    Abstract:

Applications: 1. A vessel and a method for purifying water and monitoring quality of water are disclosed. The vessel comprises a housing for storing water, an opening for filling and emptying water from the housing, and a sorbent provided in the housing. 2. The sorbent is exposed to water for adsorption of the analytes onto the sorbent for removing chemical or biological analytes from water. Water free of analytes is emptied through the opening while retaining the sorbent in the housing. 3. Further, the vessel is filled with a solution to remove the analytes from the sorbent for recycling the vessel. Further, concentration of the analytes in the solution is analysed for monitoring quality of water.
Advantages: 1. The present disclosure relates to purifying water and monitoring quality of water. 2. The present disclosure relates to a vessel and related method for providing clean water and allowing widespread monitoring of analytes through analysis of purification adsorbent. 3. The present invention to provide a single device that can purify and monitor water contaminants and have applications in supply of trace contaminants such as arsenic and heavy metals, fluoride, etc. free water where simple, cost-effective solutions for their removal. 4. The present invention to provide a single device (vessel) that can facilitate water quality monitoring by creating the sampling technology that enable dry sample preservation of micro pollutants in water samples, and facilitate easy ambient-temperature shipping, storage, and rapid processing at centralized laboratories. 5. The present invention provides a vessel containing a sorbent capable of removing chemical or biological analytes from water.

THE VISION
THE MISSION
ABOUT I-STEM
It has always been the basic tenet of the Government of India, in generously funding R&D efforts at academic institutions over the years, that facilities established through such support be made available to those needing them and qualified to make use of them for their own research work

However, this was never easy or straightforward for, among other reasons, there was no ready source of information of what facility was available and where. Thanks to the Web, it is much easier today to have a national and regional “inventory of resources”, so as to match users with the resources they need, and to do all this in an efficient and transparent manner.

This can lead to a leap in R&D productivity and greatly enhance the effectiveness of public investment. This is the motivation behind I-STEM.
