Abstract:- Environmental Impact Assessment is an assessment of the possible impact positive or negative that a proposed project may have on the natural environment. Large quantities of those industrial particles are dispersed into the surroundings due to tire wear. Waste water effluents from the tire enterprise are considered the important resources, which pollute the surroundings. Innovative approaches for treating business wastewater containing heavy metals. Frequently contain technology for discount of toxicity with the intention to meet technology-based remedy requirements. To explore most adsorption efficiency in the direction of Removal of normally occurring heavy metals from waste water with the aid of using numerous adsorbents.

  1. INTRODUCTION

    Uncontrolled burning of waste tires poses a critical public health and an environmental change. Since a large range of decomposition products may be given off from the out of control, open waste tire fires, its impact on soil, water and air is a major challenge.

    Heavy metals are metallic, clearly going on compounds which have a totally excessive density as compared to other metals as minimum five instances the density of the water. To small doses could have severe effects they enter our bodies through food, drinking water and air.

    Adsorption is a surface phenomenon, while absorption involves the agricultural residues can be used as adsorbent material in elimination of heavy metals as they're less high- priced, require little processing, without problems available and own right adsorption potential.

  2. OBJECTIVES

    Challenge is to deal with the water and soil from the tire industry surrounding region at Perambalur, Tamilnadu.

    • To collect the polluted water and soil

    • To characterize the physiochemical parameters

    • To put together the standard values for heavy metal evaluation

    • To use the agriculture waste for adsorption purpose

    • Adsorption limit the concentration of the samples

  3. METHODOLOGY

    • Selection of industry

    • Collection of soil and water

    • Characterization of samples

    • Assess the impacts of the industry

    • Using Adsorption to remediate the impacts

    • Result and discussion

  4. RESULT & DISCUSSION

    The sample preparation and preliminary experiment used to study the spectrum of Physiochemical and heavy metal by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. The data were obtained, further data is used for analysis. Each use may have its own quality requirement. The physical and chemical parameters such as pH, BOD, COD, cadmium, chromium, cupper, manganese, iron, zinc, nickel were analyzed and their results are discussed below.

  5. CONCLUSION

    Many investigations have attempted out diverse adsorbents to remove heavy toxic metals from waste water successfully. The mixture of a physicochemical technique becomes determined to be very effective in getting rid of the pollution present in the tire industry. Thus its miles necessary to finish the treatment manner with a technique inclusive of AAS, to attain the Industrial effluent requirements, complementary procedures such as agriculture waste can be used. Also this results are indicates the agriculture adssssorbents for the removal of Cd, Cr, Cu from wastewater. It could be helpful for anybody to discover the satisfactory and the greenest adsorbent for the removal of a specific heavy metal present inside the effluent.
