Textile industry is one of those industries that consume large amounts of water during the manufacturing process and also discharge great amounts of effluents with synthetic dyes to the environment causing public concern. Coloured wastewater damages the aesthetic nature of water and the photosynthetic activity of aquatic organisms. Dye removal process contains mainly of a combination of various techniques. The treatment of dyes in textile industrial wastewaters possess several problems as dyes are generally stable to light and oxidation and hence they cannot be treated by conventional methods of aerobic digestion. Adsorption process is being focused at a greater extent due to simple operation, effectiveness, and economical in removing dyes. This project deals with effectiveness of adsorption and coagulation on removal of colour of dye from textile waste water. Alum (Aluminum sulphate) is used as a coagulant to access feasibility and study the optimum values of coagulant dosage. This study is aimed at developing adsorbents from sugarcane bagasse and banana stem juice for removal of dye from textile wastewater. The adsorbent was developed and characterized and the adsorptive capability for the removal of dye was determined by optimizing the process parameters. The physical and chemical characterization of the effluent was carried out before and after the adsorption studies. Comparison of alum and low cost adsorbents and the graphical analysis of result are carried out. The adsorbents sugarcane bagasse and banana stem juice are used separately to treat water. Then combination of sugarcane bagasse and banana stem juice was used to treat the textile water. BOD and turbidity have high removal effiency of 91.73 and 91.3 percentage respectively.pH of banana stem juice have lowest removal efficiency of 1.11 percentage.The obtained result was compared.The combination of natural adsorbents gave better removal efficiency than other adsorbents. The sample with 12g sugarcane bagasse and 60ml banana stem juice was found to be optimum in reducing the parameters like turbidity, BOD,COD,TSS and pH The sugarcane bagasse was found to be a better adsorbent than Banana stem juice when used separately.Combination of natural adsorbents have better removal efficiency followed by sugarcane bagasse, banana stem juice and alum respectively.
