Treatment of textile wastewater by chemical methods for reuse

[摘要] Treatment of wastewater effluent from the secondary wastewater treatment plant of a dyeing and finishing mill is investigated for possible reuse. The treatment system employed in the present study consists of an electrochemical method, chemical coagulation and ion exchange. The electrochemical method and chemical coagulation are intended primarily to remove color, turbidity (NTU) and COD concentration of the wastewater effluent while ion exchange is employed to further lower the COD concentration and reduce Fe ion concentration, conductivity and total hardness of the wastewater. To enhance the efficiency of electrochemical method, addition of a small amount of hydrogen peroxide is found to be highly beneficial. Experimental results throughout the present study have indicated that the combined chemical treatment methods are very effective and are capable of elevating the water quality of the treated waste effluent to the reuse standard of the textile industry.
