In this work, different treatment methods for wastewater from textile washing operations in the Palestinian territories were studied. The goal of the treatment process was to enable the textile industry to reuse the wastewater in textile washing through simple, efficient, and cost-effective methodologies. Actual textile wastewater samples from local textile factories were used and were found to...

This paper evaluated the treatment of textile wastewater in submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactors (SAMBR) operated on a bench scale. Particularly, the influence of operational conditions, such as the applied organic rate (OLR) and the dilution factor (for toxicity attenuation) of the textile wastewater, was evaluated on color and organic matter removal. In addition, the effect of powdered ac...

Textile dyeing is considered to be one of the major industrial sources of high rates of organic and aromatic compounds. Conversely, these compounds have become a significant environmental problem. Many methods have been investigated for color removal from dye-containing wastewater. In this research, the efficiency of the electrocoagulation (EC) process with aluminum electrodes in the removal of...

The physical characteristics, microbial activities and kinetic properties of the granular sludge biomass were investigated under the influence of different hydraulic retention times (HRT) along with the performance of the system in removal of color and COD of synthetic textile wastewater. The study was conducted in a column reactor operated according to a sequential batch reactor with a sequenc...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the potential applicability of biological trickling filter system for the treatment of simulated textile wastewater containing reactive azo dyes with bacterial consortium under non-sterile conditions. The percentage decolorization for the treatment of wastewater containing structurally different dyes was found to be higher than 95% in all trials. The ...

Abstract This work reports the successful synthesis and application of α-Cu-FeOOH in heterogeneous Fenton treatment actual textile dyeing wastewater. The material characteristics were analyzed by SEM, EDX, BET, FTIR, XRD methods. In tests, highest TOC color removal efficiencies found to be 46.88 37.98%, respectively, suitable conditions Cu/Fe molar ratio = 5%, [H 2 O ] 0.1 M, [α-Cu-FeOOH] 0.6 g...

The oxidation of organic compounds and color removal of a synthetic dyeing effluent when treated with a combination of Fenton’s Reagent and biological oxidation in a sequencing batch reactor was evaluated in this work. A central composite design approach was used to find the best conditions of temperature, hydrogen peroxide and ferrous ion concentrations that maximize color and dissolved organi...

A wide range of chemicals and dyes are being used in textile industry, and are often found in the wastewater produced. This study attempts to investigate the reduction of COD, TSS, and dye in effluents from the dyeing and washing unit of textile industry, using electrocoagulation process. The reactor is equipped with 10 iron electrodes, connected to a direct current (DC) source in a monopolar e...
