Therefore, it is very important to minimize the water pollution and utilize the treated waste water for domestic purpose. The principle objective of waste water treatment is to use the water for the domestic purpose without causing any damage to the human health and environment. The waste water from dyeing industries is treated by using agricultural waste such as Saccharum Officinarum leaves, Curcuma Longa leaves, CocosNucifera shell, Rice husk and Saw dust and compares the physical properties of this treated water with the distilled water and drinking water. The agro waste added as 10g, 20g and 30g to the 1000 ml wastewater and leaves it for a period of 1day, 3days, 5days, 7days and 9days and then tested. As a result, addition of 20g of CocosNucifera shell powder in 1000 ml waste water reduces pH and concentrations greatly than other agricultural waste used. Then the color of wastewater can be removed by using coconut shell ash within a period of 2 to 3 days. This study is conducted for the purpose of knowing how efficiently the wastewater could be treated and utilized for domestic purpose using low cost adsorbent such as agricultural waste.

General Among the various known form of pollution, water pollution is of great concern since water is the prime necessity of life and extremely essential for the survival of all living organisms. However, years of increased industrial, agricultural and domestic activities have resulted in the generation of large amount of wastewater containing a number of toxic pollutants, which are polluting the available fresh water continuously. With the realization that pollutants present in water adversely affect human and animals life, domestic and industrial activities, pollution control and management is now a high priority area. The availability of clean water for various activities is becoming the most challenging task for researchers and practitioners worldwide. Fig: 1.1 Dyeing Wastewater 1.2.

METHODOLGY: 3. MATERIALS 3.1. TREATMENT PROCESS 3.1.1. COLOUR REMOVAL The Dyeing wastewater collected from the industries is of initially violet colour. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the colour from wastewater before it undergoes treatment process. For colour removal, activated carbon of coconut shell ash is used and it is left for two to three days for settle down of particles. After two to three days, particles have been settled down along with coconut shell ash and the colour has been completely removed. 3.1.2. TREATMENT USING AGRICULTURAL WASTE 10g, 20g, 30g of each agricultural waste were added to the separate 1000ml beake containing wastewater. These samples after mixing with agricultural waste were left out for 3days, 5 days, 7 days and 9 days. After the treatment period of 3days, 5days, 7days and 9days, these samples were filtered using the filter paper and then tests has been carried out. Once the testing has been these samples were again treated with the coconut shell ash for removing the colour of wastewater. The agricultural wastes used for treatment were Curcuma Longa Leaves, SaccharumOfficinarum Leaves, CocosNucifera shell, Rice husk and Saw dust. Then the tested result should be compared with the physical characteristics of distilled water and drinking water. 3.2. PHYSICAL CHARACTERIZATION DETERMINATION OF VOLATILE AND FIXED SOLIDS The four numbers of cleaned and dried crucibles were weighed and 10 ml of samples were added. The crucibles were kept in a muffle furnace for 20 minutes. After the complete evaporation of water samples, the crucible can be cooled for sometimes and then weighed. 4.

CONCLUSION The study on the wastewater treatment is a promising work as there is always a need to overcome the problem of water pollution. As from the above results, Cocos Nucifera shell powder is one of the best agro waste among all other agro waste used which reduces the concentration of wastewater to a maximum of 480 mg/L with a addition of 20g of agro waste at the end of treatment period of 9 days. And also it is clear that increase in the addition of agro waste increases the concentration of wastewater. So that from the result it is concluded that the wastewater after undergoing a treatment period of 9 days with Cocos Nucifera shell powder of 20g can matches the properties of surface water from comparison analysis and hence this treated water is used for irrigation purposes. Environmental pollution and also helps in the efficient use of agricultural waste. REFERENCE [1] Abhishek Niranjan, Shweta Singh, Manjul Dhiman & S. K.
