Excessive Turbidity Removal from Textile Effluents Using Electrocoagulation Technique

Color Removal from Simulated Textile Effluents Using Clean Electrocoagulation Technique

The present work was directed toward the successful ability of electerocoagulation to remove color from synthetic and simulated textile effluent by aluminum/iron electrodes. Two representative reactive dyes were selected for the synthetic dye system, a black dye alone and mixed dye (black, blue, red, 1:1:1 vol/vol). Several important operating parameters such as electrode material, initial pH(3...

Colour removal from textile effluents

The environmental issues associated with residual colour in textile efnuents have posed a major challenge to environmental scientists as well as the textile colouration processors. The requirements to remove colour from textile efnuent on si te prior to discharge to sewer have been progressively tightened due to increased public complaints about coloured watercourses. Dyes are highly dispersibl...

Removal of dyes from textile effluents by chemical coagulation

Surface charge density studies as well as characterizations of coagulated dye sludge were investigated to explain the mechanism which takes place during removal of dyes from effluents by chemical coagulation. A simple laboratory model was used to compare two commercially used textile azo dyes: CI “Reactive Black 5” and “Acid Black 1” that were coagulated with synthetic primary coagulants have b...

Removal of water turbidity by the electrocoagulation method.

BACKGROUND Electrocoagulation is a technique involving the electrolytic addition of coagulating metal ions directly from sacrificial electrodes. These ions coagulate with turbidity agents in the water, in a similar manner to the addition of coagulating chemicals such as alum and ferric chloride, and allow the easier removal of the pollutants. Purpose of this study was to conduct experimental in...
