Investigation on the removal of contaminants from washing machine discharge using (clearing nut) - A potential purifying agent.

The objective of the present study is to develop eco-friendly purifying agents from natural materials, (SP) - a coagulant. The seeds of SP were used for wastewater treatment (washing machine effluent). Physico-chemical parameters like turbidity, total dissolved solids (TDS), electrical conductivity (EC), pH, calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and phosphate (PO) were tested and the data obtained were compared with BIS standards.
