A Comparative Study on Textile Effluent Treatment by using Aquatic Macrophytes & Artificial Growth of Bacteria

Ms. A. Kavitha

Abstract


Textile industries is one of the developing Industry. Conventional treatment cannot fulfil effluent treatment at lower cost. Constructed wetlands are gaining importance as an effective passive treatment and low-cost alternative for treatment of textile effluent. Such system has certain advantages over the conventional treatment systems they can be established in the same place as where the effluent is produced, they can be maintained by relatively untrained personnel, and they have relatively low energy requirements and low cost systems. This paper presents a thorough review of passive treatment of textile effluent which is collected from Textile Industry, ERODE. In this study, experiment is to be performed to remove BOD, COD, TDS, TSS, chloride, sulphate from the textile effluent in Constructed Wetland by using Aquatic Macrophytes& by artificial growth of bacteria. The species selected for the Constructed wetland Eichornia Crassipes, Typha Latifolia and Colocasia Esculenta. The percentage removal of pollutants for different species is to be studied. The project aims to compare the efficiency of pollutant removal by these two treatment methods.
