Abstract :
Heavy metals have been classified under
environmental pollutant category because of their toxic
effects on both environment and public health.
Consumption of plants which irrigated by untreated
wastewater or contaminated soils will have effects on
animals and human health on the long term. The
animals which were going to be slaughtered should
consume unpolluted plant and water. The negative
environmental impacts of heavy metals on water, air
and soil make the significance of this study. This
research paper aimed to determine the presence of
heavy metals in Al SahafaAbattoir effluents and
evaluation of the performance of existing aerobic plant
on the removal of the above mentioned dissolved metals.
Three composite samples were collected from different
sources Drinking water which being utilized for the hole
process, Process inlet and Process outlet. All samples
were collected, preserved and prepared following
APHA Standard methods. The studied parameters were
pH and temperature using Hanna HI99163, TDS
measured with Hanna HI98302, TSS Method APHA
2540-D, Turbidity using Method APHA 2130 and BOD5
using Method APHA 5210-B. Total coliform count test
carried out using Standard method SM 9222D.Other
tests for dissolved metals such as Ni, Fe, Cd, pb, Zn and
Cu were carried out using the below standard methods
APHA 3111 Flame atomic absorption
spectrometry.Results from the work carried out
reflected that there were no presences of heavy metals
in the drinking water. Process inlet found with high iron
12.1ppm and that may be due to blood was not
segregated from slaughtering process wastewater.Iron
was removed efficiently with the existing process
treatment however; the treated effluent did not meet the
discharge limits of bothKhartoum state 2008 and Local
order 1970 and hence it cannot be discharge as such to
river, surface water or public sewer.TDS, pH,
temperature and dissolved heavy metals meet the
discharge limits while TSS, Turbidity and BOD5 were
not. The existing treatment process plant needs some
modification to enhance the BOD removal efficiency.
The treated effluents generated from Al Sahafa
slaughterhouse meet the discharge limits in terms of
heavy metals removal while it needs process
modification to meet the discharge limits in terms of
BOD removal.Further studies to be carried out in order
to propose a cost effective treatment unit of AL
Sahafaslaughterhouse wastewater.
