Physico-chemical characteristics of textile effluent collected from Erode, Pallipalayam and Bhavani polluted regions, Tamilnadu, India

Abstract

The present study perceives that textile dye effluents of Erode, Pallipalayam, and Bhavani region have substantial volume of electrical conductivity, pH, total dissolved solids, chemical oxygen demand, biological oxygen demand, sodium chloride, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and heavy metals. The results point out that irrespective of the source, effluent properties exceeded permissible limits by the WHO/Food and Agriculture Organization/ Federal Environmental Protection Agency for irrigation. The textile industry consumes a mixture of chemicals and huge amount of water during the production process. About 200 L of water are used to produce 1 kg of textile. The textile effluent can cause several health infections such as hemorrhage, ulceration of skin, nausea, skin irritation, and dermatitis.

Sustainable Wastewater Treatment via Dye–Surfactant Interaction: A Critical Review

“…The situation is bolstered to more deterioration, when the wastewater containing noxious dyes and chemicals are disposed of in the environment without proper treatment . Many studies ,− have been conducted dealing with characterization of TW generated at different stages of textile processes while processing different fibers. Table summarizes process-based pollutants including parameters used to assess water qualities. , In addition to the mentioned contaminants, the presence and intensity of some other perilous chemicals such as phenols, chlorine, chlorides, phosphate, sulfates, sulfides, carbonate, bicarbonate, nitrate, nitrite, ammonium, etc.…”

Impact assessment of textile effluent on health and microbiota of agricultural soil in Bhagwanpur (Uttarakhand), India

“…On the other hand, soil from the control site exhibited pH 7.3. This slight shift in pH may be attributed to the continuous release of textile effluents containing bicarbonates and other alkaline chemicals [39,40]. Electrical conductivity (EC), another important parameter also exhibited similar trend.…”

Characterization of Physicochemical Parameters of Textile Effluents and Its Impacts on Environment

“…The result shows that sample 7 is under the Bureau of Indian Standards permissible level of 100 mg/L, while other samples are beyond the permissible limit ( Figure 6). Sathiyaraj et al (2017) also found the TSS value of effluents from textile dyeing units and common effluent treatment plants (CETPS) of Erode, Pallipalayam, and Bhavani of Tamil Nadu were high in the range of 222-896 mg/L. The high value of TSS increases sedimentation rates and turbidity level of water, thereby influencing the oxygen demand and reducing photosynthesis.…”
