Abstract. Liquid effluent from Bhilai Steel Plant (B.S.P.) Bhilai
were analysed for physico-chemical variables, for seven continuous days, about 100 m upstream
to the point of its joining
a river. Some of the variables
with higher mean
values were nitrate-nitrogen (167.4 mg/l) ammonia-nitrogen (90.9
mg/l), sulfate (915.6 mg/l) and iron (364.8
mg/l) while variables
like chloride (22.93
mg/l) nitrite nitrogen (4.29 mg/I) and
phosphate (0.346 mg/l) exhibited comparatively lower concentrations. Ammonia concentration
was beyond ISI permissible
limit of 50 mg/l.
Key words: Steel plant, liquid effluent, .physico-chemical characters, permissible limit.
