Textile dyeing wastewater is one of the major environmental problems in Turkey and is a common problem faced by many countries. These types of wastewaters are generally high in biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total solids, and strongly colored. Neither simple chemical nor biological treatment has proved to be adequate in removing the color and organic matter. It is...

The use of low-cost, locally available, highly efficiencient and eco-friendly adsorbents has been investigated as an ideal alternative to the current expensive methods of removing dyes from wastewater. This study investigates the potential use of activated carbon prepared from the Annona squmosa seed for the removal of methyl red (MR) dye from simulated wastewater. The effects of different syst...

Several small scale industries have formed cooperatives and established Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETP) to treat wastewater in India. The wastewaters are subjected to primary treatment in the industry and thereafter discharged to be further treated at the CETPs. The management and treatment costs are shared by the member industries. The CETP under study is situated in North Western part...

BACKGROUND Despite the presence of many textile and dyeing plants in Iran, we couldn't find similar studies in this country. Forthermore, considering progress in the dyeing process and engineering controls, assessment of respiratory system is important for these workers. The present study was performed to evaluate the respiratory system in dyeing workers. METHODS In a cross-sectional study, 1...

The high production yields of pigments by Talaromyces spp. and their high thermal stability have implied that industrial application interests may emerge in the food and textile industries, as they both involve subjecting the colourants to high temperatures. The present study aimed to assess the potential application of the pigments produced by Talaromyces spp. in the textile area by studying t...

Microalgae lipid feedstock preparation cost was an important factor in increasing biodiesel fuel hikes. This study was conducted with the concept of implementing an effluent wastewater as lipid production medium for microalgae cultivation. In our study textile dyeing industry effluent was taken as a lipid production medium for Neochloris sp. cultivation. The changes in physicochemical analysis ...

It is felt very essential to develop a knowledge base on dye chemistry and effects of dyeing process variables as well as rate of dyeing and chemical kinetics of dyeing for different natural dyes and fibres combinations to manipulate the processes of natural dyeing efficiently in order to get maximum color yield in economical way. A review on the effects of dye extraction medium, optimum concen...

The present work deals with the ways of testing the compatibility of reactive dyes with cotton in different textile industries in Bangladesh. This report includes three laboratory trials that were carried out for three different reactive dyes to check the compatibility for use in a dye recipe on cotton knitted goods. In this study, Spectrophotometric analysis was conducted and the fixation of e...

In Rajasthan state particularly, textile mills represent an important economic sector. Pali district in Rajasthan has got largest number of textile industries in the State i.e.989 units, mostly engaged in cotton and synthetic textile printing and dyeing. These industries liberate a variety of chemicals, dyes, acids and alkalis besides other toxic compounds like heavy metals, which are known for...
