Municipal Wastewater Recycling In Cotton Textile Wet Processing A Review

Abstract

Abstract-The global water crisis is emerging as one of the most serious natural resource issues facing the world today. For the water consuming industry, water is no longer regarded as a consumable or utility but as a highly valuable asset. Water is a vital element used in close conjunction with the production processes. Water is a high value resource and it is directly related to economy as well. Due to scarcity of water, the recycling of wastewater is becoming the necessity. Water recycling is important from economical and sustainable point of view, but it must be realized in a proper way while improving product quality and process stability at the same time. The textile industry is the biggest water consuming sector. Therefore use of treated municipal wastewater in textile wet processing and implementing water conservation techniques in production process of fabric are important to overcome the scarcity of water. Many researchers, scientist and scholars dedicated their knowledge in several aspects of wastewater recycling and reuse in different sectors of textiles. Review carried out here covers research work done by distinguished investigators from all over the world.
