Description: Studies on seafood waste in industrial effluent treatment. This involve the use of the shrimp shell (Fenneropenaeous indicus) which can be used as a coagulant in the removal of paint waste-water in the industrial effluent. This project involves the characterization of shrimp shell as well as the kinetic and isotherms involved in the removal of paint waste water in the industrial effluent. MAJOR-II
