Degradation of water quality due to heavy pollution in industrial area of Korba, Chhattisgarh

The  present  investigation were undertaken to study chemical & physical properties of Effluents  discharged from  korba  Industrial area. Industrial waste if discharged into surface water can give rise to significant deterioration in its quality. This paper presents groundwater quality of korba industrial area in korba City. Nine different locations were selected for the study and compared. The parameters studied were pH, total alkalinity, total hardness, turbidity, chloride, sulphate, fluoride, total dissolved solids and conductivity. From overall analysis, it was observed that there was a slight fluctuation in the physico-chemical parameters among the water samples studied. Comparison of the physico-chemical parameters of the water sample with WHO and ICMR limits showed that the Surface  water is highly contaminated and account for health hazards for human use

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
