          Abstract

          Abstract Jean laundering generates significant effluent flows with a high organic load, color, and other pollutants, making it difficult to adjust effluent releases within legal limits. Slow Sand Filters (SSF) with downflow were tested for seven days (bench scale), to propose an after-treatment of effluents from an Effluent Treatment Plant of a jean laundry. The research evaluated the removal of the following parameters: color, turbidity, chemical and biochemical oxygen demand, conductivity, ammonia, total phosphorus and salinity of the textile effluent. The experimental apparatus had four SSF: the first filter was fed with distilled water, while the other three filters (triplicates) were fed with effluent. The filters had, on average, the following removal efficiencies: 91% for ammonia, 61.24% color, 89.43% turbidity, and 83.54% for phosphorus. Regarding the removal of organic matter, 98.11% for BOD and 81.17% for COD, demonstrating that SSFs were efficient in removing particulate, dissolved materials and organic matter.

          Resumo As lavanderias de Jeans geram grandes vazões de efluentes com elevada carga orgânica, cor e outros poluentes, o que dificulta sua adequação para lançamentos dentro dos limites legais. Filtros lentos de areia (FLA) com fluxo descendente foram testados durante 7 dias, em escala de bancada, a fim de propor um pós-tratamento de efluentes de uma Estação de Tratamento de Efluentes de lavanderia de jeans. Nesta pesquisa, foi avaliada a remoção dos seguintes parâmetros: cor, turbidez, demanda química e bioquímica de oxigênio, condutividade, amônia, fósforo total e salinidade. O experimento contou com quatro FLA: o primeiro alimentado com água destilada e os outros três alimentados com o efluente têxtil (triplicatas). Os FLA removeram 91% de amônia, 61,24% de cor, 89,43% de turbidez e 83,54% de fósforo. Quanto à remoção de matéria orgânica, em média houve remoção de 98,11% para DBO e 81,17% para DQO, demonstrando que os FLA foram eficientes na remoção de materiais particulados e dissolvidos.

          A review on chemical coagulation/flocculation technologies for removal of colour from textile wastewaters.

          Textile industry is one of the most chemically intensive industries on the earth and the major polluter of potable water. It generates huge quantities of complex chemical substances as a part of unused materials including dyes in the form of wastewater during various stages of textile processing. The direct discharge of this wastewater into environment affects its ecological status by causing various undesirable changes. As environmental protection becomes a global concern, industries are finding novel solutions for developing technologies that can diminish the environmental damage. However, colour removal from textile wastewater by means of cheaper and environmental friendly technologies is still a major challenge. In this manuscript, several options of decolourisation of textile wastewater by chemical means have been reviewed. Based on the present review, some novel pre-hydrolysed coagulants such as Polyaluminium chloride (PACl), Polyaluminium ferric chloride (PAFCl), Polyferrous sulphate (PFS) and Polyferric chloride (PFCl) have been found to be more effective and suggested for decolourisation of the textile wastewater. Moreover, use of natural coagulants for textile wastewater treatment has also been emphasised and encouraged as the viable alternative because of their eco-friendly nature.
