WASTEWATER TREATMENT (page 2 of 5)     1 2 3 4 5
• Demonstration of Automated Dyebath Reuse in a Production Facility by Beth White, Wayne C. Tincher, and James L. Clark (Textile Chemist & Colorist, December 1998). Significant water, chemical, and energy savings were demonstrated with the reuse of spent dyebaths in trials.
• Direct Dye Adsorption by Granular Activated Carbon and Water Hyacinth Powder by Winai Somboon, Vanida Bhavakul, and Suntud Sirianuntapiboon (AATCC Review, April 2004). A method for decolorizing low volumes of wastewater was developed.
• Dry Scouring Greasy Wool to Reduce Water Pollution by George H. Robertson and James P. Morgan (Textile Chemist & Colorist, May 1973). Cleaning of greasy wool by adsorption of melted grease on a reusable plastic adsorbent is described.
• Effects of 46 Dyes on Population Growth of Freshwater Green Alga Selenastrum capricornutum Joseph C. Greene, George L. Baughman (Textile Chemist & Colorist, April 1996). Toxicity of textile mill effluent on plant life was studied.
• Federal Assistance Available to Companies Establishing Pollution Control Programs by William J. Lacy and Allen Cywin (Textile Chemist & Colorist, March 26, 1969). The dynamic growth of the Federal Water Pollution Control Administration s research and development program is presented.
• Granular Activated-Carbon Assisted Ozonation of Biotreated Dyehouse Effluent by Idil Arslan-Alaton (AATCC Review, May 2004). The effect of granular activated carbon on refractory COD and color removal from biologically treated dyehouse effluent was investigated.
• Oxidative Decolorization of Dyes in Aqueous Medium by Warren S. Perkins (Textile Chemist and Colorist & American Dyestuff Reporter, December 1999). The ability to eliminate or lower the amount of color in textile wastewater will have an influence on the viability of textile manufacturing.
