Color Removal from Simulated Textile Effluents Using Clean Electrocoagulation Technique
Authors
Abstract:
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(3-9), current density(60-120 A/m2 ), operating time (6-40), initial dye concentration (100-1200 mg/L) and solution conductivity (applied conductivity is better than literature) were studied in an attempt to reach higher color removal efficiency (%98). The chemical oxygen demand decreased by more than %87. The results of this work are comparable with those of recent studies. The electrical energy consumption in the above conditions was on order of 1.2-3.2 kWh/m3 of wastewater and the water recovery was 0.97m3 /m3 of wastewater, in this research “water recovery” was introduced and calculated in order to show the more economically feasible recycling of treated water. However the operating parameters used for the synthetic dye were less effective for treatment of simulated textile wastewater.

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...

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...

The paper presents our new results about efficiency of wastes based on hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrile textile fibers (HPAN) as sorbents in removal of some dyes from textile effluents. The effect of some experimental variables such as initial dye concentration, sorbent mass, pH, temperature, and contact time were investigated. The sorbent dye sorption systems are described using Freundlich, Langmu...

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...
