Agricultural Waste Materials as Potential Adsorbent for Treating Industrial Waste Water

Nowadays, the people suffer a lot due to water pollution and it becomes a serious problem. Therefore, it is very important to minimize the water pollution and utilize the treated waste water for domestic purpose. The principle objective of waste water treatment is to use the water for the domestic purpose without causing any damage to the human health and environment. The waste water from dyeing industries is treated by using agricultural waste such as Saccharum Officinarum leaves, Curcuma Longa leaves, CocosNucifera shell, Rice husk and Saw dust and compares the physical properties of this treated water with the distilled water and drinking water. The agro waste added as 10g, 20g and 30g to the 1000 ml wastewater and leaves it for a period of 1day, 3days, 5days, 7days and 9days and then tested. As a result, addition of 20g of CocosNucifera shell powder in 1000 ml waste water reduces pH and concentrations greatly than other agricultural waste used. Then the color of wastewater can be removed by using coconut shell ash within a period of 2 to 3 days. This study is conducted for the purpose of knowing how efficiently the wastewater could be treated and utilized for domestic purpose using low cost adsorbent such as agricultural waste. S.
