Review of Organic Pollutants in Wastewater along the Course of River Gwagwarwa and River RafinMalam in Kano State – Nigeria
Journal Title: Scholars Bulletin - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Abstract:Water samples of River Gwagwarwa and River RafinMalam were subjected to liquid-liquid extraction and analyzed for organic pollutants. The organic parameters were determined using the standard methods of America Public health Agency (APHA) and was extracted and analyzed using Gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS). Ten different organic compounds were detected at different percentage values at River Gwagwarwa while only seven different compounds were detected in River RafinMalam. The compounds fall within five classes of organic compounds, which include carboxylic acid, acid chloride, ester, aldehyde and acid anhydride. The distribution pattern of the organic pollutants at the two sampling stations depict the pattern; River Gwagwarwa> River RafinMalam. The study shows that organochlorine was the predominant organic pollutant present in River Gwagwarwa sample which is a hazardous pollutant while River RafinMalam has no toxic pollutant which is attributed to lack of activity of the River. Keywords:Wastewater, Pollutants, River, Kano.
