Dr. Mrs. Jayalakshmi. I

Abstract: Wool fibers are hydrophilic in nature. There are variable contaminants in greasy wool and the same has to be removed in scouring. This study was focused on scouring of the selected wool fibres using a non - ionic detergent and studying its characteristics on Textile effluents for BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand), COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand), pH, TSS, Colour, Turbidity, Alkalinity, TDS, Oil and Grease. The results thus reveal substantial effective Scouring which are not harmful to the ecology.
