    As the world population is growing every year solid waste generation also increases. Every year around 1.2 billion tones of solid waste is generatedin which 60 to70% of waste is food waste which goes into landfill. The food waste contains high organic resource, which can utilize the for the generation of renewable energy sources. Biogas is one of the valuable energy resource which usually contains components like methane, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide which is harmful for environment. Anaerobic digestion is a method to produce biogas efficiently. In the absence of oxygen anaerobic digestion takes by the help of anaerobic bacteria. This research work was focused on the generation of biogas from kitchen waste generated in the AIKTC campus. Most of the waste collected from Engineering canteen which contains fresh food waste along vegetables and fruit peels. Kitchen (food) waste will be collected from two canteens of AIKTC as feedstock for the reactor which works as anaerobic digester system to produce biogas energy. The experiments were carried out in a two type of anaerobic digester with and without cowdunk. Parameters like pH and biogas production was measured. At an average 4300 ml of gas was generated in the tube in three days. In AIKTC, there are two canteens, and both having their own individual mess, where daily about 20 kg of kitchen waste is obtained which can be utilized for bioreactor. Both bioreactor study provided biogas however the generation rate is very good in the reactor with cow dunk. Keywords: Anaerobic Digestion, Biogas, Food Waste, Methane

    Solid waste management in AIKTC campus
    (AIKTC, 2018-05) Shabiimam, M A; Chawdhary, Ashfaque(12CE13); Bhabay, Nayab(13CE12); Khan, Zubair(13CE29)
    AIKTC, with a population of around 5 thousand people, is located in city New Panvel. Campus produces about 80 to 100 kg of solid waste per day. The aim of this study is to characterize the solid waste in Campus and suggest the suitable methods for disposal. This was achieved by calculating the quantity and composition of waste produced in Campus. Current requirements and challenges in relation to optimization of Campus collection and management system are also discussed. The study were conducted in various waste collection from at AIKTC, there were 8 bins in diploma, 3 bins in diploma canteen, 4 bins in pharmacy building, 2 bins in architecture building, 5 bins in engineering building, 5 bins in degree canteen and apart from this separate small bins were also provide in class rooms and faculty cabins. In this study every day waste generation monitored using weighing balance, the classification and characterization of solid waste also determined. Food waste of around 30 to 40 kg produce in both canteen which contains bread, rice, fruits, vegetables, meat etc, and produce 50 to 60 kg of dry waste which contains paper, plastic, aluminum foil etc, and also E waste of 0.5 kg produce during practical hour per day which contains wires, damaged electronic parts, diode resister etc. Better solid waste management can be achieved by students, staff and institutional involvement.

    Treatment of water using low cost natural materials
    (AIKTC, 2019-05) Shabiimam, M A; Poshekar, Anas [16DCES80]; Sakharkar, Shifa [16DCES82]; Shaikh, Sajid [14CES44]
    Water scarcity has been listed by the World Economic Forum as the largest global risk in terms of potential impact over the next decade. One-third of the global population live under conditions of severe water scarcity. Technically, there is a sufficient amount of freshwater on a global scale, for humanity to get by. However, due to unequal distribution and lack of accessibility, humanity is facing a water crisis. So, in order to avoid a water deficient future, it has become essential for every country all around the globe to take a step towards water conservation. Apart from water scarcity one major area of concern is water quality. Lack of clean drinking water has put billions of people’s health at risk Diseases like malaria, cholera, hepatitis A, typhoid fever and many other diseases are spread because of the consumption of contaminated water. That is why treatment of water before consumption is necessary. In view of all the above parameters, we are proposing a portable as well as affordable water filter which is ready to filter water on the go. The filter will consist of layers of different filtering media. These filtering materials are required to be natural and affordable. So the target of this project will be basically rural areas. Natural substitutes will be used as a filtering medium which are cheap in cost or which may be a by-product of any agricultural or manufacturing process. For example, coconut shells, rice husk, bagasse, sand and gravel. The filtration system will be of gravitational type and the backwashing process will be of pressure type. An optional pressure pump can be provided with the device to aid backwashing. As far as the disinfection of water is concerned, chlorination is by far the most suitable method of disinfecting water of pathogens. Provisions can be made to supply optimum dosage of chlorine and if residual chlorine is already present in water, then neutralizing it for drinking.

    Treatment of water using various adsorbents
    (AIKTC, 2019-05) Shabiimam, M A; Ansari, Md. Saaim [15CES10]; Maste, Noman [14CES26]; Mohammad, Abuzar [16DCES75]
    The earth contains only 3% of pure water, in this readily available fresh water content is very low. The rapid population growth creates more demand of fresh water for every day activity. To meet this demand, treatment of raw water as well as recycling of wastewater is necessary. Adsorption is one of the techniques which is used to treat the water in primary as well as tertiary condition according to treatment scheme. Nowadays portable filters available in the market mostly rely on activated carbon-based adsorption process. Conventional activated carbon is expensive , therefore introduction to new materials as naturally available can be more effective .Thereby ,while choosing the adsorbent with following criteria such as cost of the adsorbent , pH, reaction time are need to be given more emphasis . The study reviews on water treatment using various natural adsorbents like muringaolefera, tamarind seeds, and bentonite soil etc . It also discusses the various heavy metal pollutant removal like lead, arsenic and zinc etc using various natural adsorbent.

    Utilization of plastic and construction by manufacturing of paver and solid blocks
    (AIKTC, 2019-05) Shabiimam, M A; Ansari, Tajuddin [15CES11]; Chaurasia, Rahul [15CES14]; Khan, Hasan [15CES19]; Pandey, Abhishek [15CES32]
    Plastic waste is increasing everyday due urbanisation and population growth. In developing countries like India it is very difficult to handling and dispose of plastic waste and 70% of the plastic is discarded as waste. Due to improper solid waste management enormous amount of plastic is dumped into the landfill which is severe thread to environment and ground water. In other way large amount of plastic dumped into the ocean illegally. 13 million tonnes of plastic thrown into the ocean each year according to United Nation Environment Development Program (UNEDP) in 2050 there will be the more plastic in ocean then the Fish. Due to plastic pollution human health is affected like through disruption of various hormones mechanism and cancer. In India around 5.6 million tonnes per annum of plastic waste is generated which about 15,400 tonnes per day.In this review study discussing about utilization of plastic waste (polyethylene, High density polymer, polyethylene terephthalate) for making paver blocks and bricks.
