Determination of Heavy Metals in Sugar Industry Effluent
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Heavy metals such as Zinc, Nickel, copper, Manganese, cadmium, chromium Iron and lead, are major (heavy metal) pollutants in the environment, particularly in areas with anthropogenic activities and industrial activities. Heavy metal accumulation in soils is of great concern in agricultural production due to the adverse effects on food safety and crop growth. The amount of consumption of fresh water is equal to the amount of discharge of wastewater as effluent. In this aspect the present study pointed out the pollutants concentration in the sugar industry effluent maximum concentration of pollutants in the wastewater. As per the CPCB direction every industry should adopt the Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) in their industry premises to avoid discharge of effluent without treatment. In the present study the influent was analyzed of a sugar industry and revealed that the pollutant concentration was comparatively high. And it has been observed that high amounts of heavy metals such as Zn, Cu, and Pb whereas low levels of Ni, Mn, Cd, Cr and Fe according to the Indian Standards. Effluent contains nutrients as well as toxic components depending upon the source of production.
