aims: textile wastewaters are the most important health and environmental problems in kashan. this research was aimed to compare the poly aluminum chloride and chlorinated cuprous efficiency for removal of chemical oxygen demand (cod) and color from kashan textile industries company wastewater. materials & methods: this experimental bench scale study in a batch system was conducted on 20 compos...

Comparative toxicological studies of textile dye wastewater (untreated and treated) on a freshwater fish, Gambusia affinis, revealed a marked reduction in mortality and cytotoxic effects on RBCs, measured as reduction in their counts and percent changes in their shape (poikilocytosis) and variation in their size (anisocytosis)}, after subjecting them to both physicochemical and biological treat...

Renewable approaches involving the use of natural materials for pollutant removal from wastewaters can offer a favorable solution fitting well with the definition of sustainability. Materials from biological origin (Bean, Moringa, Maize, etc.) have been investigated for their potential use for wastewater treatment. Interestingly, cactus, an abundant plant, offers various options for the treatme...

White-rot fungi (WRF) and their ligninolytic enzymes (laccases and peroxidases) are considered promising biotechnological tools to remove lignin related Persistent Organic Pollutants from industrial wastewaters and contaminated ecosystems. A high diversity of the genus Ganoderma has been reported in Cuba; in spite of this, the diversity of ligninolytic enzymes and their genes remained unexplore...

The application of synthetic colors in textile industries and their entry into the water and groundwater is an environmental problem because of being very toxic material. The synthetic colors which are used in textile dyeing (plyacrilic and polyester) are usually dispersing colorants. They derive the azo and anthraquinone chemicals. Electro-Fenton process is an efficient technique which can deg...

Textile industries are one of the largest consumers of water and hence producers of liquid effluents. The dyeing and finishing processes generate volumes of wastewaters in the range 45450 m3 per ton of product [1], containing salts, acids, bases, additives and unfixed dyes. A suitable treatment of these complex wastewaters should lead to a strong decline on the organic load, and desirably to a ...

Aerobic granulation, a novel environmental biotechnological process, was increasingly drawing interest of researchers engaging in work in the area of biological wastewater treatment. Developed about one decade ago, it was exciting research work that explored beyond the limits of aerobic wastewater treatment such as treatment of high strength organic wastewaters, bioremediation of toxic aromatic...

The residual dyes from different sources (e.g., textile industries, paper and pulp industries, dye and dye intermediates industries, pharmaceutical industries, tannery, and Kraft bleaching industries, etc.) are considered a wide variety of organic pollutants introduced into the natural water resources or wastewater treatment systems. One of the main sources with severe pollution problems worldw...
