Water quality ought to be such that it can be used by persons for drinking purpose. There are already plenty of solar units present in the market that can do reclamation process, as the available desalinization solar units clean the water safe to drink In desalination process the removal of salt and other minerals from the water is carried out to make it suitable for human consumption and industrial use. Reverse Osmosis (RO) is the one and only one regularly used domestic filtration system that removes even all the impurities. RO is required if the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) exceeds a certain value. The main objective of this project is to use the sun as source of energy through solar desalinization technique which cleans water for drinking purpose and installed three or four desalinization solar units at village level that operates on solar power. This study showed that 88 liters saline water provided the maximum drinkable water at the adjustment@6 liters/hr/panel at Arid Zone Research Institute, UmerKot. The performance of desalinization solar units installed at Goth Nawab Ji Dhani (Umerkot) using brackish water having 14.45 dSm salts removed the toxic salts through solar desalinization technique and reduced it to 0.15 dSm. Water having so minute salts is fit for drinking purpose. This system creates awareness to the local communities.","PeriodicalId":13721,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Research in Chemical Science","volume":"65 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88988622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a nutritiously balanced food containing almost all the nutrients present in milk but in a more assimilable form. It is obtained by lactic acid fermentation of milk through the action of Streptococcus thermophilus and lactobacillus bulgaricus (Adolfessonet al., 2004). It is more nutritious than many other fermented milk products because it contains a high level of milk solids in addition to nutrients developed during the fermentation process and its sensory attributes have a large effect on consumer acceptability (Sant – eve et al., 2008). Yoghurt whether produced from raw milk or fabricated milk, still has similar physical, chemical, sensory and microbiological properties. These properties are essential and must be preserved during storage. The chemical composition and microbiological quality of yoghurt has been reported by several workers Saint – eveet al., 2008; Yagygin and Kinc 1980; Dayisoylu, 1993; McGregor and white, 1986. Yoghurt is one of the oldest fermented milk products known. Fermentation of milk involves the action microorganisms, principally the lactic acid bacteria. These microorganisms sour the milk by converting the milk sugar lactose to lactic acid (Kagan, 1985). Yoghurt gels are built of dusters of aggregated case in particles formed as a result of gradual fermentation of lactose by lactic acid bacteria (Horine, 1999, 2003).","PeriodicalId":13721,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Research in Chemical Science","volume":"16 1","pages":"17-22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88189565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The solid waste, if biodegradable can be treated satisfactorily by using various aerobic and anaerobic methods [1-4]. Also methods like digestion, composting, vermicomposting and anaerobic digestion are used for solid waste according to the composition of the waste and the requirement [5]. The waste from electronic industry can be reused and recycled. Plastic waste is one form of the solid waste which is increasingly becoming cause of concern. The reuse and recycling of the plastic is best option. Plastic can also be used in road construction [6-10]. The current paper focuses on specific plastic waste, plastic bags. A plastic bag, polybag, or pouch is a type of container made of thin, flexible, plastic film, nonwoven fabric, or plastic textile. Plastic bags are used for containing and transporting goods such as foods, produce, powders, ice, magazines, chemicals, and waste. It is a common form of packaging. It is most popular packing material. The environmental problems due to plastic are very serious. The no biodegradable nature of the plastic material is major concern. They clog water drainage. The irresponsible disposal of the plastic bags is considered one of the reasons for calamities like flooding.","PeriodicalId":13721,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Research in Chemical Science","volume":"23 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88043295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
