To characterize distillery wastewater in detail
so that proper insight may be gained in an attempt to
treat the waste to reduce the pollution hazards. Oxygen
consumption values can use to quantify the amount of organic matter present in wastewater. However,
considerable work has been reported in this field and
should be taken into account with the characteristics
of distillery wastewater. Some of the work done on
distillery waste characterization by various
parameters like: - pH, COD, BOD, phosphate, total
solids, total dissolved solids, total suspended solid,
ammonia, sulfate, color and iron etc as in the Table
