New Technology for Textile Wastewater Treatment
Recently, an energy-efficient and eco-friendly technology to treat textile wastewater at a reasonable cost was successfully implemented in Telangana. The technology utilizes biosurfactants, cavitation, and membrane processes.
Context
- Textile effluent contains pollutants such as dyes, dissolved solids, suspended solids, and toxic metals, necessitating efficient treatment before discharge into the environment.
Key Points
- Technology Development: A pilot-scale textile effluent treatment plant was developed using biosurfactants, cavitation, and membrane technology.
- Benefits of Biosurfactants: Biosurfactants used in the Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) aided in dye removal, reduced operational time and cost compared to other biological treatment methods.
- Cavitation for Oxidation: Cavitation, an advanced oxidation ....
