Abstract: Due to high pollution load, sugar industry is considered as one of the topmost pollutions generating industries affecting our environment. Wastewater from sugar industry bears intricate properties and its treatment is considered as one of the challenging tasks for environmental engineers in terms of its treatment as well as reutilization. The brown color, high temperature, low pH, high COD, high BOD, TDS, odor problems and excessive percentage of dissolved organics and inorganics hallmarks the sugar industrial effluent. This effluent if discharged untreated, poses problems for both marine and terrestrial ecosystems. The cost effective and economical treatment of sugar industrial waste is a challenging task. Therefore, implication of appropriate and cost-effective method to meet the discharge standards is the utterly required need of time. This study gives a brief and concise overview of various techniques employed for treating sugar industrial effluents.
