Abstract A spontaneous, one-pot strategy for the room temperature biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using Cocos Nucifera Linn (coconut palm) coir extract is described. The formation of AuNPs was observed within 30s of reaction time between the metal precursor and coir extract. The bioextract acted as both reducing agent and a stabilizer. The influence of various experimental parameters such as % volume fraction of coir extract, concentration of metal precursor, contact time and solution…
SHOULD WATER CHLORINATION BE BANNED? The recorded deaths due to waterborne diseases have demonstrated that water treatment is critical. Thus, methods like water chlorination have been developed to achieve water quality. This procedure has exhibited notable decreases in diarrhoeal diseases, and has shown prolonged disinfecting effects on many microorganisms when used with ammonia. However, there exists protozoa that are resistant to chlorination, and such spores have led to outbreaks that…
Kseniya Taranyuk Lariat Investigative Lake Mission Viejo will soon be filled with recycled water as the Santa Margarita Water District proposes to construct a water treatment facility that would intake SMWD disinfected tertiary effluent, which is liquid waste or sewage, and produce purified effluent for direct discharge and use. The structure would encompass about 5,000 square feet and would house the Advanced Water Purification treatment processes, consist of micro- or ultra- filtration,…
How much would you like to get rid of Water bottles because they’re not using purified water 25% of the time the other 75% is purified. Companies like Dasani and Aquafina are using tap water instead of purified water they just say it’s purified so they can make money. I’m a student myself and i think that source #2 is right because More than 1 billion plastic water bottles end up in California’s landfill every year , taking 1,000 years to biodegrade and leaking toxic additives such as…
are where does the water come from? Demonstrate the difference between tap water and bottled water. What is the difference between developed country water drinking and developing country water drinking? The topics that I want to address in this essay is about development of water resources of drinking water. This is very important because every organism need water to survive. Water is defined as clear liquid that is tasteless and are relate to rain, rivers, lake, and sea. Water means life for…
Water Conservation and Pollution In the world today, water scarcity persists in being an unnerving issue. The world’s supply of water is diminishing and is further narrowed by pollution. Without measures taken to conserve our water, there will be a global and chronic drought. As long as water is scarce, it is imperative to develop proposals concerning water conservation and pollution. Although water is one of the most abundant resources on the planet, we are not able to utilize the majority of…
The extent of Africa’s water crisis is severe. 358 million people do not have access to water in Africa. Actions are taking place to prevent any larger problems with Africa’s lack of water and hopefully to end the drinking of unsanitized and contaminated water. One solution is desalination, which is the removal of salts/minerals from the ocean water to create purified and drinkable water. The first criteria of this solution is that the existence of the water crisis would no longer be present.…
Water has proven to be essential to everyday lives; yet many individuals in the world lack access to clean water. People need water to survive because this resource provides many benefits in keeping the human body vigorous. Benefits that comes to drinking water is that it helps maintain the balance of bodily fluids (Zelman). A study shows that the human body is composed of 60% of water, in which it helps in digesting,absorbing, or preserving normal body temperature.Other benefits that are…
years or so. When people first started to realize that their drinking water might be contaminated, they turned to existing reverse osmosis technology to treat their water. At first it seemed like a great way to purify your water. Yet, over the years, the popularity of residential reverse osmosis systems has steadily decreased. There are three reasons for this. The first reason is the recognition that reverse osmosis strips water of minerals necessary to our health. The second reason is it can't…
While bottled water is accessible, portable and 100% recyclable, it harms our environment and leaks toxins into our groundwater. In my honest opinion, tap water should be a more favored choice because it can be purified and put into non plastic bottles. In various parts of the passage “Goodbye, Bottled Water?” it explains how plastic water bottles take years to biodegrade, leaking toxic additives into the ground water. My main reason for being against bottled water is because it hurts our…
