INTRODUCTION
Lotus rust remover is about creating a rust remover from
water lilies. Water Lily can be defined as an aquatic plant
which grows in water with round, floating leaves and large
flowers. Water Lilies can be found in rivers, lakes and
ponds. The Water Lily has a total of 35 species that are
located in tropical regions of the world according to the
encyclopedia. Water lily is entitled as the most destructive
and damaging aquatic plant in the whole world because of
its capability of reproducing at an extraordinary rate.
Water Lily has severely infested the parts of the water due
to its rapid growth that may suffocate and may overflow
the bodies of water where the plant is located. This
project will help the environment remove excess water
lilies to prevent the overflow of water. At the same time,
we will get an alternative rust remover for different metals
like iron. This project will benefit everyone.
Rust is known as a reddish-brown flaky coat which is
commonly found in irons and steels. Rust may weaken iron
due to corrosion which breaks and makes a rusting metal
brittle and some parts of it will become pulverized. (
Lintoln. 2014). Rust can also be dangerous to everyone.
For example, a particular rusting iron nail was pierced
onto the human skin, rust is a bacteria that is very
dangerous to human health and it may cause tetanus.
The reason why the agency should fund the project is
because it has so many benefits that can help the
community. It will not just help the environment by
removing excess water lilies that cause overflow of water
but it will also help people have a low-cost rust remover to
remove dangerous rust.
RATIONALE
The Nymphaea Lotus also referred to as the Water Lily, is a type
of aquatic plant that develops in water and has huge, floating
leaves and flowers. Rivers, lakes, and ponds all have water lilies.
Because of its amazing capacity for reproduction, Nymphaea
lotus is known as the most damaging and destructive aquatic
plant in the entire world. Due to its rapid development, which
threatens to suffocate and/or overflow the bodies of water where
the plant is located, water lilies have badly contaminated areas of
the water in the Philippines. Concerning the excessive
proliferation of the Nymphaea Lotus, these issues also affect
fishing, irrigation, and marine transportation. The streams were
clogged by water lilies, which caused significant flooding.
Additionally, because there is a lack of oxygen in the water lily,
mosquitoes can easily reproduce here. The seemingly innocuous
water lily has emerged as the foremost adversary of biodiversity.
In contrast to being harmful to aquatic life, Nymphaea Lotus also
contains a lot of chemical nutrients. It is known as oxalate or
oxalic acid, and the bulb portion, which contains 8.76% of it, can
be used to make rust remover. (Gauche, 2012)
Since water and oxygen are available everywhere, rust rapidly
forms on the surface of iron and steel. This rust can cause the
metal to transform into another material or become significantly
weaker than the original metal. Everyone may be at risk from
rust. For instance, a certain rust-causing bacteria from an iron
nail that penetrated into a person's flesh could have led to
tetanus. According to some books, tetanus is a bacterial illness
brought on by the bacterium Clostridium tetani, which can cause
infections and may harm a person's neurological system.
Numerous research has shown that using locally available
organic plants will be more effective at eliminating rust from
irons and steels. Therefore, oxalic acid-containing water lily
extract will be utilized to remove rust from some types of metals.
Those who seek to remove rust would substantially benefit from
this. Additionally, it will decrease the issue of water lily
overgrowth. Moreover, the rust removers industry will be greatly
impacted by this product
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The grass pad aims to resolve the difficulty of people
removing rust, especially the rust removers in our
industry. This product is specially designed to remove rust
and other forms of corrosion from metal. It works by
reacting with the rust to dissolve it and prevent further
damage to your belongings
The company will start the project once the preparation
plan is finished and when all the materials and ingredients
are gathered. After gathering the needs, the promoter will
remove the bulb of the waterlily from its body since this is
the only part needed in making a rust remover. After that,
put the bulb into the mortar and pestle and pound the bulb
until the texture looks watery and pulverized. Place the
pounded waterlily bulbs into a thin clean piece of cheese
cloth and then squeeze the cloth until the extract comes
out. Then add the water and the lemon extract and mix
well. Then put them in a clean plastic container
The product will last for years if it is non-perishable and
by keeping it from spoiling. Instead, they can be stored at
room temperature, such as in a pantry or cabinet.
As a final point, the company looks forward to the
beneficiaries that the project made will provide the
satisfaction of the said participants. Moreover, in
fulfillment of the aims of this project, the organizer
assumes that the grass pad will lessen the problem of the
over-growth of water lilies. Furthermore, this project will
have a great impact on the industry of rust removal.
