Abstract:-Our present studies investigate the adsorption process in dying waste water using natural additives. Dying industry water is creating the harmful effect on the living organisms and also affects the ground water and natural water bodies. For natural additives used in adsorption process rice husk, rice straw, sugarcane bagasse, saw dust, activated bentonite clay, activated date seed, activated tea dust, activated cotton breed, neem leaf powder, and maize were used. The adsorbent doses were given 0.1 to 2.5g per 200 ml sample was used for the effective adsorption process. The dying waste water was collected from all win Tex, jay Vishnu textile units and balakumaran dying units in tirupur district. The waste water was highly alkaline, high in suspended solids and color. The above materials were employed to achieve maximum removal efficiency of color, turbidity, sulphate, chloride, iron, COD and BOD. The optimum adsorbent dosages were determined from the orbital shaker. The results shows that among various adsorption process and bacteriological process were very cost effective when compared to the chemical and other treatment process.
