WASTEWATER TREATMENT (page 1 of 5)     1 2 3 4 5
• 1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene: Biodegradable or Not? by P. Simmons, D. Branson, and R. Bailey (Textile Chemist & Colorist, September 1977). This study shows that 1,2,4-TCB is biodegradable. It also examines some of the other properties that govern the persistence of 1,2,4-TCB in water and influence its fate in the environment.
• Analysis of Dyes in Textile Dyeing Wastewater by Wayne C. Tincher and James R. Robertson (Textile Chemist & Colorist, December 1982). An analytical system has been developed for determining concentrations of acid and disperse dyes in dyehouse wastewater.
• Analysis of Sulfonated Azo Dyes Degraded by White Rot Fungus Pleurotus ostreatus by Yiping Lu (AATCC Review, January 2006). The student winner of the Herman and Myrtle Goldstein award discusses the microbial treatment of environmental pollutants as an alternative wastewater treatment and proposes a degradation pathway.
• Biological Treatability and Environmental Impact of Ozonation of Spent Reactive Dyebaths by Warren S. Perkins, S. Edward Law, Matthew C. Smith, Parley V. Winger, and Peter J. Lasier (AATCC Review, February 2001). The effect of ozonation of spent Reactive Dyebaths on biological wastewater systems and aquatic toxicity of effluents from the wastewater treatment plant was determined.
• Characterization and Treatment of Textile Dyeing Wastewaters by Roderick H. Horning (Textile Chemist & Colorist, April 1977). Treatability of wastewaters, from selected typical dyebaths by biological, chemical and physical means is discussed.
• Conservation of Chemicals, Water, and Energy Through Dyebath Reuse in Polyester Fiber Dyeing by M. Chakraborty and D. K. Sharma (AATCC Review, October 2001). Reuse of reconstituted dyebaths in polyester fiber dyeing resulted in dye and auxiliary chemical savings as well as reduced discharge of pollutants.
