Artemia effectively filters distillery wastewater, reducing solids and BOD. This study shows significant reductions in electrical conductivity, calcium, and potassium, with slight increases in sodium and pH.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Aquatic Biology
  • Wastewater Treatment

Background:

  • Distillery effluent poses environmental challenges due to high solids and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD).
  • Effective and sustainable treatment methods are crucial for managing industrial wastewater.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate Artemia as a biological filter for secondary treatment of distillery effluent.
  • To quantify the reduction in total solids and BOD achieved by Artemia treatment.
  • To analyze the impact of Artemia on key chemical parameters of the effluent.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing Artemia as a living filter in a saline medium (60 ppt) for distillery effluent treatment.
  • Conducting chemical analysis of the effluent before and after Artemia treatment.

  • Measuring total solids, BOD, electrical conductivity, pH, and ion concentrations (sodium, potassium, calcium).

    • Main Results:

    • Artemia treatment reduced total solids by up to 69% and BOD by 33.34%.
    • Significant decreases (P < 0.001) were observed in electrical conductivity, calcium, and potassium levels.
    • A notable increase in sodium concentration and pH was recorded post-treatment.

    Conclusions:

    • Artemia demonstrates potential as a cost-effective biological solution for distillery effluent treatment.
    • The use of Artemia can significantly improve effluent quality by reducing key pollutants.
    • Further research is warranted to optimize conditions and understand the ionic exchange mechanisms involved.
