Effect of Treated and Untreated Textile Effluent on the Strength, Plasticity and pH characteristics of Kaolinite Clay
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Both solid and liquid wastes are increasingly getting mixed up with soils leading to a change in soil environment. These in turn changes the geotechnical properties of soil. Among the liquid and solid wastes, liquid wastes create more problems and occur most abundtantly. The change in soil properties caused by these wastes in liquid form can affect the stability of foundation thereby affects the safety of human beings. Owing to these facts a greater focus must be given to understand the modification of soil properties due to chemical contamination. Textile industry is one of the growing industries in India. The effluent released by the industry is increasing day by day. The effluent can cause either improvement or deterioration to the soil properties. If the variations in soil properties after the addition of the effluent are positive in nature then the effluent can be added or disposed to that soil, but if the result is reverse the effluent must be treated. In this study, the effect of textile effluent on the geotechnical properties of Kaolinite soil is studied. Textile effluent is added in 25, 50, 75 and 100% to the soil. Since it causes deterioration in soil properties, treated effluent is used. Both primary and secondary treatments were opted in this study. Lime and alum is used in primary treatment. In secondary treatment, alum treated effluent is let into the Reed Bed system. The Strength, Plasticity and pH behaviour of the soil by the addition of treated and untreated effluent was also noted.
