Chloride in concentration above 600 mg/l tends to give water a salty taste. The concentration of chloride content above 200 mg/l is considered objectionable. Presence of high quantity of chloride content in water resources indicate pollution due to human and industrial wastes and also from the earthen rocks in the subsurface. High chloride concentrations in freshwater can harm aquatic organisms by interfering with osmo-regulation, the biological process by which they maintain the proper concentration of salt and other solutes in their bodily fluids. Difficulty with osmo-regulation can hinder survival, growth, and reproduction. In large concentrations it can create problems to water supply line and human health. This paper deals with removal of chloride by using Bio adsorbent in batch study.
