Reuse of wastewater of the textile industry after its treatment with a combination of physico-chemical treatment and membrane technologies

摘要

This work is focused on the treatment of a textile plant wastewater. The industry mainly manufactures socks, stockings and panties, and the water is treated in order to be reused. The wastewater was characterized and jar-tests experiments were carred out with different coagulants and flocculants, at different concentrations and pH in order to obtain clarified water that can be treated by means of ultrafiltration (UF) or nanofiltration (NF). The combination of the physico-chemical treatment and the nanofiltration leads to a COD removal of alsmot 100%.
