What is the News?<\/b><\/h2>\n

NIT Warangal has developed new low cost technology that significantly reduces textile effluent pollution.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Textile effluent?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Textile effluent is heavily contaminated with pollutants such as dyes, dissolved solids, suspended solids and toxic metals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The main factor to be considered in textile effluent is total dissolved solids (TDS).<\/span><\/p>\n

Because of the use of common salt and Glauber salt, the level of TDS increases in textile wastewater.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The direct discharge of textile effluents may increase the level of TDS in groundwater and surface water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The presence of TDS (high or low concentration) in water may affect the osmotic balance, causing swelling or dehydration in aquatic organisms and a change in taste.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The quality of irrigation of water depends on the salt content. When the salt content increases, it contaminates the water and makes it unsuitable for domestic, industrial and agricultural use.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hence, <\/span>there is a need for robust, efficient technologies to treat such effluent before they are discharged into the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

What have the researchers developed?<\/b><\/h2>\n

NIT Warangal has developed a pilot-scale textile effluent treatment plant using biosurfactants (BS), cavitation (a process in which pressure variations in a liquid can in a short period of time cause countless small cavities to form and then implode–C), and membrane (M) technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

This technology offers a sustainable solution for textile effluent by converting the toxic wastewater to an irrigation source for the nearby agricultural areas and holds immense potential for <\/span>replacing existing secondary treatment plants due to its lower installation cost and lesser carbon footprint.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
