| dc.description.abstract | Temperature, pH, conductivity, suspended solids (SS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonia-nitrogen, phenols, oils and grease chromium, zinc, lead and copper were monitored on discharges from industries in Kaduna. Attention was focussed on those that drain into Kaduna river. Results show that the following industries or group of industries give discharges with some parameters above permissible limits given by trade effluents standards. Superphosphage Fertilizer Co (Co (pH values below 3) Peugeout Industries (high metal values) Textile Industries (high values for all parameters except ammonia-nitrogen.) COD and SS are higher than permissible limits for all industries monitored especially in relationship to the different end uses of river water put to use. The present position of things in the discharge drains seems a nuisance if it should enter the Kaduna river unchecked. Ways of checking these pollutants have been discussed especially within these industries before discharges come out. Pretreatment of waste with physical means like filtration, chemical means like oxidation, acid base neutralisation and involvement of special equipment has been recommended. | en_US |
