Abstract:
The need to control toxic materials from the effluents is currently increasing which may cause serious health problems like cancer and diseases. The present study was carried out to find the suitability of industrial effluents of different parts of India for irrigation purpose and to study the physicochemical characteristics. The samples of industrial discharge have been collected from various industries like pulp and paper mills from (Ballarsha, Maharashtra), paint industry (Bangalore), paper industry from (Sarapaka, Bhadrachalam), Diesel engine chemical soils (Warangal), card board (ookal). The collected effluent samples were preserved for further analysis to estimate the Physical Factors– Temperature, Colour, Turbidity, Odour; Chemical Factors – Alkalinity, pH, Total dissolved solids, Acidity; Organic Parameters – BOD, COD; and Inorganic Parameters –, Sulphates, Chlorides. In spite of using adequate treatment system, the industrial effluents were characterized by dark color, high levels of BOD, COD, TDS and significant concentration of phenols indicating significance of biological treatment system..
