Abstract

In this study, textile wastewater has been characterized and was found to contain very high colour and total organic carbon (TOC). Fenton, Electro-Photo Fenton reagents along with combination of natural coagulants were examined for the degradation of textile dye at various dose rate and pH. The results showed that Fenton reagent at a dose rate of 0.2 mL FeSO4 (0.25 N), 5 mL H2O2 and 0.5 mL H2SO4 gave best reduction of colour 87 % and TOC 56 %. Electrophoto Fenton was found to be effective for treatment of textile wastewater but expensive as it required energy. Sludge obtained after treatment was made metal free by acid digestion and then converted into compost. Best compost was prepared from metal free sludge in combination with dry leaves and sewerage sludge containing organic matter 91.27 %, cation exchange capacity 80 meq/100 g and C/N ratio18: 17.
