Abstract

The study was conducted in Samarra city to assess the pollution caused by the effluent of car wash stations. The waste water was collected from the selected stations and directly transferred to the laboratory to analysis tests. Some major biological, physical and chemical characteristics of raw water were studied before treatment and included (turbidity, pH, COD, BOD, TSS, TDS,). Statistical analysis of raw effluent recording values exceeded the permissible limits (polluted levels) and approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) and standard values of the Iraqi water standards for all characteristics under study.The raw water samples obtained from the three car wash stations treated two factors, the first being the types of factors and included three types of nanoparticle silver powder (T1), Pomegranate peel powder (T2) and date kernel powder (T3), and the second factor included five concentration levels (250, 200, 150, 100 and 50) in addition to 3 treatments of each station. The analyses were carried out after treatment and the results show silver powder with concentration 250 ppm, recorded highest removal values and for all the characteristics under study namely: turbidity, COD, BOD, TDS and T.S. S with value reached 8.62, 82mg/l, 482mg/l, 1246mg/l and 620mg/l sequentially for the three selected stations. While the pomegranate peel and date kernel treatment recorded lower clearance levels than silver, but significantly from control treatments that recorded highest pollution rates with values 17, 125mg/l, 725mg/l, 1273mg/l and 730mg/l respectively and exceeded the limited values by WHO .
