Electroplating waste with very high concentration of metals and COD has always been posing a great challenge for treatment in an environmental-friendly way. The present study attempts at use of constructed wetland in treating electroplating waste. Three types of wetland setups were used in the study, namely: single wetland cell, two-wetland cells in cascade and single wetland cell with adsorbent bed for varying hydraulic detention times (2 days, 4 days and 6 days) in batch mode. The percentage removal of all metals was found to be more than 80%. The effect of varying detention time was not found to improve the removal efficiency in all the three cells varying modes of treatment, thus indicating 2 days to be optimum detention time. The mode of set-up of the wetland cells (i.e., with cascading and with augmented adsorbents) was not found to be statistically significant compared to treatment using single-isolated wetland cell unit, based on ANOVA test for two-factors, i.e., chemical speciation and wetland cell-setup types.Keywords

The ancient Thanjavur population located in delta of River Cauvery had been dependent on surface water for drinking until recently, wherein there is an incremental rise in augmented bore-well water supply. Incidentally, there have been observations of moderate to high scale formations by the groundwater during domestic heating, as well as consistently high record of kidney-stone (mostly calcium oxalates) occurrence in the city and its suburbs. The present work focuses on calcium content, its desirability level and the corrosion/scaling coefficients. One hundred two (102) samples were collected prior to monsoon season in the year 2008 from the study area for study of various physico-chemical parameters. In order to estimate scalability and corrosivity, two standard indices (namely Langelier Saturation Index and Ryznar Saturation Index) were used. GIS has been used to develop integrated maps for demarcating zones of different calcium concentrations in groundwater and its relation with scale and corrosion formation tendencies.Keywords
