Abstract

Textile industries consume a large volume of water and chemicals for making various textile goods and as a result, large volume of wastewater discharged on land with partially or without treatments. These waste water contaminate the soil while flowing through it and contaminate the water body when these wastewater reach it. The main parameters identified in the textile industry are colour, pH, electrical conductivity, chloride, sulphate, phenols, total dissolved solids, biochemical oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand and other solution substances. Hence, it is necessary to remove dye colour from the textile industry wastewater and also other parameters before being discharged to the environment. Thus, this project mainly focused on equilibrium and kinetic study for removing pollutants from the textile industry wastewater. In this project, characterized the lignite adsorbent for removal of colour from textile industry wastewater. Studied the effect of adsorbent dosage, particle size, concentration, and agitation speed for removing colour from textile industry wastewater. Validated the performance of lignite on removal of colour with other parameters of this study with previous researches study. Developed the kinetic model based on the experimental results using lignite adsorbent. Compared the performance of lignite on removal of colour with other parameters of this study with previous researches study.
