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. Keywords: Acetylene, Biological Oxygen Demand, Carbon Nanotubes, Catalyst, Wastewater
