Treatment of Grey Water Generated from Hostels by Cost-Effective Adsorbents - A Case Study
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Wastewater Treatemnt
Abstract
Grey water recycle is a genuine measure for redeeming water on the local level and decreasing the load on wastewater treatment plant. Filtration with cost effective adsorbent media is used in this research to recycle grey water which can be efficiently used for irrigation. Fly ash available in surplus at thermal power plants nearby the study area was utilized as an adsorbent. The parameters such as Total Suspended Solids (TSS), TDS, COD, BOD, DO, Na, Total N, Total P and chlorides in the effluents before treatment are surpassing the tolerance limits. The characteristics of the treated effluent revealed that for many parameters there were more than 85% deductions from the original value of the grey water and for some parameters the reduction was very low.
