Treatment of industrial wastewater by using amberlite xad-1180 in a fluidized-bed reactor

Abstract

— The main objective of the work is to reduce COD levels of industrial effluents Using Amberlite XAD-1180 in a fluidization reactor. The experiment runs at the flowrates in the range 2 to 8 LPM. The parameters like flow-rate, time & dosage of XAD have been studied and their effect of COD reduction is analysed, for this experiment COD analysis was done for industrial wastewater which is taken from near by industry. The COD reduction increases with increasing flow rate and adsorbent dosage. The maximum percentage COD reduction is found to be 91.56 %. Maximum adsorption occurs at the flow rate of 8 LPM and with 20 gm of XAD adsorbent.
