Removal of Impurities from Waste Water Using Biochar

– The need for sustainable and affordable water treatment methods arises because of  the growing contamination of water sources by industrial effluents, especially those that contain organic contaminants and synthetic dyes. In order to treat synthetic wastewater, this study investigates the utilization of biochar made from green coconut shell by slow pyrolysis and to replicate actual industrial effluent, the study concentrated on eliminating wastewater constituents such as methyl orange, methyl red, starch, and dairy waste. Further their ability to lower pH, turbidity, total solids (TS), total dissolved solids (TDS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), was evaluated for the prepared biochar. When analysied the results showed significant improvement in water quality. The study highlights the potential of coconut waste-derived biochar as an efficient, economical, and eco-friendly adsorbent for wastewater treatment applications.
