ABSTRACT

In the world, various dyes are being produced and utilized by industries in the process of making textile, leather, paper, food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical products. The values of different water parameters in textile industry effluent were found to be highly polluted and needs an appropriate treatment technique. High level of water pollution is being created due to the rapid urbanization and industrialization in the developing countries through the discharge of harmful textile effluents. Depending upon the industry type, the characteristics of industrial effluents vary drastically in terms of the nature of contaminates, their concentrations, treatment technique, and the required disposal method. The characteristics of industrial effluents in terms of nature of contaminates, their concentrations, treatment technique, and required disposal method vary significantly depending on the type of industry. Further, the choice of an effluent treatment technique is governed by various parameters such as contaminates, their concentration, volume to be treated, and toxicity to microbes.
