Abstract

Water purification is needed to ensure safe drinking water. The main aim of this paper is to produce a clay ceramic water filter disk using clay, sawdust and Ag-Cu bimetallic nanoparticles synthesized using Tulsi leaf extract and to study critical parameters influencing the performance of disk produced. For the present study a laboratory scale unit was made with different ratios of clay and saw dust. Water collected from nearby lake was passed through the disk filter and filtered water through the disk filter was collected in the container. Physiochemical parameters of water before and after filtration were tested. Flow rate was calculated .For material analysis EDX of ceramic disk and bimetallic nanoparticles were performed. Water quality analysis results showed that the ceramic water filter disk was effective in removing microbes and turbidity to 88% .Flow rate was 575ml/hr was observed.
