Introduction

Weaving is one of the primary methods of textile production.

It involves interlinking a set of vertical threads with a set of horizontal threads.

Biological treatment Dissolved air floatation Coagulation-flocculation Membrane process

Coagulation Flocculation Chemical coagulants cause formation of

a sludge phase that can be separated by density difference.

Major coagulants: Al2(SO4)3.14H2O (Alum) FeCl3.6H2O Fe2SO4

Destabilization

Electro-coagulation Defined:

Similar to Chemical

Coagulation

Destabilize Charged Particles

Physical Removal (Settling)

Electro-coagulation can remove a wide range of pollutants at the same time:

suspended solids dyes emulsion organic matters heavy metals

Objective

I nvestigating the efficiency of the me thod for treatment of wastewater fro

m water jet loom machine by compar ison between chemical coagulation a

nd electrocoagulation.
