Sustainable Wastewater Treatment with Ultrasound Approach

Abstract

The change in environmental conditions are because of global warming, misuse of natural resources which further stresses on conservation of conventional sources and lead to optimize the usage of natural resources. The industrial effluent waste generated in the distillery analyser column is termed as Spent Wash is also listed amongst highest polluting industry. And therefore stringent norms against environmental protection also ask for recycling of industrial effluent. Traditionally, spentwash was treated with aerobic, anaerobic, incineration etc. processes. Recently AOPs gain a popularity in waste water treatment, such as photocatalysis, fenton process, ultrafiltration etc. in this article ultrasonication treatment was studied for the treatment of spentwash by varying parameters such as pH & concentration. It is found that this technique is efficient for the wastewater treatment.
