The treated effluent water from paper industry has an alkaline pH, dissolved oxygen (DO) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and the observed values indicate that, it affects the aerobic respiration of organisms and hence not suitable for aqua-culture application. Residual sodium carbonate (RSC) values observed for the treated liquid effluent sample suggest its suitability for irrigation purposes.

Abstract


The treated effluent water from paper industry has an alkaline pH, dissolved oxygen (DO) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and the observed values indicate that, it affects the aerobic respiration of organisms and hence not suitable for aqua-culture application. Residual sodium carbonate (RSC) values observed for the treated liquid effluent sample suggest its suitability for irrigation purposes.
