An activated carbon as adsorbent is derived from waste tendu leaves (Diospyros melanoxylon) from local Beedi (Cigarette) industry for removal of sulphur dye from textile waste water. Tendue leaves were chemically treated with sulphuric acid and activated carbon prepared was analyzed by pH, moisture content, ash content, bulk density and BET surface area. The adsorption studies were performed as...

Moringa oleifera seeds contain about 40% of highly valued oil due to its wide range of applications, from nutritional issues to cosmetics or biodiesel production. The extraction of Moringa oil generates a waste (65%-75% of seeds weight) which contains a water soluble protein able to be used either in drinking water clarification or wastewater treatment. In this paper, the waste of Moringa oleif...

Methane was generated from cotton waste, while considering its pollution in textile industries. Cotton waste includes solid content and is rich in cellulose having a moisture content of 8.8%. It is difficult to form slurry as the waste float on water and hence an experimental set up has been made like a batch type digester and experiments were conducted with a different proposition of water wit...

One of the major problems encountered in the textile industry is the production of large volumes of highly coloured wastewater. The textile industries daily discharge million litres of untreated effluents in the form of wastewater into public drains that eventually empty into rivers. They cause serious health hazard. Textile wastewater also contains substantial pollution loads which increase th...

Azo dyes are widely used in textile industries. Removal of the color from textile waste water is a striking issue. To curb this issue, biological treatment can be employed rather than physicochemical processes. In this work, Bacillus subtilis is used to degrade the reactive dye – RED M5B. It is found that decolorization was due the action of enzyme peroxidase produced by the organisms during it...

The textile dyeing and printing units in Sanganer town, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. Discharge a huge volume of mostly untreated textile dye wastewater (10,000-15,000kl/day) into various pools and drain adjoining the textile printing units. A number of azo dyes are used in textile printing industries, As a result. The textile waste waters are loaded with them, along with other chemicals used durin...

Textile and Textile dyestuff industries discharge effluent having high Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and colour, making it difficult to treat the effluent completely. Several Physical, Chemical and Biological treatment methods are available to treat such an effluent. However, in recent year’s biological treatment with focus on bacteria have been drawing a tremendous attention due to their abilit...
