Treatment Technologies for Addressing the Removal of Industrial Effluents Affecting the Quality of Ganges River in Eastern Part of Uttar Pradesh, India

India has emerged as a hub for research and development and is ready for escalating to fourth industrial revolution. The fourth level revolves around fusion of technologies for elevating the upcoming manufacturing techniques. Industrialization has helped India to flourish and grow economically among the other developing countries. With all the advantages of increase in industries and production, there comes up the problem of increase in pollutants and contaminants that are discharged untreated. The various sectors of industries in India include textile, cement, mining, food processing, chemical, steel, and dairy. They produce a mixture of toxic and nontoxic pollutants that may or may not be persistent in nature. These pollutants are majorly carcinogenic or become one over their due course of time if not treated. The text focuses on treatment technologies of waste water in the eastern part of Uttar Pradesh, an industrial state in India, where most of the industries are by the side of Ganges River. These industries generate significant amount of waste most likely being chemical and synthetic dyes, heavy metals, and pesticides which are persistent pollutants. The treatment of effluent is essential to stabilize the BOD and COD and reduce presence of heavy metals in river water. The various treatment technologies are used individually or in combination to have effective retaliation and applicability.
