steps of phosphorus extraction, phosphorus recovery, and phosphorus recovery enhancement. Process has been developed for this purpose.

Advanced oxidation process is also an important wastewater treatment process for highly concentrated and low volume of wastewater contaminated by different organic compounds. This process relies on generation of hydroxyl radicals by various process like Fenton process, UV-hydrogen peroxide, ozone etc. The process parameters may be optimized for different types of wastewater and design parameters may be evaluated.

Electrokinetic soil remediation is also one of the important research area for decontamination of clayey soil where other traditional methods like soil washing, soil flashing etc. are not effective due to low permeability of soil. The electrokinetic remediation method relies on the application of direct current in soil. The operational process parameters may be optimized for this process. Also numerical simulation can also be done to predict the operation in real filed.

Antibiotic resistance development in wastewater is one of the emerging issues in the present scenario. Antibiotics are considered as the emerging contaminants in the environment and their concentration (though in microgram level) in wastewater is relatively high in developing countries like India compared to advanced countries. Due to present of antibiotics in wastewater for long period of time, it has been see that the microorganism have become resistant against these antibiotics. A thorough evaluation of the risk associated to antibiotic resistance should be studied and remedial measures may be recommended. Apart from this, the role of conventional wastewater treatment processes may be studied to reduce antibiotic concentration and resistant genes.
