| dc.description.abstract | The waste generated by metal finishers is rated as the most toxic and harmful to the environment. Metal finishing wastewater consists of heavy metals, cyanides, acids and alkalis. Formal treatment of waste generated has not been of primary importance to metal finishers. It would be ideal to develop a generic model to assist finishers to predict the effectiveness of wastewater treatment. The model must be able to predict effectiveness of treatment based on a variety of equipment, chemicals and concentrations. | en_US |
