Treatment of
Industrial Effluents Using Electrochemical Method
A workshop on
Treatment of Industrial Effluents using ElectroChemical
method was organized on February 6, 2006 by department of Chemical
Engineering in association with
Industry-Institute Partnership Cell (IIPC) (Sponsored by AICTE,
New Delhi). There were 52 participants that comprises from
industry and academic institution for the workshop.
Prof. S.
Gopalakrishnan of Chemical Engineering
department welcomed the gathering. Dr. R. Saravanan, organizing
secretary for the workshop, emphasized the relevance of the
workshop in the present context with examples from industrial
scenario and gave an overview of the workshop. Dr. R. Prabhakar,
Principal CIT, Coimbatore, in his address stressed the importance
of the workshop and highlighted the various activities of the
institute during this golden jubilee year. Dr. K. Subramanian,
Coordinator- IIPC, in his address presented the various activities
of the IIP cell of CIT.
The lectures
were delivered by two senior s cientists from Central
Electrochemical Research Institute (CECRI), Karaikudi.Dr. C. Ahmed
Basha in his lecture discussed the environmental effects of
industrial effluents, the recent changes in the regulations of
industrial effluents, basics of electrochemistry, treatment of
organic effluents using electrochemical method and modelling of
electrochemical reactors. Dr. Basha presented some interesting
case studies on the electrochemical treatment of industrial
effluents. Dr. B. Ramesh Babu, in his
lecture discussed about various methods for the treatment of
industrial effluents and the feasibility of going for
electrochemical method to treat the effluent.
In the end a feed back was received from the
participants on the workshop. The certificates were distributed by
the resource persons to the participants. Prof.
A. Sivalingam of chemical engineering department presented the
vote of thanks.
