A number of studies have already been carried out for the metal analysis of paper mill effluents which are generally using wood and non-wood (bamboo, baggase etc.) as fibrous raw material for paper manufacturing process. This study deals with a paper mill which is using cotton comber and cotton liner as raw material for paper manufacturing process. Effluents generated in the paper mill at different stages were sampled and analyzed.
