Several small scale industries have formed cooperatives and established Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETP) to treat wastewater in India. The wastewaters are subjected to primary treatment in the industry and thereafter discharged to be further treated at the CETPs. The management and treatment costs are shared by the member industries. The CETP under study is situated in North Western part...

We describe the fastest dyeing of TiO2 photo-electrodes for dye-sensitized solar cells reported to date (<2 min) at room temperature giving η = 7.5% for an N719-SQ1-CDCA mixture which is significantly higher than devices dyed for >12 h using the same dye mixture (η = 5.5%). Time-lapse photography has been used to monitor the ultra-fast co-sensitization. The data show significantly different dye...

With the development of dyeing wastewater treatment biotechnology, the advantages of bioaugmentation bacteria gradually catch people’s eyes. Therefore, its construction and application research has also attracted the attention of the majority of scholars. This article summaries the construction and application of bioaugmentation engineered bacteria used to treat dyeing wastewater in recent year...

The polyester (100%), cotton (100%) and Polyester / Cotton blend fabrics (65 / 35; 50 / 50 & 35 / 65) were treated with sodium hydroxide followed by hydrophilic finishing and dyeing to impart hygroscopic and dyeing characteristics. Then the finished fabric was tested for k/s value, fastness properties, wetting behaviour, water retention, wicking behaviour and static charge respectively. The sod...

One of the most environmentally friendly methods to treat wastewater, especially synthetic dyes, is production activated carbon from agricultural waste. Tamarind seeds were transformed negative-value waste into in order study removal dyes. The particular agro was soaked ZnCl2 for chemical activation increase its surface area and enhance porosity. Physical tamarind done by carbonization process ...

The Indian riverine system has become dumping site for toxic industrial pollutants. For assessing the flow of pollutants at various trophic levels, it is primarily important to do elemental profiling first so as detect their load in Sirsa tributary river Sutlej flowing through foothills Shivalik Himachal Pradesh, around hub Baddi, Solan. study area includes three observation sites (S1, S2, and ...

Leather processing industries consume high volumes of water and chemicals release effluents into the environment that pollute surface may cause harm to human health. involves different wet stages such as soaking, liming, chrome tanning, rechroming, neutralization, fatliqouring dyeing. The pollution generated from leather varies in volume, nature concentrations. Qualitative quantitative assessme...

In the last few decades’ surface water, under river flow, groundwater and frozen water shows presence of pollutant due to dyes containing chemicals waste from textile related Industries. One such methylene blue dye is utilized for coloring paper, temporary hair coloring, dyeing cotton wools, as a result its effluents contaminated with dye. Removal effluent very important serious environmental h...
