Renewable approaches involving the use of natural materials for pollutant removal from wastewaters can offer a favorable solution fitting well with the definition of sustainability. Materials from biological origin (Bean, Moringa, Maize, etc.) have been investigated for their potential use for wastewater treatment. Interestingly, cactus, an abundant plant, offers various options for the treatme...

Textile dyeing is considered to be one of the major industrial sources of high rates of organic and aromatic compounds. Conversely, these compounds have become a significant environmental problem. Many methods have been investigated for color removal from dye-containing wastewater. In this research, the efficiency of the electrocoagulation (EC) process with aluminum electrodes in the removal of...

background : textile wastewater is the most important pollutant of the environment. navy blue (nb) ce-rn is an important chemical dye widely used in the textile industry. the present study aimed to investigate the removal of nb textile dyes from aqueous solutions using magnetic iron oxide absorbents. methods: in this study, a sample of synthetic wastewater with nb concentration of 50 mg/l was u...

Introduction: Dyes are among the most hazardous chemicals in industrial wastes due to their toxicity for aquaculture, reduction of light permeability, and in turn development of disorders in photosynthesis process. The current study aimed to investigate the efficiency of coral in removing red reactive 198 from textile dye wastewater was investigated. Materials & Methods: In this experimental st...

The release of untreated dye textile wastewater into receiving streams is unacceptable not only for aesthetic reasons and its negative impacts on aquatic life but also because numerous dyes are toxic and carcinogenic to humans. Strategies, as of now, used for treating textile wastewaters have technical and economical restrictions. The greater part of the physico-chemical methods, which are used...

The textile processing plants utilize a wide variety of dyes and other chemicals such as acids, bases, salts, detergents, sizes, oxidants, mercerizing and finishing chemicals. Many of these are not retained in the final product and are discharged in the effluent. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the performance of EGSB (Expanded Granular Sludge Bed) reactor to treat non-acid...
