Abstract
Textile industry is one of the major industries in the world that play a major role in the economy of many countries. Wastewater discharges from textile industries are highly colored which contains various polluting substances including synthetic dyes, chemicals, etc., causing severe health hazards to humans, animals, plants, as well as microorganisms. This highly colored textile wastewater severely affects photosynthetic function in plant as well as aquatic life by eutrophication. So, this textile wastewater must be treated before their discharge. In this chapter, different treatment methods to treat the textile wastewater have been presented such as physical methods (adsorption, ion exchange, and membrane filtration), chemical methods (chemical precipitation, coagulation and flocculation, chemical oxidation), and biological methods (aerobic and anaerobic). This chapter also recommends the possible eco-friendly approaches for treating diverse types of effluent generated from textile operation.
