The white rot fungus Trametes versicolor was applied to the decolourisation of three synthetic textile dyes in the presence and absence of glucose. Different initial dye concentrations were tested and approximately 97% decolourisation was achieved. It was found that fungal metabolism induced by the glucose as well as the pH play an important role in the decolourisation process. This treatment w...

background and objectives: synthetic dyes are recalcitrant to degradation and toxic to different organisms. decolorization of textile wastewaters is one of the major concerns since last decades. physical-chemical treatments are very expensive and frequently producing large amounts of toxic wastes. biological treatments can be more convenient. in the present study, an attempt has been made for d...

The treatment of textile wastewater for reuse using an electrochemical oxidation step combined with a membrane filtration step is reported in this paper. The electrolytical process is a traditional one, which is easy to scale up and to apply in practice. This paper proposes a modification of the transfer-flow membrane (TFM) module with fibres welded in an arc-shape to enhance the mechanical pro...

BACKGROUND Due to the presence of non-biodegradable and toxic compounds, textile wastewater is difficult to treat by conventional methods. In the present study, Electrochemical Fenton (EF) and Chemical Fenton (CF) processes were studied and compared for the treatment of real textile wastewater. The effects of electrical current, ferrous ion, hydrogen peroxide concentration and reaction time on ...

The study explores the influence of physicochemical pretreatment on the performance of upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors treating synthetic textile wastewater. Physicochemical pretreatment in this study utilized a new composite coagulant magnesium chloride added with aluminum chlorohydrate which produced nearly complete color removal and a partial chemical oxygen demand (COD) remo...

Radiation processing was found effective in wastewater purification and disinfection, and has been investigated in many countries through laboratory scale and pilot scale facilities. This technology can be applied to the treatment of industrial wastewater from textile dyeing industries, papermill and petrochemical processes, and also for the reclamation of effluent from municipal wastewater tre...

This work reports on the viability of the electroflocculation (EF) process for chemical oxygen demand (COD), turbidity and color removal from a raw effluent originated from a particular textile industry related to hemp manufacture. Firstly, the following operational parameters were optimized: current density; initial pH; electrolysis time; material of the electrode (iron, aluminum or iron-alumi...

Textile wastewater contains substantial pollution loads in terms of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and heavy metals. Phytoremediation used for removing heavy metals and other pollutants by aquatic macrophytes treatment systems (AMATS) is well established environmental protective technique. A lab scale stud...
