    • ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]ABSTACT This work is an experiment of the treatment of coal and brewery wastewater using coagulation-flocculation and adsorption techniques. Jar test method was applied as the coagulation-flocculation technique while batch adsorption method was implemented as the adsorption technique. The coagulants used were Alum and Mucuna pruriens (MUC). These were varied in terms of dosages, pH, time and was experimented on brewery effluent. The adsorbent used was the seed shell of pumpkin seeds. The adsorbent used was the seed shell of pumpkin seeds. The adsorbent was activated and divided into two; pumpk ...

      CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY Materials play a major role also in lowering pollution and contamination of the environment. For this reason there are intensive research activities in the areas of lowering toxicity of exhausts, confinement of contamination and recycling of materials of many kinds- including water. Effluent disposal is a major problem around the world. Growing along with the population growth, industries create environmental problems and health hazard for the population. Hence, environmental concerns and progressive depletion of raw material resources b ... Continue Reading

         

      CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 8 ]These are broadly divided as anionic, cationic and non- ionic categories (Brostow et al, 2009). 1). Non-ionic polyelctrolytes : These include polyacrylamide (PAM) and poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO). 2). Cationic polyelectrolytes: These are derived by introducing quaternary ammonium groups onto the polymer backbone and phosphonium groups are used to a limiting extent (Brostow et al, 2009). The most commonly used cationic polyelectrolytes are poly(diallyl dimethylammoniun chloride) (poly DADMAC). 3). Anionic Polyelectrolytes: Here, mainly two types of polymers are used: a).Polymers containing carbo ... Continue Reading

         

      CHAPTER THREE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]Freundlich Isotherm model is expressed as:qe = KCe1/n…….. (3.6)In linear form. It is written asIn qe = ln k + 1 In Ce …. (3.7)nWhereQe = amount of adsorbate (TSP) adsorbed per unit weight of adsorbent,mg/g.Ce =Equilibrium concentration of the adsorbate, mg/lIn k= a measure of adsorbent capacity1/n = Sorption intensityK and n are calculated from the intercept and slope of the plot of ln qe versus ln Ce respectively (Nath et al, 2006). The value 1/n indicates how favourable the adsorption will be and how strong the bond is between the adsorbate and adsorbent (Kushwaha et al, 20 ... Continue Reading

         

      CHAPTER FOUR - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]CHAPTER FOUR 4.0 EQUIPMENT AND METHOD 4.1 EFFLUENT SAMPLE COLLECTION 4.1.1 BREWERY EFFLUENT COLLECTION Brewery effluent sample was collected from Nigeria Brewery in Enugu using a 25 liters Jerrican in July, 2009. The jerrican was filled to the brim with the brewery effluent in order to expel entrapped air within the jerrican. It was then corked and was left sealed until the commencement of the analysis (wright et al,1993). Preservatives were added before corking as required by the test method (APHA and AWWA, 1985) in order to avoid microbial action leading to chemical changes in the sample for ... Continue Reading
