Whey is the main by-product obtained from cheese production. It contains a high concentration of organic matter, mainly proteins and lactose, and mineral salts. Usually, pre-treated whey was discharged into sewer together with the other liquid effluents from the dairy industry. However, the increasi

Water scarcity is becoming a serious problem in the Mediterranean countries. To minimize negative effects, wastewater reclamation can be one of the possible solutions. Reverse osmosis (RO) is the process that ensures the highest water quality. Thus, the required quality goal can be reached adjusting

Water scarcity in Mediterranean areas such as Comunidad Valenciana (Spain) makes water reuse necessary in high water-consuming industries. Previous studies by our research group showed that nanofiltration (NF) membrane permeates could be reused in some processes of finishing, dyeing and printing in

This work is focused on the treatment of a textile plant wastewater. The industry mainly manufactures socks, stockings and panties, and the water is treated in order to be reused. The wastewater was characterized and jartests experiments were carried out with different coagulants and flocculants, at
