Wastewater Recycling In Cotton Textile Wet Processing: An Experimental Study

Textile industry is water intensive industry. Mostly textile wet processing industry use more water for their production. Water is expensive to buy, treat & dispose and as it is becoming a scarce commodity, sustainable developments of the textile industry needs recycling of waste water generated and conservation of water to reduce the water requirements and also dependency on other water sources. As the cost of water supplied to industry keeps increasing, recycling becomes more important. Many textile industries in water scarce areas are installing water recycle plants. Municipal wastewater after treatment is disposed to environment. This abundant water is wasted which can be recycled in to the industry with required amount of treatment. This research paper comprises of experimental analysis of recycling municipal treated wastewater for cotton textile wet processing after a necessary treatment
