Studies on contaminant transport of sugarcane effluent through porous soil medium

Abstract

Water pollution is a great threat for the diminishing rate of fresh water newlineavailability on the planet The principal sources of contaminants of water either newlinesurface or subsurface water are effluents from various industries like mining newlinepetroleum processing steel smelter plants pulp and paper textile agriculture newlineindustries etc The present study mainly deals with the analysis of various physicochemical characteristics of effluent from the sugarcane industry newlinephysicochemical characteristics of groundwater in and around sugar industry physicochemical characteristics of soil due to effluent of sugarcane industry effect of newlinemultiple contaminant migration on adsorption and diffusion processes on soil newlinemedium comparison of sorption coefficients by batch and column adsorption newlinestudies on virgin soil and comparison of results obtained from experimental newlinestudies and model analyses related to adsorption removal by a virgin soil newline newline
