Abstract
In recent decades, textile industrial sectors are getting increasing interest worldwide in global contest due to the diverse and changing world market conditions in terms of price, design, ease of handling, durability, and product safety. The increasing ecological and health concerns related to the use of large amounts of dyes (Synthetic as well as natural) in textile industries to counter the growing demands of people lead to the design, development and establishment of new dyeing strategies; and technologies in addition of reducing the load of effluents in wastewaters. Textile industrial sectors and its associated wastewaters have become an increasing cause of main sources of severe pollution worldwide. The effluents produced from these textile wet processing industries are very diverse in chemical composition, ranging from inorganic finishing agents, surfactants, chlorine compounds, salts, total phosphate to polymers and organic products. Most of the techniques used for removal of dye effluents from wastewaters were physico-chemical methods which are costly and cause an accumulation of concentrated sludge. Hence there is need to develop alternative treatments plans and strategies that are are cost effective and environmentally benign. In this paper authors review the advancements in eco-friendly and sustainable technologies used for minimizing the negative environmental impact of wastewater from textile sectors by biological and combination systems.
