Description

Researchers at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) in Andhra Pradesh have devised a continuous reactor that uses a nano linked advanced oxidation technique to treat textile manufacturing wastewater. The student-led idea for clean water came in second place in the Andhra Pradesh Council of Science and Technology's Avishkaar-2022 "Student Innovation Contest" (APCOST).

According to NIT AP, the researchers are working toward the Swachha Bharat aim, and the scaled-up version of this study will provide a sustainable solution for removing pollutants from water systems and providing clean water.

Dr. VC Padmanaban, Assistant Professor, Department of Biotechnology, NIT Andhra Pradesh, and research students Gindi Neha Madhav, Sadhana Pitambar Patil, and Avanti Bhute collaborated on the study.

Prof Padmanaban explained the relevance of the research, saying, "The fundamental issue in the treatment of textile dye effluent is the presence of salts and high concentrations of colours, which interfere with the degradation process." It is advantageous to design a method that utilises the salts that are naturally present in wastewater. The team has devised an Advanced Oxidation Process that works well in high saline circumstances for the complete removal of textile dyes by keeping this as the strategic point."
