TURBIDITY

Aim:- To determine the hardness of water through cement block.

Materials :- Pervious concrete, Ceramic , Rubber, Coal.

Turbidity Test:-

Turbidity in a solution is caused by presence of suspended impurity, specially of non-settleable nature. The
measurement of turbidity is necessary to decide the dose of coagulant needed to remove the suspended
impurity. Presence of turbidity in water causes the incident light to be scattered and absorbed and only part of
light gets transmitted in straight line. The measurement of turbidity is based on the same principle.

Materials Turbidity

Pervious Block 122 NTU

Coal Block 20 NTU

Ceramic Block 34 NTU

Rubber Block 61 NTU

Turbidity of pre-purified water :- 148 NTU

Conclusion:-

 As we have seen that the normal pervious concrete shows higher Turbidity as compared to other
blocks. Turbidity of water through the normal pervious block is little less than pre-purified water.
 But when pass water through rubber, ceramic and coal block turbidity reduces and improves the result
compared to the water through normal pervious block. Among all waste coal shows better results.
