Adsorption, adsorbent, COD reductionAbstract
In present study deals with an attempt is made to study the feasibility of natural adsorbent like Cashew Nut Shell, Date Seeds, Orange Peel and Coir pith on the reduction of COD of textile waste water.The sample textile waste water was collected from the textile industry located at Salem. The collected waste water was kept as stock solution and the sample used for the studies was prepared by diluting the stock solution for avoiding fault results.Four different natural adsorbents are selected based on the literature reviewed in the previous chapter.Cashew nut Shell, Date seeds, Orange peel and the Coir Pith are selected as natural adsorbent for this present study. Batch studies were carried out with the selected adsorbents of cashew nut shell, date seed, coir pith and orange peel to analyze the COD reduction of each adsorbent, to determine the effective adsorbent out of the selected four adsorbents and to optimize the parameter affects the adsorption process.The performance of the four selected adsorbent of Cashew nut shell, date Seed, Coir Pith and the Orange Peel was evaluated in terms of the COD reduction after specified contact time in this studies.Then batch studies to determine effective adsorbent was carried by the initial concentration of the COD of the textile waste water is kept same as initial concentration of the dye. 10 g of each adsorbent was added to the conical flask. After 20 minutes contact time the supernatant liquid from each conical flask was collected through syringes in the time interval of 10 minutes. The collected sample was analysed for the COD concentration using standard procedure.The highest Percentage removal shown by Date seed was 67%, the highest Percentage removal shown by Cashew nut Shell was 45%,the highest Percentage removal shown by Coir Pith was 33%, and the highest Percentage removal shown by Orange Peel was 23%. From the graph plotted above it is clear the date seed shows highest percentage of COD removal followed Cashew nut shell. Lowest COD reduction was shown by the Orange Peel adsorbent. So Date seed can be used as an effective adsorbent for the reduction of COD in the treatment of textile waste water
