There are several chemical, physical, and biological treatment processes available for the removal of cyanide from industrial wastewater. But the efficacy of every treatment process depends on the complex elemental matrix of wastewater and the interference associated with them. Thus, water characterization plays a vital part in finding a suitable cyanide treatment process for any wastewater. Characterization data can give a clear overview of the complexity of cyanide in the wastewater, which ultimately helps in selecting the right remediation process. The present work includes comparative characterization of coke plant and blast furnace wastewater collected from an integrated steel plant. Three months of data for physico-chemical properties of the two different sources were analysed and compared. Pearson's correlation analysis of physico-chemical properties with free cyanide was also studied. The different forms of cyanide in coke plant and blast furnace water were also characterised, along with interference associated with them. It was observed that the water matrix of coke plant and blast furnace effluents are totally different. It was also evident that free cyanide concentration is much more affected in coke plant wastewater than in blast furnace water.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2166\/wst.2020.563","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,29]],"date-time":"2020-11-29T10:20:48Z","timestamp":1606645248000},"page":"322-330","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2166\/iwapcrossmarkpolicypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Comparative characterization of cyanide-containing steel industrial wastewater"],"prefix":"10.2166","volume":"83","author":[{"given":"Amit","family":"Mondal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Chemical Lab, Scientific Services, Tata Steel Ltd, Jamshedpur, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Supriya","family":"Sarkar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Environment research group, Research & Development, Tata Steel Ltd, Jamshedpur, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Udayabhanu G.","family":"Nair","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Chemistry, IIT (ISM), Dhanbad, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"945","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021012804263429000_WST-EM20918C1","unstructured":"Alcamisi\n            E.\n          \n          \n            Matino\n            I.\n          \n          \n            Porgio\n            G.
