Determination of physicochemical parameters of sugar mill effluents

A study on the determination of physicochemical parameters of sugar mills effluents has been carried out. in this scenario samples were taken from various parts of mills including mill house,process house,spray pond,compositive main drain colony and compositive main drain after lagoon. these samples were then subjected to analysis of some important physicochemical parameters such as ph,total dissolve solids (tds),total suspended solids (tss),biochemical oxygen demand (bod),chemical oxygen demand (cod) and oil and grease. the results of all the effluent samples show that values of all the parameters are above the range fixed by national environmental quality standards (neos).
