Abstract :

Textile industries are large industrial consumers of waters as well as producers of wastewater effluents. In this study the physico chemical parameters such as Colour, Odour, Temperature (T0), Total dissolved solids (TDS), Electrical conductivity (EC), pH, Biological oxygen dement (BOD), Chemical oxygen dement (COD), Phosphate, Nitrite, Iron, Silicate, Hydrogen sulphide, Residual Chlorine, Carbonate, Sulphate, Chromium, Lead and Cadmium of the untreated textile industry effluents randomly collected from Tirupur city of Tamilnadu were analyzed. The physicochemical analysis of the effluents of all the samples indicates that all the samples were highly polluted and having the values higher than the permissible limits. Remedial measures were recommended for the treatment of these effluents.
