Abstract

The study included an evaluation of the industrial water of the State Company for Pharmaceutical Industry - Samarra - Iraq and a test of the efficiency of Cladophore glomeratag in the treatment of industrial wastewater. Measurements were made before and after treatment, then the removal percentage was extracted. The results showed that C. glomeratag have efficiency in reducing the concentrations of the studied properties of water, especially when used in the form of live algae, i.e. cultivated in industrial wastewater.The high removal rate was recorded for most of the studied properties, especially heavy elements, and the percentage of each of the following was (T.D.S.) 98.4) Electrical conductivity (96.80), T.S.S (17.29%), basicity (14.28), total hardness (54.08), salinity (66.66), chloride (91.28), sodium (92.37), calcium (26.66), nitrates and phosphates(92.37) and (39.73) respectively, sulfur (90.10), iron (28.57) and lead (5.79)%. Table (1) shows the results of using C. glomeratag in the form of living algae in SDI industrial wastewater treatment. ), total hardness (91.32), calcium ion (70), sodium (94.50). Chloride was (82.35), and phosphate concentrations decreased, as the removal percentage reached (80.13), nitrates (95), and heavy elements recorded significant differences after treatment, as their concentrations decreased and a high removal rate was recorded, as the percentage of sulfur removal reached (92.75), iron (76.81), lead (94.20) Cadmium (95.83) Total %
