DOI: 10.1016/j.jclepro.2018.11.011
Abstract: Abstract Remnant obtained from chemical retting of coconut fibre was found to have an exorbitant COD, BOD, TDS, sulphide content having blackish brown colour. Traditional (physico-chemical) treatment could not reduce its COD, TDS, colour substantially.… read more here.
