Abstract

The intensity of light dispersed by the water sample is used to calculate turbidity. The greater the intensity, the greater the turbidity. Turbidity describes the cloudiness of a solution. It shows the presence of TSS (Total Suspended Solids) such as clay, silt, and organic materials, which are both physiologically and chemically toxic to humans. They emit unpleasant tastes and odors. Disinfection of turbid water is not always practicable due to the adsorptive properties of colloidal solutions. Turbidity is the cloudiness of a solution and the features conferred by suspended solid particles that impede the passage of light through a water sample. Natural materials have been used for years to reduce turbidity in water samples, and the materials employed are safe and efficient, such as rice husk, ground-nut shells, and extremely fine sand (300 micron). This filter material can minimize turbidity as effectively as possible (more than 60 percent). The materials are known as bio-adsorbents, and they can eliminate turbidity from any type of water sample
