STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF COBALT DOPED TIO2 PREPARED BY SOLID STATE REACTION METHOD

Cobalt doped Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) were synthesized by a standard solid-state reaction method. The formation of the single-phase compound and its structural parameters were investigated by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) followed by refinement using Xpowder and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) techniques. A better agreement between the observed and calculated XRD patterns was obtained by performing the refinement with a structural model using the space group I 41/amd. SEM image shows a spherical uniform shape of the particles.

PRECONCENTRATION OF HEAVY MINERALS FROM BEACH AND DUNE SANDS BY USING ADVANCED AIR CYCLONE

This paper deals with the results of pre concentration studies to recover total heavy minerals from beach and dune sand samples collected from marine drive of Konark –Puri by using an advanced air cyclone in combination of Dry High Intensity Magnetic Separator (DHIMS). The sample contains 16.7% Total Heavy Minerals (THM) and 83.3% of light minerals. Out of 16.7% THM, pyriboles are about 0.32%.

YASMINE GOONERATNE'S A CHANGE OF SKIES: A STUDY IN DIASPORIC EXPERIENCE

APPRAISAL OF WATER AND SOIL QUALITY OF TAPI WITH REFERENCE TO HEAVY METAL SURAT, GUJARAT

In the present study heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Cd and Pb) were detected in water and soil taken from Tapi. Samples were collected monthly from three different stations for the periods of six months (July 2008 to Oct 2008).The present study is included the period before and after Ganpati visarjan. Heavy metals were determined using AAS according to Standard methods (APHA 2005).Concentration of heavy metals in water and soil was fluctuating with respect to temperature and pH.
