Abstract: The wastewater from industries varies so greatly in both flow and proportional strength. Industrial wastewater may contain suspended, colloidal, minerals and organic solids. In a typical wastewater treatment flow sheet used by several industrial units in India primary treatment, Secondary treatment and Tertiary treatment are various stages of treatment. The use of Rice Husk as adsorbent for the removal of COD and oil & grease wastewater has been explored in a laboratory scale experiment. The Rice Husk used for the present work was treated with alkali to increase the adsorption properties.
