Textile industry wastewater, AOP, Fenton process, Photocatalytic, Ozone-based methodsAbstract
The textile industry utilizes a wide spectrum of chemicals and auxiliaries, which cause serious repercussions with regard to the environment. Wastewater generated and released from textile processing units is a potential cause of environmental pollution and health hazards because of the presence of toxic contaminants besides organic matter. One of these primary contaminants is color contributed by the dyes used in the dyeing process. There is a great focus on reusing the effluent water in the dyeing process. Hence, it is crucial to develop an economically viable treatment system for the treatment of wastewater that can meet the stringent effluent quality standards. This article presents various treatment technologies in detail for treating the textile industry effluents which includes the Physico-chemical treatment (Advanced oxidation process (AOP), Fenton process, Photocatalytic, Ozone based methods and Electrochemical AOP), the Biological treatment process (Microbial culture based, Mechanized treatment systems including attached and suspended growth processes) and finally the Hybrid treatment technologies (Anaerobic-Anoxic-Aerobic Membrane Bioreactor Process, Hybrid Anaerobic Sequencing Batch Reactor-Aerobic Process, Hybrid Forward Osmosis-Membrane Distillation (FO-MD) Process, AOP plus Activated Sludge Treatment and Biological followed by physicochemical processes). This review paper also presents the future research prospects and potential technologies that have been recommended for smooth and better process control.
