Abstract

This paper presents the physico-chemical characteristics of sugar mill effluent. The parameters studied are colour, odour, pH (6.1), temperature (39°C), total dissolved solids (2653.1 mg/l), total suspended solids (401.3 mg/l), total solids (3054.4 mg/l), D.O (2.83 mg/l), BOD (86 mg/l), COD (325 mg/l), chloride (262.31 mg/l), and sulphate (641.52 mg/l). According to the limits suggested by Bureau of Indian Standards, almost all the parameters have been found to be very high and well above the permissible limits. This study revealed that the untreated wastewater discharged from the sugar industry is highly polluted and exceeds the prescribed limits for irrigation and public use.
