Abstract

The textile sector is one prominent contributor to environmental pollution. Recalcitrant organic compounds are among the many pollutants found in textile wastewater, which is a substantial cause of pollution. This investigation examined the effectiveness of groundnut shell (Arachis hypogaea) as biochar, cocopeat (Cocos nucifera) husk, and drumstick tree (Moringa oleifera) seed powder in reducing recalcitrant organic compounds in textile effluent. In the study, synthetic textile wastewater was prepared. The results show that all three adsorbents were effective in reducing the concentrations of refractory organic compounds in the effluent. The quantity of Recalcitrant Organic Compounds was found to be 85.5 percent lower when using groundnut shell (Arachis hypogaea) as biochar, cocopeat (Cocos nucifera) husk, and drumstick tree (Moringa oleifera) seed powder separately. This study's conclusions have a big impact on the textile sector and environmental protection initiatives. More investigation is required to determine the ideal dosage and contact time for using natural adsorbents as well as to determine whether they are effective in treating other kinds of industrial effluent.
