Water and wastewater solutions for textile industry - Textile

Textile industry is one of the most polluting industries not only due to the high water consumption, but also due to the wide variety of substrates and chemicals used in different process steps. These processes generate large volumes of strongly colored waste waters with high load of toxic organic and inorganic compounds. Nowadays, due to the increasing environmental requirements, textile industry needs to adopt a sustainable approach, where at least 90% of the used chemicals are recycled or treated before their release in the environment. Ceramic Membrane-based separation processes have gradually become an attractive alternative to the conventional separation processes in the treatment of wastewater, since their application allow high removal efficiencies and also provide recovery and recycling of water and chemicals.
