Non Genotoxicity
1.Water solubility
Water-soluble molecules are generally excreted rapidly by
a living organism
2.Water Insolubility
Due to the insolubility, toxicants gets large size particles
[0.1 to 3 mm] in the body which are not transported across
cell membranes.[e.g.] Pigments
9. Genotoxicity
Mutagens
Carcinogens
Teratogens
Toxicants reach the DNA (which resides in the nucleus of the
cell) in order for the chemical to interact with the DNA.
So the toxicants will be able to transport across the protective
cell membranes
Active species of most carcinogens, known as the ultimate
carcinogen, is an electrophile,

10. The toxic effects of the azo dyes may result from the
direct action of the agent itself or of the aryl amine
derivatives generated during reductive biotransformation
of the azo bond.
The azo dyes entering the body by ingestion can be
metabolized to aromatic amines by the azoreductases of
intestinal microorganisms.
If the dyes are nitro, they can be metabolized by the
nitroredutases produced by the same microorganisms.
Mammalian liver enzymes and other organizations may
also catalyze the reductive cleavage of the azo bond and
the nitro reduction of the nitro group.
In both cases, if N-hydroxylamines are formed, these
compounds are capable of causing DNA damage.

The textile effluents are highly variable in terms of pH and extent of impurities
Such individual process effluents from individual processes will severely affect
the secondary treatment processes of effluent treatment.
It is therefore, necessary to mix the discharges from different processes.

The effluents from primary treatment processes are collected in tanks and are aerated
Air is blown in the form of stream of bubbles at the bottom with mechanical devices, for
about 2 to 6 days.
During this time, a healthy flocculent sludge is formed which brings about oxidation of the
dissolved organic matter.
BOD removal to the extent of 99% could be achieved with efficient operation.

Usually consists of circular or
rectangular beds made of well-graded
gravels media where micro-organisms
deposited on i.e small stone, PVC, coal,
synthetic resins of size 40 mm to 150 mm,
over which wastewater is sprinkled
uniformly on the entire bed with the help
of a slowly rotating distributor (such as
rotary sprinkler).
Thus, the waste water trickles through
the media.
The filter is arranged in such a fashion
that air can enter at the bottom; counter
current to the effluent flow and a
natural draft is produced.
Gelatinous film, comprising of bacteria
and aerobic microorganisms known as
“zooglea”, is formed on the surface of the
filter medium, which thrive on the

30. ACTIVATED SLUDGE PROCESS
09/03/15 30
This is the most versatile biological
oxidation method employed for
the treatment of waste water
In this process, the waste water is
aerated in a reaction tank in which
some microbial floc is suspended.
The aerobic bacterial flora bring
about biological degradation of the
waste into carbon dioxide and
water molecule,
While consuming some organic
matter bacteria grow
The bacteria flora grows and
remains suspended in the form of a
floc, which is called “activated
sludge”.
The effluent from the reaction tank
is separated from the sludge by
settling and discharged.
31. A part of the sludge is recycled to the same tank to provide an
effective microbial population for a fresh treatment cycle.
The surplus sludge is digested in a sludge digester, along with
the primary sludge obtained from primary sedimentation.
An efficient aeration for 5 to 24 hours is required for industrial
wastes.
BOD removal to the extent of 90-95% can be achieved in this
process.
Biological effluent treatment processes meets the standards of
BOD,COD, and are suitable for discharge into river, lake or sea.
However, these treatments are not suitable for removal of
inorganic impurities like salt which are present in the form of
tds.
Biologically treated water is also not suitable for recycling.

34. ADSORPTION
The most commonly used method of dye removal by adsorption.
The process also removes toxic chemicals such as pesticides,
phenols, cyanides and organic dyes.
Adsorbent for treatment is activated carbon.
It is manufactured from carbonaceous material such as wood, coal,
petroleum products etc.
Others: activated clay, silica, fly ash, (inorganic) and bio-
adsorbents-reactive dyes
• Effective for adsorbing cationic, mordant and acid dyes, and to a
slightly lesser extent, dispersed, direct, vat, pigment and reactive
dyes
• Disadvantage: activated carbon is expensive; it has to be
reactivated, which can result in 10-15% loss of sorbent.
35. Ion exchange process is normally
used for the removal of inorganic
salts and some specific organic
anionic components such as phenol.
All salts are composed of a positive
ion of a base and a negative ion of
an acid.
Ion exchange materials are capable
of exchanging soluble ions and
cations with electrolyte solutions.
ION EXCHANGE
36. Removal of bacteria,
salts, sugars, proteins,
particles, dyes, and other
constituents
The separation of ions
with reverse osmosis is
aided by charged particles.
Dissolved ions that carry a
charge, such as salts, are
more likely to be removed
by the membrane than
those that are not charged,
such as organics.

37. 1.REVERSE OSMOSIS
to pass pure water at fairly high rates and to
reject salts at high pressures through the cellulose
acetate or nylon membrane.
Reverse osmosis can be used as end-of-pipe
treatment and recycling system for effluent.
38. 2.ULTRAFILTRATION
The difference between reverse osmosis and
ultrafiltration is primarily the retention
properties of the membranes.
Reverse osmosis membranes retain all solutes
including salts.
Ultrafiltration membranes retain only macro
molecules and suspended solids.
• They are pressure driven membrane operations that
use porous membranes for the removal of heavy
metals. The main disadvantage of this process is the
generation of sludge.
39. 3.NANOFILTATION
Nanofiltartion can be positioned between reverse osmosis and
ultrafiltration.
This process is used where the high salt rejection of reverse
osmosis is not necessary.
It is capable of removing hardness elements such as calcium or
magnesium together with bacteria, viruses, and colour.
It operated on lower pressure than reverse osmosis and
treatment cost is lower than RO.
Preferred when permeate with TDS but without colour, COD
and hardness is acceptable.
Nanofiltration membranes are similar to reverse
osmosis membranes in several respects except the
degree of removal of monovalent ions such as chlorides
etc.

42. ADAVNCED OXIDATION PROCESSES (AOP)
Conventional oxidation treatment have found difficulty to oxidize
dyestuffs and complex structure of organic compounds:
At low concentration or
If they are especially refractory to the oxidants.
AOP processes are combination of :
- Ozone (O3),
- Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and
- UV radiation, which showed the greatest promise
These oxidants effectively decolorized dyes, however did not remove
COD completely.
The goal of any AOPs design is to generate and use hydroxyl free
radical (HO·) as strong oxidant to destroy compound that can not be
oxidized by conventional oxidant.
43. OZONATION
Ozone is a powerful oxidant agent for water and wastewater.
Once dissolved in water, ozone reacts with a great number of
organic compounds in two different ways:
By direct oxidation as molecular ozone or
By indirect reaction through formation of secondary
oxidants like hydroxyl radical.
The conventional fine bubble contactor is the most widely
ozone generator used because of the high ozone transfer
efficiency (90%) and high performance.
Results presented by a few researchers revealed that ozone
decolorize all dyes, except nonsoluble disperse and vat dyes
which react slowly and take longer time.
Colour removal using ozonation from textile wastewater is
depended on dye concentration.
44. According to Rein (2001), conventional ozonation of organic
compounds does not completely oxidize organics to CO2 and
H2O in many cases.
Remaining intermediate products in some solution after
oxidation may be as toxic as or even more toxic than initial
compound and UV radiation could complete the oxidation
reaction by supplement the reaction with it.
O3/UV is the most effective method for decolorizing of dyes
comparing with UV oxidation by UV or ozonation alone.
(Hung-Yee and Ching-Rong (1995))
O3/UV treatment is recorded to be more effective compared to
ozone alone, in terms of COD removal.
O3/UV
45. H2O2/UV
Oxidization of the textile wastewater with H2O2 alone has been
found ineffective at both acid and alkali values (Olcay et al.,
1996),
Under UV radiation, H2O2 are photolyzed to form two hydroxyl
radicals (2OH•) that react with organic contaminants (Crittenden
et al., 1999).
Nonefficient colour removal at alkaline pH
Therefore the instantaneous concentration in HO* is lower than
expected.
Furthermore, the H2O2/UV process is more sensitive to the
scavenging effect of carbonate at higher pH values.
46. O3/H2O2
The addition of both hydrogen peroxide and ozone to wastewater
accelerates the decomposition of ozone and enhancing production
of the hydroxyl radical.
At higher pH, even very small concentration of H2O2 will be
dissociated into HO2¯ ions that can initiate the ozone
decomposition more effectively than OH ¯ ion.
H2O2/O3 treatment of synthetic dye house highly depended on
the pH of the effluent.
It is documented that it was 74% ozone absorption at pH 11.5
(and 10 mM H2O2) whereas at the same concentration of H2O2
and pH 2.5, ozone absorption was only 1
Complete decolourization of C.I. Reactive Blue 220 and C.I.
Reactive Yellow 15 using H2O2 /O3 process is achieved in 90 min
(Tanja et al., 2003).
47. O3/H2O2/UV
The addition of H2O2 to the O3/UV process accelerates the
decomposition of ozone, which results in an increased rate of OH•
generation.
Among all AOPs, for dye house wastewater and acetate, polyester
fiber dyeing process effluent; combination of H2O2/O3/UV appeared to
be the most efficient in terms of decolouration.
COD removal efficiency of raw textile wastewater increased from
18% to 27% by using sequential ozonation and H2O2/UV.
In the case of bio-treated textile effluent, a preliminary ozonation step
increased COD removal of the H2O2/UV-C treatment system from 15%
to 62%.
99% COD removal from acetate and polyester fiber dyeing process
effluent in batch mode operation(O3/H2O2/UV in 90 min) was achieved.
In raw textile effluent, TOC removal rate was accelerated from 14%
(H2O2/UV-C) and 17% (O3) to 50%.
48. BENEFITS OF ADVANCE TREATMENT METHODS
Recover water and salt.
Low TDS water when used in textile processing minimizes
consumption of sequestering agents.
Corrosion and scale formation can be minimized
Efficiency of boiler can be improved
Reusing Brine in dyeing requires less additional salt.
Reduce problems relating to disposal of high TDS effluents

Editor's Notes
Removal of bacteria, salts, sugars, proteins, particles, dyes, and other constituents that have a molecular weight of greater than 150-250 Daltons. The separation of ions with reverse osmosis is aided by charged particles. This means that dissolved ions that carry a charge, such as salts, are more likely to be rejected by the membrane than those that are not charged, such as organics.
The applied pressures has to be high enough to overcome the osmotic pressure of the stream, and to provide a pressure driving force for water to flow from the reject compartment through the membrane into the clear water compartment.
Low TDS water when used in textile processing minimizes consumption of sequestering agents. which are added to suppress effect of TDS in chemical treatment of cloth
