Correlation of Physico-Chemical Analysis of Ground Water of Manendragarh Area (Hasdeo basin), Chhattisgarh, India

Manendragarh city is developing rapidly due to coal fields since 6 decades. It is considered as one of big area of Korea District, Chhattisgarh, India. The present study was carried out with a view to have an understanding about the water status of Manendragarh area, particularly water quality in vicinity of some colliery. Environmental studies were carried out on ground and surface water to find out the physico-chemical parameters like pH, alkalinity, Total hardness,iron, chlorides, dissolved solid, calcium, nitrate, fluoride, sulphate and DO. Ten samples were collected from different sites, in order to evaluate the drinking water quality in and around this area. The analysis of various parameters using standard methods (APHA/NEERI) and their comparison with WHO standard values, suggested that most of the parameters were within permissible limit given by Bureau of Indian standards (BIS). Concentration of parameters beyond the limits in some stations could be reduced and could be an invaluable source for domestic purposes in the region. The present paper accounts water quality of various sites situated in Manendragarh area and their efficiencies respectively

Analysis of water quality using physico-chemical parameters in Charcha colliery, Korea district, Chhattisgarh, India

This study was aimed to estimate current status of physico-chemical characteristic of Charcha colliery, at Korea District, Chhattisgarh. Monthly variation  in  physico- chemical  parameters  such  as  water  temperature,  pH,  turbidity, total  dissolved solids, total hardness, chlorides, phosphate, nitrates, dissolved oxygen and biological oxygen demand were analyzed for a April-may month 2012.  The results indicated  that  physico-chemical  parameters  of  the  water  were within the permissible limits and can be used for domestic, irrigation and pisciculture

Investigation of some trace elements in Raipur Industrial area and its surrounding, Raipur District.

The paper deals with determination of eight trace metals namely. Copper, Iron, Mangnese, Zinc, Nickel,, Chromium  Lead and Mercury  in the ground water of different sites of Raipur Industrial area of Raipur district . All activities carried out on the ground surface have direct or indirect impact on the ground water whether associated with urban ,industrial or agricultural activities large scale concentrated source of pollutants, such as industrial discharges and sub surface injection of chemicals and hazardous are obvious source of ground water pollutants. This study was carryout in the month of during summer 2013. The samples were collected from seven different source of Raipur Industrial area of Raipur. The results obtained are compared with safe limits in ppm for heavy metals laid down by BIS, WHO, ICMR, APHA

An important role of coal and its calorific value on the performance of thermal power station: A case study

An investigation was undertaken to study the Physical and Chemical properties of coal in Korba district. Due to the Presence of lot of Coal mines, number of coal based thermal power stations are established in Korba district. So study has been carried out for assessment of coal quality, whether it is suitable for thermal power stations, by collectying sample from Gevra Coal mines. This paper presents Grade of the coal available in Korba district. Three different Coal samples were collected from  different areas of Gevra Coal mines  and analyzed for Proximate, Ultimate and  Calorific value as per Standard methods. The useful heat values (UHV) of three coal samples are 2482K.Cal/Kg, 2917K.Cal/Kg, and 2786K.Cal/Kg. From overall analysis, and according to UHV of coal samples  we can conclude that  the grade of Gevra Coal is” F”and is very much  useful for Coal based thermal power stations
