Influence of dyeing and printing industrial effluent on physicochemical Characteristics of water – Case study on the printing cluster of Bagru, Jaipur (Rajas than), India

Abstract

In Rajasthan state printing and dyeing units represent an important economic sector.bagru in Jaipur district has got many printing and dyeing industry, in this industry Natural and vegetable dyes are mainly used for printing but some enterprises make use of synthetic dyes and mordants. So, the disposal of waste water effluents is a big problem in such industries. If the untreated water, directly disposed into open drains, the particulate may become the part of ground water due to seeping or it may directly used for crop cultivation. Dye house effluents are not only responsible for soil contamination but also responsible for water contamination. The present study is based on the determination of various physio chemical parameters of water due to direct disposal of untreated water in water sources in rainy season i.e. in the month of July, August and September 2013 and results are compared to textile effluent standards prescribed by Rajasthan state pollution control board.
