Abstract
Discoloration of Batik Effluent by Chemically Modified Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch Fibers
Highlights
Dyes are widely used in industries such as in textile, rubber, paper, plastics, cosmetics and other industries
Since the biodegradation of dyes is quite ineffective, wastewater from textile industry has gained a strict attention from the authority (Ganesh et al 1994; Weber & Adams 1995)
The purpose of this study is to identify the appropriate treatment and modification of empty fruit bunch (EFB) fibers by cationic and anionic surface functionalization
Summary
Dyes are widely used in industries such as in textile, rubber, paper, plastics, cosmetics and other industries. The textile is second largest demands after food (Ranganathan et al 2007). It is recognized that the public perception of the water quality is always influenced by the color. Color is the first contaminant recognized in wastewater (Banat et al 1996). Since the biodegradation of dyes is quite ineffective, wastewater from textile industry has gained a strict attention from the authority (Ganesh et al 1994; Weber & Adams 1995). There are many ways to treat wastewater effluent have been proposed and used in decolorize dyes from wastewater, JK 30 SI1(4) Bab 11.indd 87
