| Description |
The objective of the present work was to reduce chemical oxygen demand (COD), color of textile effluent
containing dye Procion Blue 2G and recycle the treated effluent. To achieve this objective, the degradation
potential of bacterial strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa was tested. In degradation, the ‘clean’ electro-oxidation
(EO) process was combined with bio-treatment such that an electro-oxidation step was included
between two bio-degradation treatments. Bio-oxidation process was carried out under aerobic and
anoxic conditions. Results showed more than 90% reduction in COD and complete removal of color at
the end of two cycles of combined oxidation process with a post electro-oxidation. The treated effluent
was then subjected to photo-oxidation to remove the microbes so that the water can be recycled after the
removal of total dissolved solids (TDS).
