Researchers of IIT- ISM have derived adsorbents that may help removal of heavy metal from cow dung and those can be developed as Electrodes for energy storage devices.
The research team led by Brijesh Kumar Mishra, Associate Professor of Department of Environmental Engineering, assisted by Ganesh Chandra Nayak, Associate professor of Department of Chemistry and Dr Sonalika, research associate of Environmental Engineering department have worked on the project with dual objective of ensuring water decontamination as well as energy conservation.
The team are working on development of cow dung derived cost effective adsorbent to remove heavy metals from water and adsorbent later can also be used to develop an energy storage device. The research project which also fulfills the objective of Gobardhan Framework of Swachh Bharat…
