Abstract
In this present paper, low cost Environmental friendly agro adsorbents are used for the treatment of textile effluent. Current methods involve the application of various chemicals thus escalating the cost of treatment. Utilization of agricultural waste as low cost adsorbent has great significance in India where more than 200 million tons of agricultural residues are generated annually. Adsorption is the process which is inexpensive. A number of non-conventional low cost agro adsorbents such as neem leaves, banana peel, orange peel, garlic peel, jack fruit peel, prosopisjuliflora, calotropis gigantea latex, coconut coir, root of water hyacinth and banana pith juice are used in our project. Properly treated agricultural residues are used as adsorbents in our Project. Our Project main objective is to identify the low cost and adsorbent used for treating the textile effluent. By varying the adsorbent dosage and its contact time the optimal usage of the corresponding adsorbent were identified. The influent and the effluent were tested to identify the variation and changes in their physical as well as chemical properties. This paper will help the textile industry to treat their effluent more economical by using the low cost available adsorbents.
