The Influence of Helium And Cavitation on the Yeast Life Process

Purpose of the study is to іnvestigate the simultaneous effect of cavitation and helium on the viability of yeast of the genus Saccharomyces cerevisiae in water. To study the change in the number of cells during cavitation treatment of the water system in the gas atmosphere. Methods. Yeast of Saccharomyces cerevisiae type were used as test microorganisms. Freshly prepared distilled desaerated water was used for the research, to which yeast cells were introduced with a microbiological loop. The volume of the model medium was cooled in a glass reactor with tap water, the temperature of which corresponded to 298 ± 1 K. The total duration of the process was 2 hours. The cavitation source was an ultrasonic generator UZDN-2T with frequency of 22 kHz and power of 35 W. The test water was bubbled with gas throughout the process. The test gas was helium. The number of microorganisms per unit volume of test water was determined by the total number of colonies on the nutrient medium on Petri dishes and expressed in colony-forming units (CFU). Results. In the experimental part of the work the process of water treatment with the content of yeast cells under cavitation conditions with simultaneous supply of helium is proposed. The efficiency of water purification from yeast as a result of the combined action of helium/cavitation has been established. The value of the effective rate constant of microorganisms destruction according to the kinetic reaction equation of the first order is calculated. The viability of yeast under cavitation conditions and bubbling of helium through the water system has been studied. The proportion of destroyed cells during the two-hour action of yeast-contaminated water at different treatment regimes was calculated and compared. An active decrease in the number of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in the aqueous medium at the beginning of the process with the achievement of the proportion of destroyed cells (Dd) 40.48% after 30 min of combined He/cavitation action at the initial microbiological water contamination of 4.2 · 103 CFU/cm3. NMend = 100 CFU/cm3 after 90 minutes of water treatment, that corresponds to the water purification degree > 97%. The end result is almost pure water, which allows to discharge treated water into natural water. Conclusions. The obtained results indicate intensive cavitation purification of water from the studied microorganisms in the experimental conditions. The influence of the studied gas nature on the process of destruction of microbiological contaminants in water is described.

Investigation of Lead Removal from Drinking Water Using Different Sorbents

Lead is a heavy metal with strong toxic properties. This chemical element is found in wastewater and sometimes in drinking water. The article deals with the removal of lead(II) ions from polluted water using a sorption process to determine the most effective sorbent for the removal of lead(II) ions. Three sorbents were used in the research: clay, sapropel, and iron sludge. All three sorbents investigated reduce the concentration of lead(II) ions in water: clay efficiency was of 65.7–90 %, sapropel of 94.3–100 %, and iron sludge of 84.3–97 %, depending on sorbent type and contact duration. The research has shown that the most effective way to remove lead(II) ions from the test water is sapropel. Using different amounts of sapropel (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 g/dm3 and 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.8 g/dm3) and different duration of contact (30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 minutes), the concentration of lead(II) ions in the test water after purification did not exceed the permissible values for drinking water (10 μg/dm3), so that the lowest sapropel content of 0.1 g/dm3 can be used for sorption. Lead(II) ions are most effectively removed when contact time is 30 min.

Experimental investigation on strength properties of concrete using polypropylene pellets

The handmade tiles are manufactured in Athangudi, Sivagangai district. We observed that these tiles are reducing foot pain and appearing aesthetic look. But one disadvantage was that these Athangudi tiles were getting easily cracked. We studied that these tiles are getting cracks. Due to its lesser resistance. It shows some cracks on surface of tiles after setting and hardening process. In this project, we gave solution to rectify the problem for this purpose we adding the zirconium di oxide to cement paste at the time of manufacturing process. Because the zirconium di oxide possess high crack resistance property in these tiles. The field test (water penetration test), abrasion test, water absorption test and acid resistance test were conducted on Athangudi tiles with zirconium di oxide and without zirconium di oxide. Then the test result was compared between normal tiles and zirconium di oxide used tiles. Hence we conclude that zirconium di oxide used tiles are somewhat better than normal Athangudi tiles from the above result. We will conduct more tests and come with the conclusion that zirconium di oxide used tiles having better cracking resistance in future.
