Students develop Natural Clay Pot Filters to Purify water

A group of 3 students from M.Sc., Department of Chemistry, Manav Rachna University under the supervision of Dr. Prem Kishore Patnala, participated in INNOSKILL 2018 in the event SRIJAN- a project demonstration competition.

The project presented by the students was entitled as “Natural Clay Pot Filters using Natural Kitchen Waste as Adsorbents”. The team used natural adsorbents from kitchen waste such as vegetable and fruit peel, in different pots to purify waste water. The concept was well-admired by the visitors as it is an economical and simple way to produce cheap, potable and natural purified water; especially in rural areas. The concept is to purify bore water containing heavy metals and other impurities impacting health.
