Abstract

Conventional fabric finishing processes require huge amounts of energy and water. New finishing processes are developed using a limited amount or no water and reducing the energy consumption. This chapter provides an overview of dry finishing techniques with the potential to be implemented in textile finishing. Finishing companies need to deal with water discharge and its chemical load, air and water emissions, waste, odors, and noise. Waste management should focus primarily on prevention, secondly on reuse, recycling, and revaluation and only if those options fail go to external treatment of waste. An overview of wastewater treatment processes is presented.
