Fly Ash as An Adsorbent for Treatment of Textile Waste Water
Keywords:
Textile effluent, fly ash, COD, waste waterAbstract
In present study, textile wastewater is analysed for its various characteristics. Fly ash is used as an adsorbent for the treatment textile of waste water for this purpose the batch process under the steady state conditions is used. The influence of adsorbent dose, pH of media is evaluated. A removal efficiency for COD and other parameters such as chloride, Hardness and TDS are studied. A COD removal efficiency of 60-65 % and colour reduction efficiency of 75- 80 % was achieved at 2 h of batch reaction under optimum dose of 3 g/ 100 mL of wastewater. Treatment of wastewater is one of the biggest problems faced by textile manufacturers. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the suitability of using fly ash as low-cost absorbent for treatment of textile effluent
