granular activated carbon for water wastewater treatment in spain
Textile wastewater is a combination of various chemicals and different types of dyes and has a salty nature. In this study, an SBR (sequencing batch reactor) was used to treat synthetic and real textile wastewaters in a 24 h cycle time. Remazol Brilliant Blue R, a reactive dye, was used asthe model dye. Dye concentrations ranged from 125 mg/L to 500 mg/L, and TDS (total dissolved solids
The activated sludge microorganisms could tolerate high salt concentrations and remove 60% of Brilliant Blue R dye from wastewater at a TDS concentration of 5000 mg/L; thus, SBR as a cost effective treatment system can be used for decolorization of textile wastewater even in saline conditions.
