Reducing the Environmental Impact of Textile Dyes Containg Wastewater by Photocatalytic Degradation with Zincoxide Nanocoated Fibers

Abstract

In textile wastewater, strong color is an important witch component and is very difficult to deal with. The experiments concerning color removal have been done by many researches using a variety of treatments like activated carbon, sodium hyperchloride or other chemicals as agents. Semiconductor photocatalytic oxidation of organic substances can be an alternative to conventional methods of removal of organic pollutants from water. In this research work, an attempt has been made to process to reduce the negative impact caused by pollutants from sewage factors of textile dyeing. There are presented aspects related to possible technological solutions discoloration of the water from the dyeing process with acid dyes (CI Acid Red 127) using zinc oxide nanocoated fibrous nanocomposites, as well as the wastewater management for minimizing the environmental impact in case of potentially polluting processes.The effectiveness of zinc oxide-mediated solar photocatalytic degradation of the acid dye and treatment of a textile dye wastewater were examined.
