Background & objectives: Dyes are structurally complex materials, which enter into the environment due to discharging of textiles effluent from dyeing and printing processes. Reactive Blue 52 dye is used widely in the textile industry. Therefore, we investigated the efficiency of the filamentous Alga as natural adsorbent in the removal of Reactive Blue 52 dye from textile wastewater. Methods: ...

Aluminum sulfate (alum), ferrous sulfate, ferric chloride and ferric chloro-sulfate were commonly used as coagulants. However, a possible link of Alzheimer’s disease with conventional aluminium based coagulants has become an issue in wastewater treatment. Hence, special attention has shift towards using biodegradable polymer, chitosan in treatment, which are more environmental friendly. Moreove...

In this work, the efficiency of a photo-electrochemical method to remove color in textile dyeing effluents is discussed. The decolorization of a synthetic effluent containing a bi-functional reactive dye was carried out by applying an electrochemical treatment at different intensities (2 A, 5 A and 10 A), followed by ultraviolet irradiation. The combination of both treatments was optimized. The...

Since discharge limits are becoming stricter for industrial wastes, textile manufacturers are searching for 3fficient and economical methods of pollution reduction. This is typical of :he situation facing the textile ndustry, especially in the area of :olor pollution emitted into the zarth's waterways. Ozone treatment ;o remove color from wastewater :ould be a solution to the problem of

Wastewater recovery is one of the most pressing contaminant-related subjects in textile industry. Many cleaning and techniques have been applied recent decades, from physical separation to chemical separation. This work reviews wastewater by focusing on natural or synthetic nanoclays order compare their capabilities. Presently, a wide variety are available that can adsorb substances dissolved w...

We demonstrate the engineered growth of TiO(2) nanotube arrays on flexible carbon fibre sheets. The modification not only enables the textile to absorb ultraviolet light efficiently but also imparts large surface area and mesoporosity to the textile. This flexible nanoarchitecture greatly facilitates the purification of organic wastewater.

Environmental pollution from organic contaminants caused by textile dyeing is a real danger. Wastewater the industry has high loads, as well dyes and chemical compounds used in their preparation. Among azo dyes, Congo red (CR) dye widely model experimental studies of wastewater treatment. Heterogeneous photocatalysis consists UV or VIS light irradiation various types water presence solid cataly...
