Waste Turned Into Treasure: Young Scientists Of Bhagalpur Developed Magical Filter, Said Goodbye To Poisonous Water
Two young scientists from Bhagalpur have developed a nano water filter from egg shells. This technology makes water potable by removing dangerous elements like arsenic and fluoride. This low cost and electricity free filter is very useful for rural areas. It has also received a patent from the Government of India, providing an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution.
Samvad Sutra, Narayanpur (Bhagalpur). Dr. Abhay Kumar Aman and Ashutosh Kumar, residents of Balaha village of Narayanpur block of Navgachia area of ​​Bhagalpur, have developed this nano water filter. The special thing is that this filter works without electricity and it has also received a patent from the Government of India. These youth coming from rural background have achieved remarkable achievements in the field of science.
Effective filter prepared at low cost
Now technology made from waste will clean the water that has become poisonous. Two young scientists from Bhagalpur district have prepared a nano water filter from egg shells, which makes water safe and potable by absorbing dangerous elements like arsenic and fluoride. This technology is considered very useful in terms of low cost and rural use.
Absorbs dangerous elements rapidly
Nano material prepared from discarded egg shells rapidly absorbs toxic elements like arsenic, fluoride and lead present in water. Besides, it also deactivates harmful bacteria. This filter is cheaper and environment friendly as compared to expensive RO systems.
Nano material is prepared through scientific process
Under this technique, egg shells are first made into powder and mixed with herbal ingredients. After this, it is subjected to 'calcination' process at high temperature, due to which calcium carbonate is converted into nano calcium oxide. These nano particles play an important role in capturing the toxic elements present in water.
Ability to purify more water at lower cost
This nano filter is very economical. It costs about Rs 50 to make one kg of powder, which can purify about two thousand liters of water. For this reason, this technology can become a useful option for rural and economically weaker areas.
New identity gained through education and research
Dr. Abhay Kumar Aman is currently an Assistant Professor at Aryabhatta Knowledge University, Patna and is also the Director of Advanced Bio Nano Explore and Nanoscience Startup. Along with him, Ashutosh Kumar, who played an important role in this research, is a PhD researcher. Both are uncle and nephew and are busy developing useful solutions for the society.
Achieved a big achievement after leaving the village
Dr. Abhay's early education was from Narayanpur school. Despite limited resources, he achieved higher education and made his mark in the field of science. He believes that if this technology is implemented on a large scale, a cheap and effective solution can be found in arsenic and fluoride affected areas.
