ABSTRACT

This research is an attempt to analyze the water quality of the both treated and untreated effluent
from the battery production industry. In this investigation, physico-chemical parameters such as pH,
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Solids (TS), Total
Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Nitrate (N) and Phosphate (P) and heavy
metals such as Iron (Fe), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn) and Manganese (Mn) had been analyzed from the
effluent collected from the battery industry of Pudhukottai region. The physico-chemical parameter
and heavy metal concentration of treated effluent shows lesser concentration when compared with
untreated effluent.
Key words: Battery industry effluents, Physico-chemical parameter, Heavy metals
