Textile Dye Removal from Wastewater Effluents Using Chitosan-ZnO Nanocomposite

Textile dye removal from wastewater effluents using bioflocculants produced by indigenous bacterial isolates.

Bioflocculant-producing bacteria were isolated from activated sludge of a wastewater treatment plant located in Durban, South Africa, and identified using standard biochemical tests as well as the analysis of their 16S rRNA gene sequences. The bioflocculants produced by these organisms were ethanol precipitated, purified using 2% (w/v) cetylpyridinium chloride solution and evaluated for removal...

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...

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...

Application of Chemical Coagulation Process for Direct Dye Removal from Textile Wastewater

Introduction: Since some dyes and their metabolites have toxicity and carcinogenicity potential, and are dangerous to the health of different living creatures, discharge of untreated wastewaters containing large concentrations of dye compounds into water resources is one of the important environmental problems. Therefore, in this research, the efficiency of chemical coagulation process was inve...
