Analysis And Treatment Studies Of Agricultural Drainage Water
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Engineering Chemistry
Abstract
In this research, it was preferred to investigate the extent of environmental contamination by water from agricultural sites; the water sample was collected from drainage near paddy fields in Taw-ma village, Singaing Township, Mandalay Region. The sampling, analyzing and treatment process were carried out from 19 July to 5 November 2017 by using Standard analytical methods. Physicochemical properties of water sample such as pH, conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), total alkalinity, total hardness and organic pollutants parameters such as dissolved oxygen (DO), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) were analyzed. Determinations of ammonia-nitrogen, nitrate-nitrogen and total phosphate contents were also performed. Moreover, bacteriological examination of collected water sample was done. Some trace elements were screened by using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The treatment study was carried out by using adsorbents prepared from biomass waste material (Terminalia chebula Retz.). The effects of adsorbent dosage and contact time on removal of pollutants by adsorption method were investigated after treatment. The removal percent was also calculated. Finding results were compared with water quality standard values that prescribed by WHO and USEPA. The present study results may provide some information on water quality in the drainage of that agricultural environ and also may be a simple solution especially to reduce level of contamination occurred by that agricultural sites.
