Removal of Natural Dyes from Tie Dye Effluent by Coagulation Process

Abstract:

The aim of this research was to find the efficiency ways to treat wastewater from dye tie dye technique by using an effective wastewater treatment system and find out how to implant the technology of the waste water treatment system to help the problems of the community activities which the tie-dye fabric were the major product of their area. The wastewater from the tie-dye industry were collected and were treated with physical, chemistry and biological treatment by using local materials such as sea shell, alum and clay in a laboratory scale. The data from the treatment were used in the designing the small scale water treatment and apply to the study area. Moreover, the treatment technique knowledge will transfer to the community and establish guidelines for community Wastewater treatment. The COD of wastewater from the dying materials of Bark of Xylocarpus granatum, Bark of Sea almond and Bark of Ebony tree seed were 479.2, 428.5, and 564.2 mg/l, respectively. The water quality were improved better up to 83.61% after were treated with the treatment technique. The satisfaction of the community that participate in the training, technology transfer and adoption of guidelines for therapists to use in the community were found that 86 percent had gained the knowledge in wastewater treatment, 95 percent were satisfied and 85 percent of knowledge were benefit to the community, respectively.
