Background & Aims of the Study: One of the most important environmental pollutants in the alcohol industry is sugar beet molasses. The wastewater of these industries causes the pollution of soil, surface water, and underground water. Iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles have attracted much consideration due to their unique properties, such as superparamagnetism, surface-to-volume ratio, greater su...

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...

There are more than 100,000 different synthetic dyes available on the market, produced in over 700,000 tons annually worldwide. They are used in the textile, paper, cosmetics, food and pharmaceutical industries. Some of them are dangerous to living organisms due to their possible toxicity and carcinogenicity. About 10% of the above mentioned amount is lost in wastewater, which justifies the con...

The photo-oxidation process by combination of UV light and H20 2 generates hydroxyl radicals which are capable of oxidising many organic compounds which are refractory type and difficult to oxidize by conve nt ional' chemical treatment. In the present study, photo-oxidation of Direct Yellow 12 (DY 12) dye has been carri ed out in an annular type photoreactor using 8 Watt low pressure mercury la...

Metal oxides play significant role in many fields of nanotechnology including nanocatalysis, sensing, supermagnetic properties, fuel cells, nanoenergy storage and conservation. Dyes are synthetic compounds which have wide range of application in textiles, paints etc., and the dye effluents from the dyeing industries cause water pollution. In this present study, ZnO photocatalyst have been synth...

In recent years, the textile industry must go towards developing of new technologies to reduce the energy and water consumption. The use of microwave in textile wet processing is one way for this purpose. The advantages of microwaves, which it is use much less liquid, they can exhaust or save dyes and leave no waste of liquid dye compared to conventional methods. Microwave dyeing has other adva...

Contaminated water is the primary source of any disease. Water may be contaminated by number of pollutants and dyes are one of them. Malachite green (MG) dye is widely used as biocide in the aquaculture industry to controls fungal attacks, protozoan infections and also used in food and textile industries for various purposes. Surface and ground water is contaminated with dyes due to discharge o...
