Abstract

Effluents from the tannery industry have been a major source of environmental pollution. There is a need to evaluate the performance of wastewater treatment plant against regulatory standards. If in compliance found with standard, Employing appropriate treatment technique to meet the permissible discharge is important. In this reaction, performance evaluation of Tannery Wastewater and Treatment by coagulation technique of wastewater was investigated. Chemical oxygen demand (COD), Dissolved oxygen (DO), Total dissolved solids (TDS), Total suspended solids (TSS), chromium III and VI were the parameters selected to characterize the tannery waste water. From the characterization result of the factory effluent treatment plant it was found that; the factory effluent treatment plant meets the permissible discharge value in DO, Chromium III and VI. However, COD, TDS and TSS are far from the standards. Calcium polysulfide (CaSx) and ferrous sulphate (Fe(SO)₄) were the chemicals used for coagulation purpose. Treatment of 500ml original tannery waste with 400mg iron sulphate and variable calcium polysulfide concentrations (one, two and four v/v %) was conducted and characterized. From characterization result, 400mg iron sulphate and 20ml of calcium polysulfide treatment yields water that full fill the standard of discharge limit except for COD. In addition, at this treatment the best closer value of COD (1340mg/l) to the standard value (250mg/l) was found.
