background; conventional chemical coagulation is considered as the old method to color and cod removal in textile effluent. electrocoagulation (ec) process is a robust method to achieve maximum removal. methods; this work was designed to compare the result of operational parameters including optimum ph and coagulant concentration for chemical coagulation with ferric chloride and alum. also, the...

potassium ferrate has been used as a multi-purpose chemical in treatment of wastewaters. with the formula of k2fe04 it has 3 excellent characters for water treatment, so by using it alone, it would be possible to confine all reactivity, it is essential to prepare ferrate at the point of use. in this study, k2fe04 was synthesized, then it has been employed for chlorine gas with an alkaline solut...

Magnesium chloride, though cost wise roughly same as of ferrous sulphate, is less commonly used coagulant in comparison to the ferrous sulphate for the treatment of wastewater. The present study was conducted to investigate the comparative effectiveness of ferrous sulphate (FeSO4.7H2O) as iron based salt and magnesium chloride (MgCl2) as magnesium based salt in terms of decolorization and chemi...

Textile wastewater is notoriously known to contain strong colour, a highly fluctuating pH and significant COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) values. Because of these characteristics, treatment of these effluents has been rather difficult. Traditional methods for dealing with textile wastewater consist of various combinations of biological, physical and chemical methods. Because of the large variabili...

The chemical coagulation methods have been using successfully for treatment of textile wastewaters which have high color, COD and TOC contents. The coagulants have adsorption capability and constitute hydroxide compounds with dissolved substances in colored wastewaters.The greatest advantage of the coagulation method is to decrease further COD values than the other methods. The disadvantages of...

The environmental issues associated with residual colour in textile efnuents have posed a major challenge to environmental scientists as well as the textile colouration processors. The requirements to remove colour from textile efnuent on si te prior to discharge to sewer have been progressively tightened due to increased public complaints about coloured watercourses. Dyes are highly dispersibl...

Harmful effects of textile industry effluents are a huge problem for now a days. It creats many problems at different level of ecosystem. The textile industry generates a high volume of waste products. Approx. seventy tons of dye is used annually. A big portion of such amount is discharged in a huge amount of water which affects the quality of water. They are cause of high BOD, COD sulphate, lo...

The present study aimed to assess and compare the ability to remediate synthetic textile and industrial wastewaters by Fenton treatment, a biological system and sequential treatments using Aspergillus niger (A. niger). All studied treatments were found to be effective in decolorization of the effluents under study. Fenton treatment followed by A. niger showed excellent potential for the maximum...

The role of sawdust in the removal of pollutants from textile wastewater has been investigated. The textile wastewater was treated by using sawdust as adsorbent and then filtered. The various physicochemical characteristics of sawdust treated and untreated textile effluent were analyzed. The maximum percent removal of 37% was observed for total suspended solids while minimum removal of 9% for c...
