ANALYSIS OF PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF THE EFFLUENT SAMPLE IN AHMEDABAD, GUJARAT Authors: Singh PK , NAGORIA VS, PATEL K AND SURANA A
ABSTRACT
Depending on the dyes and processing chemicals used, different textile industrial effluents have
different physicochemical parameters. Sample of textile industrial effluent was collected from
Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The major pollution indicating physicochemical parameters like
Temperature, pH, turbidity, color, odour, EC, Chloride, Fluoride, Phosphate, Hardness, COD,
BOD, TDS AND TSS were determined using standard procedures. The results of the
physicochemical analysis show that most of the parameters in the effluent samples are higher
than the allowed limits. The BIS (Bureau of Indian Standard) water quality standards were
compared to the findings of this analysis. According to the study, several rural communities
that primarily rely on the receiving water bodies as their source of domestic water face a health
risk as a result of direct discharge of untreated textile effluents. The effluent cannot be
discharged directly into a water stream on the basis of the estimated characteristics and must
be treated using a suitable technology before it can be discharged.
