The document examines using natural adsorbents to reduce COD in a polluted river in India. It aims to minimize treatment costs by removing TSS and color. Literature discusses using sugarcane bagasse and natural materials for industrial wastewater treatment. The experiment uses materials like coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, carbon, and orange peel to treat wastewater from a river polluted by a soap factory. Testing shows the treatment removed 90% of color, 80% of COD and TS, making the water suitable for some industrial uses but not drinking.

2. OBJECTIVE OF STUDY
To examine the COD reduction in a selected polluted river
wastewater by using natural adsorbents, to minimize the
treatment cost.
To removes the TSS present in the waste water.
To check that it removes the color of trail sample.
3. LITERATURE REVIEW
In our laboratory the work is in progress to demonstrate the
management of solid textile mill sludge (STMS) by
vermicomposting.

Ver坦nica Flores Nardy Ribeiro (2010) A methodology involving
sugar cane bagasse bio-adsorbent was developed in order to
remove the carcinogenic congo red dye from aqueous medium.

investigated as potential industrial adsorption media.
4. MATERIAL USED
MATERIAL DEPTH SIZE USES
Coarse Aggregate 20 cm 20mm Filter for waste
water
Fine aggregate 20 cm 4.75mm Filter for waste
water
Carbon 20 cm 2.75mm
Remove dust
Orange peel 20 cm 0.75mm Remove the color
7. SAMPLE COLLECTED
The sample was collected from the Chandra river
located at Karaikal district in Puducherry.
The river was located near the Soap factory.
Hence the chemical may contaminated into the river
and polluted.
10. MERITS
Eco-friendly.
Materials are easily available.
It removes acidic dyes from industrial effluent.
Its a effective method for removing harmful wastes.
Activated carbon obtained from orange peel via acid
decomposition has been found to be an efficient
material for dye removal.
Low cost material for removing dyes effluent.
11. demerits
We cant implement it for large scale.
It takes much time to absorb the dyes.
Maximum removal is up to 87% of wastes.
Adsorption increases with increase in pH.
12. conclusion
90% of colour has been removed from the water sample.
80% of COD and TS has been removed from the water
sample.
So it is not suitable for drinking purpose but it will
used to unobjectionable industrial uses such as
cooling and non- potable domestically uses .
