The processes of textiles
making or wet treatments and the finishing
processes of textile materials are huge
consumers of water with high quality. As a
result of these different processes, significant
amounts of polluted water are released. This
study focuses on the problem of environmental
protection against waste waters generated by
textile industry. The methods of pre-treatment
or purification of waste waters in the textile
industry can be: Primary (screening,
sedimentation, homogenization, neutralization,
mechanical flocculation, chemical coagulation),
Secondary (aerobic and anaerobic treatment,
aerated lagoons, activated sludge process,
trickling filtration, oxidation ditch and pond)
and Tertiary (membrane technologies, adsorption,
oxidation procedure, electrolytic precipitation
and foam fractionation, electrochemical
processes, ion exchange method, photo catalytic
degradation, thermal evaporation). The
assortment of the purification method depends on
the composition and type of waste waters.
