Adsorption treatment of distillery effluent has great potential as a sustainable method as it is a low costmethod. The aim of this investigation is to study the treatment method for purification of distillery spent wash by using soil,sand and soil + sand (1:1) For this, the study encompassing evaluation of reduction of various physical chemical parameters(color, odor, pH, COD, TS, TDS, Ca, Mg, Na and K) of distillery spent wash was checked by passing through the columns ofsoil, sand and soil + sand(1:1). The distillery effluent was acidic (pH 4.7) and dark brown in color which often causepsychological fear in farmers for utilization. Soil treatment of spent wash exhibited good reduction in COD, TS, TDS, Mg,Na, Ca, after 72 hour treatment and increase in pH toward pH 7 followed by soil + sand(1:1) Treated spent wash showed agood growth of wheat seeds and this method can be used for purification of industrial spent wash at commercial level.
