Optimization of Engineering and Process Parameters for Electro-Chemical Treatment of Textile Wastewater

In textile/dye industry, the effluent contains higher chemical oxygen demand (COD) and disposal of this untreated wastewater causes pollution which indeed more toxic for human and aquatic life. Electro-chemical treatment is a simple, reliable and cost-eff

Preface

The magnificence and destiny of humanity are intricately tied to the various processes that shape its environment. However, virtually all aspects of environmental changes remain under the dominant influence of human activity. The fact that many of the resources available today will be further depleted, and many of the environmental sinks that help assimilate waste products become overburdened from continued accumulation, has accelerated the pace of scientific research in the areas of materials, energy and environment. The field is rapidly growing and the resultant technological change has afforded humanity ever more cleverer ways to expand and tap into its resource base, seek and use limited materials and energy more efficiently, and cut down on the emission of many pollutants. However, the speculations that the “demand” would overpower the existing availability of resources owing to
