Treatment of Textile Effluent by Activated Carbon as Adsorbent

Abstract

The Studies were performed using activated carbon as adsorbent and treatment of textile waste water which contains dissolved organic matter. Textile waste water contains a variety of textile dyes particles and chemicals which has a devastating effect on aquatic life in the environment and human health as well as it leads to loss of bio-diversity1 . The aim of the research project was to check out the DO, BOD, COD, TSS, TDS, pH of a given sample of textile waste water and treat with activated carbon as adsorbent for removal of dissolved organic matter.
