dc.descriptionIn this research it was found that the performance of chitosan to remove color, BOD and COD from the effluent is better thanmicroorganism. Furthermore, chitosan showed excellent results in terms of wastewater treatment time and amount to treat wastewater compared to microorganism. Though the chitosan treatment showed better results in this research but industrial application is needed to compare this method with microorganism treatment in the industrial scale as microorganism treatment is already utilized in this sector. Furthermore, additional research is also required to assess the performance of chitosan in TDS and Total Suspended Solid (TSS) removal from wastewater. The optimum dosage of chitosan is also a crucial fact as it may vary depending on the amount of wastewater and amount of charge in the wastewater. So, 0.2g optimum dosage amount which is found in this research may change based on the quality and quantity of wastewater. Another major concern regarding chitosan is the sources of chitosan. Without crab’s shell there are shrimp shell, fish husk and many other sources of chitosan. But the prime issue is the availability of sources as in our daily usage we are considering the natural sources of chitosan as wastes. So, in this regard public concern should be raised not to spoil these sources. It is suggested to the industrialist to collect these sources of chitosan and prepare a suitable mechanism in the industry to extract chitosan from these sources in large scale. It will add another remarkable step to achieve sustainability in the industry and will also help to protect the environment from pollution.en_US
dc.description.abstractWastewater generation and increasing cost of wastewater treatment methods are one of the major drawbacks of Textile Industries. Various chemicals are used in the Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) to remove Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and color from the wastewater and these chemicals require additional treatment before the wastewater is discharged from ETP. In this research the possibilities of using chitosan as a natural coagulant is investigated and it was found that chitosan was more effective than micro-organism to reduce BOD, COD and color from the wastewater. However, the amount of chitosan dosage plays an important role in this regard. The dosage rate was varied from 0.1-0.3 g and the best results were obtained at 0.2 g dosage. Flocculation process was applied for chitosan treatment followed by the aeration process that was used for microorganism treatment. The pH of the wastewater was maintained between 4-4.5 and at this level of Ph chitosan treatment method achieved highest BOD, COD and color removal efficiency. Compared to microorganism treatment chitosan treatment showed better results and required less time.en_US
