Polyvinyl alcohol-containing desizing wastewater discharged within final textile wastewater has a great impact to the environment due to its poor biodegradability. An improved lab-scale hybrid anaerobic baffled reactor was developed to treat desizing wastewater. The modification was achieved by increasing the height of hybrid anaerobic baffled reactor and application of proper effluent recycle ...

In this work, the efficiency of a photo-electrochemical method to remove color in textile dyeing effluents is discussed. The decolorization of a synthetic effluent containing a bi-functional reactive dye was carried out by applying an electrochemical treatment at different intensities (2 A, 5 A and 10 A), followed by ultraviolet irradiation. The combination of both treatments was optimized. The...

This research investigated the efficacy of chlorine dioxide (ClO2), ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, UV in combination with chlorine dioxide (UV/ClO2), and UV in combination with hydrogen peroxide (UV/H2O2) for decolorizing three reactive azo dyes (sultan red, indigo blue and cypress green) and treated textile-manufacturing wastewater. The objective was to determine the best treatment for reducing...

In order to reduce the impacts of industrial effluent on environment, silicon carbide hollow fiber membranes were prepared by precipitation-immersion technique and sintered at 1450 1500 °C. The characterized X-ray diffraction, their surface structure was scanning electron microscopy atomic force microscopy, pore size distribution porosity, mechanical properties, flow measurements with distilled...

Background and purpose: Textile effluents are very difficult to treat satisfactorily due to high variations in their compositions. Strong color is one of the main characteristics of textile effluent and, if not eliminated, it can cause serious problems to the environment. In the present study, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were used as an adsorbent for the removal of Reactive Red-120 (...

Large amounts of wastewater comprising stubborn dyes and other textile processing chemicals are often produced by factories. It has been shown that the effluents emitted from these enterprises have a significant pollution load (high dissolved solids, COD, color, chloride content) not easily biodegradable. As result, discharging untreated effluent serious environmental consequences. Historically...
