STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM.
Industrial wastewater has been posing a serious threat to the world, especially the African continent where the industrial wastwater treatment technology has not been fully developed and implemented by the industrialists. The industrialists are more concerned with how to maximize profits from the investment; hence little or no attention is paid to the wastewater generated, which causes a lot of havoc to the environment. This problem is compounded by the attitudes of the 4 regulatory agencies to enforce the legislation. The regulatory agencies and/or the enforcement arms of the agencies have done little or nothing to enforce these laws. It could be that they lack resources or do not know the authorities and powers conferred on them by the law. It is against this backdrop, that this work was embarked upon. Some industries are aware of the enormous environmental degradation caused by wastewater on the immediate environment to the extent that serious plans are in progress towards setting-up a wastewater treatment plant (FEPA, 1992). The havoc caused by wastewater includes, deterioration of the soil (which makes it erosion proned), pollution of water bodies, emission of gases with pungent odor, among others. The impacts of wastewater to the environs cannot be overemphasized in that, the drainage channels through which the wastewater passes is usually reconstructed every four months as a result of the impacts of the wastewater on the environment. This is an indication, that the nature of the wastewater is either very acid or basic (Muhammad, 2007). This work is set out to study the potentials for using different natural coag-flocculants and adsorbents in the removal/reduction of pollutants from pharmaceutical and refined vegetable oil wastewaters. The effectiveness of these natural materials will save the environment from further deterioration by the wastewaters.
