Combination of physico-chemical treatment and nanofiltration to reuse wastewater of a printing, dyeing and finishing textile industry

Abstract:

The main goal of this work was to study the feasibility of the combination of physico-chemical treatment with nanofiltration to reuse wastewater of a printing, dyeing and finishing textile industry. For the physico-chemical treatment two coagulants (one containing Al3+ and another containing Fe2+) were compared by carrying out jar-tests using different chemical concentrations and pH values. After that, nanofiltration experiments with physico-chemically treated wastewater were performed at different operating pressures and cross-flow velocities. The results showed that the COD and conductivity of the nanofiltration permeates were lower than 100 mg/L and 1000 μS/cm respectively.
