Abstract
During the last decade, Bhilwara has developed into a leading place in the textile industry in India. The water used in textile industry is almost entirely discharged as waste. The effluents are very complex, containing salt, surfactants, ionic metals and their metal complexes, toxic organic chemicals, biocides, and toxic anions, which are harmful to both flora and fauna existing on our planet. Degradation of these non-biodegradable organic compounds is not possible by conventional treatment processes. The analysis of waste water with different quality parameters and photocatalytic bleaching was examined by using UV light in photochemical reactor with SnO2 catalyst.

Textile and dye-manufacturing industries discharge toxic and non-biodegradable dyes as waste water into the environment
Textile industries are among the most important industries in the world
Five waste water samples of major textile industrial area of Bhilwara were collected from different locations in clean polyethylene bottles
Summary
Textile and dye-manufacturing industries discharge toxic and non-biodegradable dyes as waste water into the environment. The main sources of pollution in textile waste water are dyeing and finishing processes. Textile waste waters are characterised with highly suspended solids, high chemical oxygen demand, dark colour, acidity, heat and other soluble substances.
