ABSTRACT:

An attempt has been made in the present work to estimate the concentration of chloride and sulphate ions present in the textile effluent and to remove the chloride and sulphate ions by activated carbon obtained from Zea maize Linn. The activated carbon is processed and collected from the waste material and extensively studied using standard methods. Having established the characteristics of this activated carbon. It is subjected to the removal of chloride and sulphate ions form textile effluent. This process of removal of chloride and sulphate ions by the activated carbon derived from Zea Maize Linn is an economical and environmental friendly one.
