dc.description.abstractThe samples of ceramic industry effluents were collected from main outlet of a local ceramic industry located at GT road Gujranwala . The main purpose of this work is to analyse and treat the ceramic wastewater using low cost techniques in order to make it less hazardous. Wheat straw, rice husk and animal charcoal were used in purification and treatment of sample wastewater. For detection of heavy metals, samples before treatment and after treatment were characterized by using UV-Visible spectroscopy. The analysis showed that sample before treatment contain a huge amount of hazardous materials such as TDS (2260 mg/L), TSS (3060 mg/L), electrical conductivity (1220 µS/cm), Fe2+ 1.6 (mg/L), Pb2+(10 mg/L), Zn2+ (8 mg/L) and having high COD(1156 mg/L), BOD(105 mg/L) value. This wastewater then treated with wheat straw, rice husk, charcoal and mixture but fruitful results were shown by animal charcoal such as TDS (576 mg/L), TSS (435 mg/L), electrical conductivity (215 µS/cm), COD (104 mg/L), BOD (51mg/L) and heavy metal concentration for Fe2+ (0.4 mg/L), Zn2+ (3.1 mg/L) and Pb2+ (4 mg/L).en_US
