Abstract
The waste water of sugar industry has been analyzed for various parameters including PH, Electrical conductivity, TDS, TSS, Hardness, BOD, COD, and heavy metals such as Zn, Pb and Fe. A very cheaper method has been devised for treatment of mentioned parameters which was based on rice husk, wheat straw and animal charcoal. The results obtained were very fruitful and Zn, Fe and Pb have been successfully removed up to 77.77% from the waste water of sugar industry. Adsorption of Pb, Zinc and iron by using three different inexpensive adsorbent having to be more preferable preferences for waste water management. Iron and Lead have been frequently estimated in higher numbers in sugar industry waste-water. Adsorption competences different as role of PH By using heavy metal's aqueous solution with animal charcoal, wheat straw, and rice husk adsorption isotherms have been investigated. Adsorption isotherms have been dependable along with Langmuir´s adsorption model. Here it were compared undertaken the adsorption effectiveness of animal charcoal, wheat straw, and rice husk. The consequence of PH, constituent part size also special adsorbent on the adsorption isotherm of animal charcoal, wheat straw, and rice husk were premeditated into batch system. In point of fact the percentage of removing Zn, Fe as well as lead reached highest to 75%, 56% and 77.77%, (Pb > Zn > Fe) correspondingly. The results shown by animal charcoal treatment in the reducing the wastes from effluents were better than other two treatments.
