Phenol red is a red dye, pH indicator, and diagnostic aid for determination of
renal function. An indicator in tissue culture media (yellow at pH 6.8,red at pH
8.4);occurs as a bright to dark red crystalline powder; in the past given by parenteral
injection as a test for renal function. Phenol red bears a structural resemblance to some
nonsteroidal estrogens and which is used ubiquitously as a pH indicator in tissue culture
media. Any family of organic compound characterize by a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached
to a carbon atom that is part of an aromatic ring. Phenols occur either as colourless
liquids or white solids at room temperature and may be highly toxic.

The plating process typically involves, alkaline cleaning, acid pickling, plating, and
rinsing. Copious amounts of wastewater are generated through these steps, especially
during rinsing. Additionally, batch dumping spent acid and cleaning solutions
contributes to the complexity of waste treatment.
Centrifugation
Centrifugation is a separation process which uses the action of centrifugal force to
promote accelerated settling of particles in a solid-liquid mixture. Centrifuges achieve
separation by means of the accelerated gravitational force achieved by rapid rotation.
This can either replace normal gravity in the sedimentation of suspension or provide the
driving force in the filtration through a filter medium of some kind. The most common
application is separaton of solid substances from high concentrated suspensions. Used
in this way for the treatment of sewage sludge it enables the dewatering with the
production of more or less consistent sediment depending on the nature of the sludge
to be treated, and the accelerated thickening of low concentration sludge.

Chapter I:
Approximately, p67 billion is being consumed of our economic due to water pollution.
These include P3 billion for health, P17 billion for fisheries production and P47 billion for
tourism. Since only 6 out of 115 Philippine cities have sewerage systems, 31 percent of all
reported illness are caused by water-born sources. Nearly 22.2 million metric tons of organic
pollution are produced annually by domestic (48%), agricultural (37%) and industrial (15%)
sectors; up to 58% of groundwater for drinking is contaminated. "More than 90% of the sewage
generated is not disposed or treated in an environmentally acceptable manner. Septic tanks
alone are not environmentally acceptable. Because of these, Metro Manila ranks second to
the lowest in providing piped sewerage system in Asia and only 7% of the population of Metro
Manila is connected to a piped sewerage system and only a few households have acceptable
effluent from their septic tanks. Regions with unsatisfactory ratings for their water quality
criteria include the National Capital Region (NCR) or Metro Manila, Southern Tagalog Region
(Region IV), Central Luzon (Region III), and Central Visayas (Region VII) Ilocos Region
(Region I) was found to be one of the highest contributors to nitrate contamination Philippine
Environment Monitor (PEM) Some estimates point to household wastewater as contributing
as much as 60% of water pollution About 80% of water provided to households becomes

Industrial effluents are causes of environmental pollution. These effluents are
discharged from dyeing industries which are highly colored with a large amount of suspended
organic solid. Dyes are widely used in industries such as textile, rubber, paper, plastics, etc.
The discharge of such effluents is worrying for both toxicological and environmental reasons.
But the conventional wastewater treatment has low removal efficiency for reactive and other
anionic soluble dyes. Due to low biodegradation of dyes, a conventional biological treatment
process is not very effective in treating dyes waste. However, these processes are very costly
and cannot. Effluent from textile mills also contains chromium, which has a cumulative
effect, and higher possibilities for entering into the food chain. Due to usage of dyes and
chemicals, effluents are dark in color, which increases the turbidity of water body. This in
turn hampers the photosynthesis process, causing alteration in the habitat (Joseph Egli,2007).
