Experimental investigations of physiochemical of waste water from Assalaya sugar factory, Sudan

Abstract EN

The object of this work was to study the Physiochemical of wastewater in the White Nile state.

The wastewater is one of the problematic situations in the state.

The White Nile state is considered the center of the sugar industry in Sudan, and includes the sugar factories of Assalaya, Kenana and White Nile.

This study was carried out during Jane, 2014 to Jane 2016 to determine the chemical contamination in wastewater of Assalaya sugar factory.

The study area was divided in to four locations A, B, C and D which wastewater samples were collected from them, and analyzed for determination the parameters TDS range 788 – 134 mg/l with average 442 mg/l, TSS range was 287.666 – 32.000 mg/l his average 286.166 and TS range 1084 – 170 mg/l his average 732 mg/l.

We observed some measured values were higher than recommended level of WHO but the average value of TS was higher than WHO acceptable value 700 mg/l.

The organic constituents BOD and COD determined by titrimetric analysis but TOC determined by TOC-UV.

700.

OR.

The BOD found in range 2101 – 12.67 mg/l and average 1157.67 mg/l, COD rage 2401.60 – 23.088 mg/l with average 1397 mg/l and TOC were found in range 253.63 – 10.58 mg/l his average 193.65.

The BOD values were higher than the recommended levels of WHO 770 mg/L.
