TREATMENT OF RICE MILL EFFLUENTS FOR POLLUTION CONTROL

Abstract

Rice mills manufacturing parboiled rice are heavily concentrated in various districts of Chhattisgarh. The rice mill effluents carry high load of suspended and dissolved organic matters causing serious environmental pollution. Anaerobic digestion which produces biogas is one possible solution. Alternatively, a process of chemical dosing and treatment has been investigated and the experimental results presented. It is concluded that for small and medium rice mills this system is more economical, convenient and effective.
