Textile biocomposites were prepared by reinforcing natural rubber with woven sisal fabric. Sisal fabric was subjected to various chemical modifications like mercerization, sitanation and heat treatment and its influence on the mechanical properties was analyzed. Tensile strength was seen to decrease with all chemical modifications except for composites prepared with heat-treated sisal fabric. E...

in this study a sample of bentonite obtained from semnan mines, was modified by a surfactant to prepare an organoclay with high surface area. bet analysis showed that the modification increased its surface significantly. the prepared sorbent was used for removal of dyes and other organic pollutants from a waste water obtained from ekbatan textile company. adsorption was studied in various times...

releasing of textile dye effluents into general water bodies is a major environmental and healthproblem. color removal, in particular, has recently become of major scientific interest, as indicated by themultitude of related research reports. during the past two decades, several physico-chemical decolorizationtechniques have been reported, few, however, have been accepted by the textile industr...

The research for objectifying the handle of textile fabrics is a very important factor in the textile and garment manufacturing and retailing industries. Handle is influenced by mechanical properties of textile fabrics and the surface roughness. The KES-F system is standard objectified method among different measurement methods. But the measurement of surface roughness applied the KES-F which i...

Textile wastewater contains substantial pollution loads in terms of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and heavy metals. Phytoremediation used for removing heavy metals and other pollutants by aquatic macrophytes treatment systems (AMATS) is well established environmental protective technique. A lab scale stud...

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 examines the use of chemical or electrocoagulation treatment process followed by ion-exchange process of the textile dye effluent. The dye effluent was treated using polymeric coagulant (cationic dye-fixing agent) or electrocoagulation (iron and aluminum electrode) process under various conditions such as various current densities and effect of pH. Efficiencies of COD reduction, colo...

One of the major problems encountered in the textile industry is the production of large volumes of highly coloured wastewater. The textile industries daily discharge million litres of untreated effluents in the form of wastewater into public drains that eventually empty into rivers. They cause serious health hazard. Textile wastewater also contains substantial pollution loads which increase th...
