The purification of wastewater on a small scale by using plants and sand filter

Abstract The canteen and laboratory of every academic organization need a lot clean water, it generates equivalent amount wastewater hour which is neither purified nor reused. Due to water scarcity, the recycling reusing become very essential. present study describes simple cost-effective method for design small-scale treatment plant purification generated by household, an institute. current explored process phytoremediation Typha latifolia L. Canna indica removal metal ions phosphate from wastewater. partially treated after was further sand filtration. various quality parameters (pH, hardness, dissolved oxygen, chemical oxygen demand, turbidity, total solids ions) untreated were analyzed. It observed that there are significant reduction in turbidity demand increase value. can be reused household works agriculture.
