Abstract: Absorption treatment of distillery effluent has great potential as a sustainable method as it is a low cost method. The aim of this investigation is to study the absorption treatment method for purification of distillery spent wash. For this, the study encompassing evaluation of reduction of various physical chemical parameters (pH, COD, TS, TDS, Ca, Mg, Na and K) of distillery spent wash was checked by passing effluent through the column of sand, activated charcoal and sand +activated charcoal (1:1) . The original distillery effluent was acidic (pH 4.7) and dark brown in color which often cause psychological fear in farmers for utilization. Treatment of spent wash with activated charcoal and sand +activated charcoal (1:1) exhibited maximum reduction in COD, TS, TDS, Mg, Na, Ca, and increase in pH toward pH 7. Treated spent wash resulted in a good growth of wheat seeds.
