Abstract | ||||
The present study deals with the evaluation of the organic pollution by determination of COD in the effluents discharged from Egyptian Sugar and Integrated Industries Company (ESIIC) into the River Nile without any treatment. Then, how we can treat the organic pollution? through the decrease in COD value by use (AC) Activated Carbon, H2O2, UV and UV/H2O2 effects. The obtained results revealed that the concentration value of COD 36294 mg/l in waste water of ESIIC. The efficiency of (AC), H2O2, UV exposure and UV/H2O2 are weak in the removal of organic pollution, however the COD values 34843, 33375, 33999 and 16000 mg/l after treatment. The recommended procedure for the removal of organic pollution using (AC) in the first step then UV/H2O2 in the second step however the COD value reached to 980 mg/l after treatment. | ||||
