Abstract
In this study, efforts have been made to reduce the Electrical conductivity in fresh coir pith using treatments such as chemical, organic and biological and to check the reduction of leachate parameters before and after treatment. Urea, Rock phosphate and Clostridium perfringens were used for treatment in this analysis for a period of 71 days. It is observed that the biological treatment has been very effective against the removal of EC followed by the organic treatment and chemical treatment. The leachate obtained from biological treatment showed high tendency to reduce the EC and TDS. Also the reduced values of the nutrients proved good the growth of the bacteria.
