Abstract In recent days, the waste productions from industries are increased and direct discharge of wastes causes various pollution to environment. Wastewater treatment in textile dye industry mainly involves highly colored wastewater containing variety dyes different concentrations. The dyeing using types pigments concentration during their several production steps. These a which contains org...

Trametes hirsuta and a purified laccase from this organism were able to degrade triarylmethane, indigoid, azo, and anthraquinonic dyes. Initial decolorization velocities depended on the substituents on the phenolic rings of the dyes. Immobilization of the T. hirsuta laccase on alumina enhanced the thermal stabilities of the enzyme and its tolerance against some enzyme inhibitors, such as halide...

Thousands of workers are employed in textile industries under different job categories including dyeing, printing, finishing, cutting, weaving and spinning. The textile industry workers are exposed to a number of chemicals including dyes, solvents, optical brighteners, finishing agents and numerous types of natural and synthetic fibre dusts which affect their health. In this paper an attempt ha...

Acrylic manufacturing wastewater is characterized by high toxicity, poor biodegradability, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and ammonia nitrogen. Herein, we exploited traditional Fenton technology to treat acrylic fiber wastewater. The impacts of key operating variables including the initial concentration H2O2 (CH2O2), Fe2+ (DFe2+), solution pH (pH) on COD removal rate (RCOD) were explored treatmen...

A laboratory-scale pilot plant of moving bed biofilm reactor coupled with membrane bioreactor (MBBR-MBR) was studied regard to wastewater treatment in the textile industry, and reuse feasibility treated water investigated. The comprised two connected parts: an aerobic tank filled carriers a submerged tank. MBBR-MBR system reduced hydraulic retention time 1 day, which is very promising compared ...

  Background :Despite the presence of many textile and dyeing plants in Iran, we couldn’t find similar studies in this country. Forthermore, considering progress in the dyeing process and engineering controls, assessment of respiratory system is important for these workers. The present study was performed to evaluate the respiratory system in dyeing workers.   Methods : In a cross-sectional stu...

Wastewater from the textile industry can contain a variety of polluting subst-ances including dyes. Increasingly, environmental legislation is being imposed to control the release of dyes, in particular azo-based compounds, into the enviro -nment. The ability of microorganisms to decolourise and metabolise dyes has long been known, and the use of bioremediation based technologies for treating t...

Textile wastewater heavy metal pollution has become a severe environmental problem worldwide. Metal ion inclusion in dye molecule exhibits bathochromic shift producing deeper but duller shades, which provides excellent colouration. The ejection of massive volume containing ions such as Cr (VI), Pb (II), Cd (II) and Zn metal-containing dyes are an unavoidable consequence because the textile indu...

Durable, electrically conducting yarns are a critical component of electronic textiles (e-textiles). Here, such yarns with exceptional wear and wash resistance are realized through dyeing silk from the silkworm Bombyx mori with the conjugated polymer:polyelectrolyte complex PEDOT:PSS. A high Young's modulus of approximately 2 GPa combined with a robust and scalable dyeing process results in up ...

Textile wastewater represents challenging feed streams to be treated by membrane separation due to the complex composition and presence of reactive components. Here we fi rst briefl y present some characteristics of textile wastewater remediation where a key issue is (bio)fouling. We then present Membrane Bioreactors (MBRs) and Forward Osmosis (FO) membranes as both technologies have attracted ...
