摘要：Turbidity imparts a enormous problem in water treatment. An attempt has been made to evaluate the effectiveness of locally available Orange peel and Channa powder as an adsorbent and nanocomposite for reduction of turbidity. The tests were carried out using the conventional jar test apparatus.The dosing of Orange peel and channa powder as an adsorbent and nanocomposite at various concentrations obtained the reduction of turbidity.The orange peel has the ability to remove turbidity levels up to 76% and Channa has the ability to remove turbidity levels up to 82%. Orange peel Nanocomposite has a turbidity content of up to 83% and Channa Nanocomposite has the ability to remove turbidity levels up to 92%.These results conclude that Nanocomposite was more effective compared to natural adsorbents.Utilisation of locally available natural adsorbents and nanocomposites was found to be suitable, easier, cost effective and environment friendly for water treatment.
