ABSTRACT
Contaminated wastewater can cause a major problem to environment. Because of
some regulatory requirement and industries towards sustainability some leading companies in the
chemical industries working in the removal of non-toxic and toxic chemicals to purify water.
Research in Nanotechnology has a immediate effect in early decades and offered many
approaches for waste water treatment. By using carbon-based nanomaterials, pollutants could be
removed more effectively from contaminated water as compared to common charcoal filters and
common effluent water treatment plant. These types of nanomaterials show better results in
effluent water treatment as compared with other materials. Moreover, the carbon-based
nanomaterials have play vital role in waste water treatment and a powerful tool to get rid of
different organic pollutants from water.
This Study involves analysis of hazardous substances that discharged into the
environment through wastewater during the manufacturing processes of chemical industries and
their treatment by using carbon nano materials. The synthesis of carbon nanotubes was carried
from the decomposition of Acetylene gas in presence of inert atmosphere of Nitrogen at 850oC over Iron catalyst. Details of the analysis can be presented through the comparison of different
parameters such as BOD, COD, DO parameters of effluent before and after carbon nano tubes
treated. These results may offer new opportunities to expanding nano applications in industry
and technology.
