 RESOURCES TO BE USED
•SUGARCANE BAGASSE
•COCONUT HUSK
•SAW DUST
•RICE HUSK
•POTTERY CLAY
•ACTIVATED CARBON
•COPPER
 SUGARCANE BAGASSE

SUGARCANE IS TO BE USED IN DIFFERENT

STRUCTURES SO THAT IT COULD BE IN
MAXIMUM CONTACT AREA.
IT IS USED FOR THE REMOVAL OF MALACHITE
GREEN(MG) DYE FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS.
 COCONUT HUSK

THE MAIN AIM OF USING THIS RESOURCE IS THAT IT

WORKS WELL FOR THE FILTRATION OF WATER
CONTAMINATED SOLID PARTICLES PRESENTED IN THE
WATER IN RURAL AREAS.
THIS WORKS AS A MEMBRANE IF PLACED PROPERLY IN
A DEFINITE WAY.
 SAW DUST

SAW DUST IS TO BE MIX WITH THE POTTERY

CLAY SO THAT IT COULD GAIN SOME POROSITY.
CHEMICALLY MODIFIED PINE SAWDUST CAN BE
USED FOR REMOVING NITRATES AND METALS
FROM INDUSTRIAL AND MINING WASTEWATERS.
 POTTERY CLAY
OUR PURPOSE BEHIND USING THIS, AS WE WOULD
LIKE TO USE THIS CLAY AS A STORAGE TANK.
POTTERY VESSELS ARE WIDELY USED IN RURAL
AREAS TO STORE THE WATER, IT ALSO KEEPS THE
WATER COLD IN SUMMER SEASON , AND ADDS A
NEGLIGIBLE TASTE INTO WATER.
AS WATER PASSES THROUGH THE CERAMIC
CONTAINER (PICTURE A CLAY POT YOU WOULD
USE FOR A HOUSE PLANT), BACTERIA IS TRAPPED
AND THE CLEAN WATER IS ABLE TO FLOW
THROUGH THE PORES CREATED IN THE PROCESS
OF COOKING THE CONTAINERS IN A KILN. 
 ACTIVATED CARBON
ACTIVATED CARBON IS USED THE HARDNESS OF THE
WATER.
ACTIVATED CARBON IS ALSO CALLED ACTIVATED
CHARCOAL, IS A FORM OF CARBON PROCESSED TO
HAVE SMALL, LOW-VOLUME PORES THAT INCREASE
THE SURFACE AREA AVAILABLE FOR ADSORPTION
OR CHEMICAL REACTIONS.
 RICE HUSK

VARIOUS POLLUTANTS, SUCH AS DYES,

PHENOLS, ORGANIC COMPOUNDS,
PESTICIDES, INORGANIC ANIONS, AND HEAVY
METALS CAN BE REMOVED VERY EFFECTIVELY
WITH RICE HUSK AS AN ADSORBENT.
 COPPER
AS WE ALL KNOW THAT HAS THE ANTIOXIDANT
PROPERTIES, THAT’S THE REASON WE DECIDED TO
BE THIS THE PART OF OUR WATER PURIFICATION
SYSTEM.
IT CAN KILL ALL THE MICROORGANISMS, MOLDS,
FUNGI, ALGAE AND BACTERIA, PRESENT IN THE
WATER THAT COULD BE HARMFUL TO THE BODY AND
MAKE THE WATER PERFECTLY FIT FOR DRINKING.
