Textile effluent

The textile wastewater treatment by membrane processes presents some limitations such as membrane fouling which causes a rapid flux decline. In fact, the membrane processes efficiency can be affected by membrane pore blocking or/and cake formation. In order to limit the effect of membrane fouling ca

A combination of adsorption and nanofiltration (NF) was adopted for the treatment of a textile dyehouse effluent containing a mixture of two reactive dyes. The effluent stream was first treated in a batch adsorption process with sawdust as an adsorbent to reduce the dye concentration of the effluent

Zeolite was used as a low-cost adsorbent to evaluate its ability to remove color from textile effluents. The zeolite (clinoptilolite) used in this study is a natural clay mineral from the Gördes region of Turkey. The adsorption of reactive dyes into zeolite was investigated by a series of batch adso
