Abstract:
Distilleries play a key role as backbone industries, contributing significantly to Pakistan's national economy along with exports. As per practical experience, onetone molasses, which contains 48-50% fermentable sugar, produces approximately 240-270 liters of alcohol. During the production of every liter of alcohol, approximately 15-18 liters of wastewater are generated. The wastewater is a dark brown liquid with high chemical oxygen demand, biological oxygen demand, and organic material. Due to the release of highly toxic wastewater, distilleries are considered one of the most environmentally hazardous industries nowadays. It also reduces soil fertility by decreasing its alkalinity and manganese content. In this research work, we will investigate the efficient removal of color from spent wash by using several physicochemical, coagulation, and oxidation treatment methods with as-synthesized nanomaterial. The synthesized materials and color removal will be characterized by FE-SEM, XRD, XPS Spectroscopy, and UV Spectrophotometer. Different physicochemical parameters like BOD, DO, COD, pH, acidity, chloride content, and hardness will be determined by standard methods
