Abstract

Water plays a vital role in shaping land and normalizing climatic characteristics. Their qualities are illustrated in accordance to physical, chemical and biological characteristics. Humans suffer many water borne diseases due to the use of contaminated water which has led to improvement in water quality. This project purpose is to purify domestic water that will meet the needs of the rural and urban areas for drinking, cleaning and flushing purposes. Purification of water is done by using activated carbon that is produced in one step activation from dry materials and sulphuric acid as activator. In this work, the activated carbon is prepared from locally available stems such as tamarind, thorn, Indian beech and yellow flame in order to increase the quality of water. The samples are from tap water and sullage water which is treated with various activated carbons. The purified tap water can be used cooking, bathing and even for drinking purposes; and the treated sullage water is used for cooking, bathing, flushing and cleaning purposes.
