About four-fifth of the total water supply, after going through various domestic and industrial applications revert to environment as contaminated water, making it unfit for re-use. But if treated and managed properly, a sizeable rate of this increasing demand can be dealt with, requiring most treatment plants to function optimally with proper physical and chemical mechanisms. Legally and ethically, wastewater must be treated before its exposure in the environment. The composition of wastewater varies as its’ sources, ranging from mildly polluted storm water runoff to toxic wastewater from chemical, pharmaceutical, and metal industries. Wastewater Management correlates with the purification of polluted water, making it re-usable for comprehensive applications. Pathogens, organic and inorganic matter, suspended solid, dissolved gases, toxic chemicals like pesticides, bio-solids, and many more unwanted substances interfere with water quality, changing its chemistry making treat...

Chemists around the world have shown considerable interest in various aspects of Silver Nano particles over the past few years and gained serious momentum in terms of various chemical activities, biocidal being one of them. Some of their observation says Silver has relatively wider range of biocidal (anti-bacterial and anti-fungal) pursuits than other metals. On the other hand, Hydrogen Peroxide is highly popular for its disinfecting property, reason being a strong oxidizing agent which helps in eliminating harmful microorganisms wherever used. It oxidizes the cell molecules, rupturing its whole structure and deactivating its ability to replicate. Since Hydrogen Peroxide is a strong oxidizing agent and silver shows excellent anti-microbial property, their chemical combination brings a lot to the table as a rapid yet effective disinfecting agent with limited or rather no toxicity.                 ...

Peracetic Acid serves as a colourless liquid with a strong, pungent acrid odour. It is having a low pH value of 2.8. It (C 2 H 4 O 3 ) is a mixture of acetic acid (CH 3 COOH) and   hydrogen   peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) in a watery solution. It can also be manufactured by oxidation  of acetaldehyde. Peracetic acid is usually developed in concentrations of 5-15%. When peracetic acid dissolves in water, it breaks down to hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid, which in turn disintegrates into water, carbon dioxide and oxygen . The degradation products of Peracetic Acid are non-toxic and get easily dissolved in water. It manifests as a very powerful oxidant; the oxidation potential surpasses that of chlorine and chlorine dioxide.   Peracetic acid is employed mainly in the food industry, where it is enforced as a disinfectant and as a  cleanser . It was also involved in the disinfection of recycled rinsing water for foodstuffs. It finds use in many applic...
