Membrane technology is applied to treat wastewater from textile dyeing processes with reactive
dyes which generate significant amounts of colored effluents with high concentration of electrolyte.
OBJECTIVES
Evaluation of two NF membranes for treatment of synthetic effluents with bi- and tri-reactive dyes.
Treatment of concentrates by means of electrochemical techniques.
Reuse of permeates and concentrates in new dyeing processes.
MEMBRANE TREATMENT
Polyethersulfone nanofiltration membranes:
Hidracore H10 (3000 daltons)
Hidracore H50 (1000 daltons)
NF: Up to 98% dye removal was achieved
Permeates were able to be reused in new dyeing
process. Fabrics dyed with the permeate were evaluated
respect to references carried out with deionised water.
Color differences obtained were into the acceptance
range commonly established by the industry.
ELECTROCHEMICAL TREATMENT
Concentrates containing retained dyes were treated
by electrochemical process in a 2-L undividable cell
with Ti/PtOx electrodes.
After 30 min. of electrochemical treatment almost
100% color removal was achieved.
Decolored concentrates were reused in new dyeing
processes (70% treated effluent and 30% clean
water).
Dyeing obtained with reused concentrated also met
color differences acceptance criterion.
The combination of nanofiltration membrane and electrochemical process enables to treat
and to recover the colored and saline effluents generated by the textile industry
Results of our laboratory and semi-industrial studies
are been transferred to the textile market by means of
the project ECUVal. www.ecuval.eu
