After treatment, the treated industrial wastewater may be reused or released to a sanitary sewer or to a surface water in the environment. The most commonly used industrial wastewater treatment techniques include adsorption, coagulation, ozonation, membrane filtration, ion exchange, chemical oxidation, and biological treatments.Industrial wastewater means used up water from industries. The characteristics of waters depend on the nature of industry. The agricultural sector produces an enormous volume of wastewater every year.
