Textile industries generate various types of wastewater depending on the industrial process and the raw materials used such as jute, cotton and animal fibers (wool and silk)
Abstract-Electrochemical, COD was reduced by 52%, 63% and 71% respectively; Color was reduced by 41%, 55%, 77% respectively. The biodegradability was improved because of the increase BOD/COD ratio from 0.1 to 0.58. It was observed that increasing the electrolysis time and increased current density bring down the concentration of pollutants. COD removal and energy consumption rates are discussed. Kinetics for COD removal is also discussed. It can be concluded from the results that SS as an anode found to be effective in treating this electrolyte and could be effectively used for pretreatment of textile dye wastewater.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
