Characterization and Treatment of Textile Effluent By Photocatalytic Method (original) (raw)

Textile industry is one of the important industries in the world that provide large employment with less required special skills and play a major role in the economy of many countries. The textile industry uses various chemicals and large amount of water during the production process. The waste water produced from this textile industries contains large amount of dyes, which are capable of harming the environment and human health. oxidation of organic and inorganic pollutantsby photochemical method is rapidly becoming an attractive technique for purify the water and wastewater treatment. A photo reactor setup consist of UV lamp and compressor. We take 250 ml of raw sample has to been treated and then add various dosage of Tio2. This sample is treated for 2 hours under UV lamp in the photo reactor. The results indicate that the photocatalytic decolouration process can efficiently treat textile effluent and reduce the levels of COD, Calcium Hardness, pH, Turbidity, Alkalinity, Total so...
