Abstract

Textile industry is one of the most polluted industries in terms of wastewater generation in India. As it consumes huge amount of water for different process at the same time generates large quantity of wastewater. Several textile industries in India use variety of synthetic dyes for the processing of textiles. Textile wastewater is rich in colour along with high chemical oxygen demand (COD). In addition, it also contains residues of dyes and chemicals. These dyes are organic compounds which are acidic or alkaline in nature. If this waste water directly discharges in any water receiving body it can damage the aquatic system. Furthermore, the organic compounds which are present in textile dyeing effluent having carcinogenic effects may come in contact. Our emphasis is to treat textile wastewater by electrocoagulation. Electrocoagulation has been suggested as an alternative to other traditional treatment methods that are being used in different industries. Electrocoagulation has gained more interest because it avoids the formation of secondary pollutants.
