IDENTIFICATION OF THE PHYSICOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS AND TREATMENT OF THE WASTEWATER FROM SRIT HOSTEL

Increasing urbanization, industrialization and over population which causes increased pollution are the factors mainly responsible for adding hazardous components in water. Untreated domestic wastewater generally contains high levels of organic materials, numerous pathogenic microorganisms, as well as nutrients. The ultimate goal of wastewater management is the protection of the environment in a manner commensurate with public health and socioeconomic concern. Hence, the main objective of our study is to treat domestic wastewater in a cost effective method. The domestic wastewater for our study is collected from SRIT hostel. For our study we use the plant Phragmites australis for the removal of contaminants in the domestic wastewater. This plant Phragmites australis is a weed variety plant and it is locally known as nanal plant. The parameters analysed are pH, turbidity, dissolved solids, suspended solids, total solids, hardness, chemical oxygen demand and dissolved oxygen. From the observation and result it is clear that the reed Phragmites australisplays a significant role in removal of contaminants from wastewate
