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...

In acute toxicity (96 hr) experiment the fingerlings of freshwater fish Labeo rohita was exposed to tannery, electroplating and textile mill effluents. The LC0 and LC50 concentrations were 15% and 20% for tannery effluents, 3% and 6% for electroplating effluents and 18% and 22% for textile mill effluents respectively. It was found that, electroplating effluent was more toxic than tannery and te...

Climate change makes people to be aware about the environmental pollutions in aspect of Air, Water and Soil components. The environmentally aware countries have forced the other countries to implement the stringent effluent standards for disposal into water stream / water bodies. Hence, modern technology like the application of membrane separation (Micro or Ultra filtration) technique with biol...

This review discusses cotton textile processing and methods of treating effluent in the textile industry. Several countries, including India, have introduced strict ecological standards for textile industries. With more stringent controls expected in the future, it is essential that control measures be implemented to minimize effluent problems. Industrial textile processing comprises pretreatme...

The textile dyeing units of Pallipalayam area of Namakkal District play a vital role in polluting the river Cauvery directly and spoiling the underground water levels indirectly by letting off their dyeing effluents. This leads to serious environmental hazards of aquatic organisms. In the present study, the textile dyeing effluents of six major textile dyeing units (ST1, ST2, ST3, ST4, ST5 and ...

Current study has evaluated the decolorization of textile dye Red 3BN by Peniciliium chrysogenum, Cladosporium sp. and Aspergillus niger, isolated from textile industry effluent at Bangalore. The organisms were maintained in the laboratory in Potato Dextrose Agar medium. Production of the enzyme laccase by all the 3 strains of fungi has been confirmed through guaiacol bioassay followed by decol...

Textile effluent is one of the known sources of pollution, which usually contain several chemicals, which contaminate the receiving water. This study was conducted to understand the ability of Bacillus sp., and Pseudomonas sp., on decolourization and normalization of other physicochemical parameters, such as odour, temperature, pH, total solids, total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, t...

Textile industries have their own importance in Indian economy. It consumes large amount of water and as a result huge amount of waste water is generated. Textile effluent comprises of suspended solids, mineral oils, residual oils and is characterized by high BOD (from 700 to 2000 mg/l) and COD loads. It is necessary to treat the waste water so that it does not have any threat to the environmen...

Effluent from the textile industry contains toxic compounds. These compounds contaminate the surface water, thereby making it unfit for irrigation and drinking. Since farmers use water from the rivers for agricultural purposes and the residents of the town, use both the surface and underground water from the same area as potable water, it is quite unsafe to discharge this effluent into water bo...

Bacterial consortia BMP1 (containing six isolates), BMP2 (three isolates) and BBP (three isolates) were isolated from textile affected soil, sludge and effluent of Hudiara drain in vicinity of Nishat Mills Limited 5Km Off 22Km Ferozepur Road Lahore, Pakistan. These consortia were capable of degrading red, green, black and yellow dyes and were resistant to heavy metals (Cu, Cd, Cr, Ni, Mn & Pb)....
