Surfactants role in the enhancement of the treatment efficiency of the dyeing effluents with combination of membrane processes

Preparation and characterization of tubular cermet membrane for microfiltration separation: application to the treatment of textile wastewater

“…The study was conducted with real effluent textile industry wastewater collected from the sewage of a textile factory in the area of Ksar Hellal, Tunisia. As was characterized by Masmoudi et al [21], textile wastewaters usually consisted of various pollutants emanating from the dyeing, washing, and bleaching baths and particularly contained chemical substances such as hydrolyzed reactive dyes, detergents, salts, and auxiliaries such as surfactants and emulsifiers. The initial physicochemical characteristics of the raw effluents are given in Table 5 in terms of conductivity, chemical oxygen demand (COD), turbidity, and salinity.…”
