Oxidation through aeration has been used for removing sulphide and COD in the tannery effluent. In the present study a comparison of normal aeration and oxygen injection in the presence and absence of catalyst MnSO4 were carried out. The three test setup were performed side by side and endured for a fixed duration till there was no further reduction observed in COD and Sulphide. Results showed that the maximum COD and Sulphide removal efficiencies in case of oxygen injection @ 0.5 LPM and addition of MnSO4 catalyst (5% of sulphide concentration) at pH 8.5. The removal of sulphide and COD through pure oxygen injection was found to be two times more effective than normal aeration. The removal efficiency of COD and Sulphide after 7 hours of oxygen injection @ 0.5 LPM with addition of catalyst MnSO4 was 82.68% and 76.83% respectively.}, keywords = {Aeration,COD,MnSO4 catalyst,Oxygen Injection Sulphide}, url = {https://ijer.ut.ac.ir/article_59681.html}, eprint = {https://ijer.ut.ac.ir/article_59681_a53fc587c3d3bcf760210fd3b48fed37.pdf} }
