UTILIZATION OF AGRICTURAL WASTE FOR TEXTILE WASTEWATER TREATMENT
Abstract
The textile industry generates large quantities of wastewater containing dyes and harmful chemicals that cause environmental pollution. This research investigates the use of agricultural wastes such as rice husk, coconut shell and groundnut shell as low-cost adsorbents for textile wastewater treatment. For the optimization of the process, the effects of these parameters such as, adsorbent dosage, concentration and contact time were investigated. According to these finding, it is proposed that rice husk and groundnut shell possess high potential for dye removal.
