Combating Plastic Waste Contamination in India
2023-03-15 10:00 - 12:30 | S209, Level 2, New Academic Block
Plastic pollution and contamination is an emerging crisis that has become a major contributor to environmental degradation. Strategic measures with maximum efficacy must be adopted to tackle this increasing challenge. The Department of Environmental Science and Engineering is organising a seminar titled the ‘Scenario of Emerging Pollutant – Microplastics in India: Abundance, Fate (stability, mobility, trophic transfer) and Eco-friendly Remediation’. The seminar will be held on March 15, 2023. Prof. Gopala Krishna Darbha, Associate Professor, IISER, Kolkata is the keynote speaker of the session. Prof. Darbha will deliver an insightful session on the excessive production of microplastics in India and how the staggering growth of plastic contamination will negatively influence our ecosystem.
Abstract
The global demand for plastics has been increasing continuously because plastics have now become a ubiquitous part of human life. The plastics are easily available at low cost and have the maximum durability properties due to which it is getting very difficult to derail the entire systems of plastics manufacturing and its use. In the last 50 years, it has been reported that the global production of plastic is 9.1 billion tons, while the annual rate of plastic production has been continuously increasing by 8.7 %. These plastics generate 274 million tonnes of plastic solid waste, globally. In India, approximately 9.4 million tonnes of plastic waste is generated per year, and 60 % of the plastic waste is recycled while the remaining is either landfilled or left unnoticed. Furthermore, the current outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic led to a sudden increase in the production of personal protective equipment (gloves and masks) which adds plastic waste to the terrestrial environment, and this can cause grievous plastic pollution soon. Microplastics (MPs) are plastic particles which are < 5 mm in diameter. These are estimated by various methods like salt-based density separation, physical (microscopy), and chemical characterisation (spectroscopy).
Join the session and learn to combat the microplastic crisis!

Green growth, an exceptional strategy advocating environmentally sustainable economic development, has received wider attention due to the prevailing crisis on climate change and environmental degradation. In this needful hour of cultivating green skills to adapt products, services and processes to combat climate change and the related environmental requirements, The Department of Environmental Sciences is organising a National Science Day Seminar on “Green Growth Technologies and Skills” on March 07, 2023. Prof. Seeram Ramakrishna, FREng, Everest Chair, Director-Center for Nanotechnology & Sustainability, National University of Singapore, will be the keynote speaker of the seminar.
Abstract
Countries pledged net-zero emissions by 2050. Businesses are aligning with the decarbonization of economies. There are three main routes to decarbonization. Energy efficiency is estimated to reduce emissions by 15-20%. Deploying decarbonised technologies across all sectors contributes to a 40-45% reduction in emissions. Up to 40% emissions reduction is envisaged by transitioning from the current linear economy to a more circular economy. The circular industrial economy reduces dependence on virgin resources and generates resources from the waste streams generated by consumerism. Green growth means greening existing industries and creating new green industries. The green growth pursuit augers well for humans and global environmental commons.
Join the session and gain constructive insights into Green growth technology and the Green economy!

A brief introduction to theories of learning in Mathematics Education
2023-03-01 00:00
Abstract: Soils, textiles, gels, and biological tissues are porous and very soft. In these materials, deformation and fluid flow are strongly coupled through rearrangements of the pore structure. The resulting flow fields, which are both heterogeneous and unsteady, can play a key role in the transport and mixing of solutes in practical problems such as groundwater contamination and tissue engineering. Here, we use a continuum model based on large-deformation poroelasticity to study the impact of periodic squeezing on solute transport and mixing in a soft porous medium. Transport occurs through advection, molecular diffusion, and hydrodynamic dispersion, each of which interacts differently with the deformation. We identify the key dimensionless control parameters, explore the resulting deformation and transport regimes.
