Studies on the Quality Parameters of Some Textile Effluents and the Removal of Dye and Metal Iron Using Some Natural BioAdsorbents

Enormous volumes of effluent are generated at different stages of textile manufacturing, as a result of the use of copious amounts of chemicals and dyes.In this study, the analysis of various quality parameters of some textile effluents and the removal of dye and metal iron from standard solutions using some natural bioadsorbents were studied.The parameters analyzed were dissolved oxygen, chemical oxygen demand, total solid, dissolved solid, pH, conductance, quantity of iron and dye etc.The values obtained for almost all these parameters were in the highly pollution extent.The efficiency of (a) Water hyacinth root-WHR, (b) Egg skull-ES, (c) Sugarcane fiber-SCF and (d) Coir (coconut fiber)-CF in the removal of iron from a standard solution were 95.6%, 50%, 63.5% and 60.7% respectively for each gram of these adsorbents.In case of dye, Orange ME2RL removal efficiency found 0%, 10.1%, 100%, 0% and Black B removal efficiency found 30.9%, 27%, 19.9%, 20.1% for each gram of water hyacinth root, egg skull, sugarcane fiber and coconut fiber (coir) respectively from their standard solutions.
