Development of a mathematical model for treatment of metal finishing wastewater

A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the academic requirements for the Degree of M-Tech in Chemical Engineering, Durban University of Technology Durban, 2008. / 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. / M
