ABSTRACT
Wastewater treatment is a crucial issue in the textile industry.
Numerous novel technologies and processes have been developed to
improve the efficiency and effectiveness of wastewater reclamation
in wastewater treatment plants. The present chapter focuses on
catalytic ozonation facilitated by carbon aerogel materials for on-site
real textile dyeing wastewater treatment rather than a bench-scale
study. A primary industrial trial in a dyeing wastewater treatment
plant is reported to have validated the effectiveness and efficiency
of catalytic ozonation technology in the reclamation of real textile
wastewater. The industrial trial was carried out in an integrated
treatment system comprising a catalytic ozonation reactor, a 3D
electrolysis reactor, a membrane bioreactor, and a reverse osmosis
unit for the comprehensive treatment of real wastewater. The water
quality of effluents from each treatment unit was monitored and
compared to industrial criteria for the reuse of wastewater.
