Abstract
In the present scenario, increasing population has put a tremendous pressure on various environmental sources. Water bodies are getting polluted due to industrial discharges leading to life threatening diseases and contaminations. In the present study, an attempt has been made to monitor the impact of various industrial waste discharges in River Rushikulya and its impact on phosphorus contamination in the available water sources. In this process, agro based waste materials are being taken as the base material to treat the contaminated water. An efficient and stable absorbent has been prepared using rice husk and Coir Pith based activated material for phosphorus removal. In this Context, various combinations of absorbents are prepared and subjected to testing for their physical, chemical and mechanical parameters including stability and recycling. The data revealed that by using an absorbent prepared with 60% rice husk and 40% Coir Pith, it is possible to remove 95% of the phosphate from the contaminated water sources.
