A Correlation Study on Physico-Chemical Characteristics of Dairy Wastewater
نویسنده
چکیده
The dairy industry has important to day-today in human life. Dairy industry involves processing of raw milk into products like milk, butter and cheese, etc., and generates 1 to 3 times the volume of milk produced. Knowledge on the physico-chemical characteristics of dairy wastewater is essential in the design, operation, collection and treatment as well as disposal facilities for the effective management of environmental quality. In this regard wastewater samples were collected from a dairy industry located in Thanjavur District, Tamilnadu and analyzed for various physico-chemical parameters. Most of the parameters exceed the permissible limits prescribed by the Central Pollution Control Board of India for discharging into surface waters. A correlation analysis has been carried out among various parameters. The analysis is terribly realistic in wastewater management as well as safe disposal strategies.

متن کاملBiochar can be used to capture essential nutrients from dairy wastewater and improve soil physico-chemical properties
Recently, the potential for biochar use to recapture excess nutrients from dairy wastewater has been a focus of a growing number of studies. It is suggested that biochar produced from locally available excess biomass can be important in reducing release of excess nutrient elements from agricultural runoff, improving soil productivity, and longterm carbon (C) sequestration. Here we present a rev...
