Abstract

Textile effluents are highly toxic due to their color and high COD levels. Studies have shown that using the membrane separation alone will not remove all the toxicity in the effluent. We have come up with a design consisting of electrochemical and bioreactors coupled with membrane separation process for better yield in retrieving the waste acquiring zero discharge. From the earlier studies it can be proved that this design can achieve what the industry requires and can achieve low COD levels. This design is mainly concentrated on the made up sample of textile effluent taken from ?Tiruppur, Tamilnadu, India? as a case study for the process. The electro Fenton is used as the electrochemical method. Studies show that removal of color is greater than 95%. Anaerobic and aerobic reactors coupled with membranes are used for the reduction of COD levels in the primary treated waste water from the electro Fenton process. Studies have shown that the COD levels have reduced drastically. In the final stage reverse osmosis membranes are used to completely eliminate contaminates and any trace of toxic in the water. Fouling in this process is comparatively low
