Eco-friendly wet processings of textiles are major concerns of textile producers nowadays to attain high quality products without diversely affecting the environment quality and the enduser health1. Enzymatic processing of textile offers many advantages when compared to traditional chemical methods, namely, enzymes use significantly less water, less energy, and fewer chemicals than traditional ...

Water pollution caused by industrial organic compounds is a serious global environmental problem. In some developing countries, the wastewater discharged from the textile industry is estimated to be more than one billion tons annually. The dyes in the discharge usually contain functional groups that could lead to high toxicity, i.e. the aromatic amine groups. Some dyes are resistant to light, h...

in this research we have developed a treatment method for textile wastewater by tio2/sio2-based magnetic nanocomposite. textile wastewater includes a large variety of dyes and chemicals and needs treatments. this manuscript presents a facile method for removing dyes from the textile wastewater by using tio2/sio2-based nanocomposite (fe3o4@sio2/tio2) under uv irradiation. this magnetic nanocompo...

Sorption technique is one of the most effective methods for recovering precious metals from wastewater solutions; however, its main drawbacks of the traditional sorbents are the slow kinetics and relatively low sorption capacities. As a solution, thin sorbent fibers have been highlighted because they can lead to fast adsorption kinetics due to their high surface areas and numerous binding sites...

BACKGROUND Application of membrane technology to wastewater treatment has expanded over the last decades due to increasingly stringent legislation, greater opportunities for water reuse/recycling processes and continuing advancement in membrane technology. OBJECTIVES In the present study, a bench-scale submerged microfiltration membrane bioreactor (MBR) was used to assess the treatment of tex...

the photocatalytic decolorization of aqueous solutions brown ng, a commercial textile dye, was studied using titana degussa p-25 as a catalyst for the first time. the experiments were carried out in a batch reactor with the use of artificial light sources (uv-c). the effects of various process variables on decolorization performance of the process have been investigated. the photodegradation of...

The ability of a particular banana fibre in removing reactive dyes from textile wastewater was studied in the present work. Locally available ground seeded banana fibre of ≤ 212 μ was used as adsorbent. Initially the adsorbent was tested on standard Novacron Blue FN-R reactive dye solutions and then it was also applied to raw textile wastewater. The adsorbent was found very effective to remove ...
