Effect of coagulants and extent of colour removal from textile effluents

Abstract

The conclusions to study the effectiveness of coagulants were arrived at following a general survey conducted to evaluate the commonly used coagulants during after treatment procedures in textile industries. The survey also indicated that only a few textiles industries go a step further to treat the waste water before disposal to the surrounding water bodies. It was hoped that a general picture would be obtained partaining to the dye pollution in the environment. Moreover, the efficiency of a particular coagulant on bases of dye type was investigated
