Physico-Chemical Analysis of Textile Dye Wastewater

Sample of textile industry wastewater was collected. The results of this analysis are compared with the waastewater effluent standards of CPCB. In this analysis the various physicochemical parameters such as pH, colour, odour, temperature, alkalinity, chloride, total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solid (TSS), sulphate, phosphate, nitrate, Oil& grease, COD and BOD, were determined using standard procedures from CPCB guideline. Textile industry is one of the most important and rapidly developing industrial sector in Vijayapur city Karnataka. It has a high importance in terms of its productivity, since it consumes considerably high amounts of processed water and produces highly polluted discharge water in large amounts. Result shows that some physic-chemical parameters are within permissible limit & some parameters are higher than permissible limit, so that a proper treatment is needed before discharge to avoid environmental problems.
