| Title | Objective(s) | Methodology | Conclusion/ Contribution made | Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Land disposal of coke oven effluent and its impact on soil and ground water quality | 1. To study coke plant effluent characteristics
and their impacts on surface water quality 2. To assess the land-discharge suitability of coke plant effluent and their possible use in irrigation |
1. Selection of Loyabad coke plant as the
study site 2. Column lysimeter tests of soil samples from around the study area using plant effluent at various dilution |
1. Effluents from coke plant can be used for
irrigation 2. Land disposal system, a low cost technology , has the potential for nutrient removal, there by enhancing the agricultural production |
Lysimeter test will give an appropriate idea how much land can be irrigated safely and under what application rate (dilution) it will have no adverse affect on soil quality and ground water quality. |
