Abstract

Effluent from distilleries, known as spent wash, leads to extensive soil and water pollution. Removal of pollutants and color from distillery effluent is becoming increasingly important from environmental and aesthetic point of view. Effluent from distilleries contains certain recalcitrant compounds. In the present work effort were made to reduce chemical oxygen demand (COD) from distillery effluent by electrocoagulation. The maximum COD removal efficiency of 98% was obtained at solution pH of 7.2 with a current density 17.9 mA/cm 2 for electrolysis duration of 3 h. Further
