Heavy Metal Analysis by Spectrophotometric Equation

Abstract

Textile Industry is one of the most significant and biggest industrial sectors known. In terms of environmental impact it exhibit very important role, since it consumes huge quantity of textile industrial processed water and generates vastly polluted discharge water. This industry utilizes high volume of water throughout its operation, from the washing of fibers to bleaching, mercerizing, dyeing, printing and washing of finished products and releases waste water in the nearby water reservoirs which makes the water harmful to aquatic organisms and plants. Therefore this study is carried out to find the concentration of Titanium metal in effluent water and for that the samples were collected from textile dyeing industries of Bhiwandi city, District Thane, State Maharashtra, and analysed for amount of Titanium metal present in the effluent water by spectrophotometric method and equation. The level of this metal obtained by present experimental work is less than the standard value. It was therefore concluded that textile effluents are safe with regards to Titanium metal pollution.
