Department of Geology, Utkal University, Bhubaneswar, Orissa, India 3University Department of Geology, Ranchi University, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Received April 24, 2011; revised June 10, 2011; accepted July 19, 2011 Abstract Representative coal samples were collected from different coal seams of the Chirimiri coalfield which cov- ered the entire stratigraphic sequence. These samples were tested for Chemical analysis, Crossing Point Temperature (CPT), Petrography, Infrared studies (IR) and Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA). All the test results vindicated that the aforesaid parameters had a definite relationship with the stratigraphic disposition or the ranks of coal. The low rank coals found as younger seams in the stratigraphic sequence were more prone to spontaneous combustion whereas the higher rank coals found at the bottom of stratigraphic se- quence were less prone to spontaneous combustion. Through combustibility characterisation by different tests, it was found that the upper Duman and Kaperti seams placed as younger seams in the stratigraphic se- quence are highly prone to spontaneous combustion whereas the lower Karakoh and Sonawani seams seem to be least prone to spontaneous combustion.

  • Evaluation of Water Quality by Physicochemical Parameters, Heavy Metal and Use of Metal Resistant Property of Bacteria for Bioremediation of Heavy Metals
    World Journal of Environmental Pollution 5 (2): 23-28, 2015 ISSN 2222-1360 © IDOSI Publications, 2015 DOI: 10.5829/idosi.wjep.2015.5.2.95305 Evaluation of Water Quality by Physicochemical Parameters, Heavy Metal and Use of Metal Resistant Property of Bacteria for Bioremediation of Heavy Metals 12Rajshree Singh and Shweta Sao 1Shri Agrasen Girls College, Korba, CG, India 2Dr. C.V. Raman University, Kota, Bilaspur, CG, India Abstract: Pollution of water is one of the major concerns for whole world. Heavy metals, toxic waste and various effluents from industrialization and anthropogenic sources causes pollution of river water. These pollutants have adverse effects on health of human and other living beings in terrestrial and aquatic environment and also affect the food chain. The present study was an attempt to evaluate the water quality of river Hasdeo at Sarvamangla Nagar, Korba (Chhattisgarh). Pollution level was measured by estimating the water quality parameters [physicochemical i.e. temperature, pH, DO, BOD, COD and Level of heavy metal pollutants]. Pollution of heavy metals were observed in following order [Fe>Pb>Cd>Zn]. In addition, the bacteriological analyses involved most abundant bacterial species tolerant to heavy metal pollution and isolation identification of these heavy metal resistant bacteria from the river water of Hasdeo. The bacteriological analyses showed the population density [in %] of most abundant metal resistant bacterial species were Pseudomonas sp. [38%], Bacillus sp. [27%], E. Coli [20%] and Enterobacter sp. [15%]., The results of the present investigation revealed that, the river Hasdeo water at Sarvamangla Nagar was highly contaminated with heavy metals and require suitable action for the removal of pollutant by using the these metal tolerant bacteria as bio-remediating heavy metal pollutant which are very harmful to human health and environment.

JOIN Us : https://targetupsc.in/ 8830115524 Environment. North East Cane and Bamboo Development Council (NECBDC) ● NECBDC was incorporated with the objective of organizing the hitherto untapped bamboo sector of North East India. ● Formerly known as ‘Cane and Bamboo Development Council’ (CBDC) ● Why in news? : The Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir will set up three Bamboo Clusters #Target_shots Addition National Bamboo Mission (NBM): ● Launched in April 2018. ● Aims to-increase area under bamboo cultivation and also adopting region based strategies to promote bamboo products. ● The NBM envisages promoting holistic growth of bamboo sector by adopting area-based, regionally differentiated strategy and to increase the area under bamboo cultivation and marketing. ● The NBM will be a sub-scheme of National Mission on Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA) under the umbrella scheme Krishonnati Yojana. Bamboo Flowering ● The ‘gregarious flowering of bamboo’ inside the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary (WWS) may pose a threat to wildlife in the Nilgiri biosphere. ● The bamboo groves in the Wayanad forest are the mainstay of herbivores in the Nilgiri biosphere during summer. ● The gregarious flowering may adversely affect migration of lower herbivores owing to the mass destruction of bamboo groves after the flowering. ● The farmers living near the sanctuary fear that the destruction of bamboo groves may worsen the increasing man-animal conflict. ● The bamboo flowering is considered a bad omen in several northeastern states of India, especially when accompanied by an increase in rodent population.
