Textile wastewater treatment using a membrane bioreactor

Textile dye wastewater has always been cleaned by means of several useful techniques but, due to its complex composition, there is still no adequate universal cleaning process. The aim of the work was to clean a laboratory – prepared wastewater using MBR and to determine its effectiveness regarding wastewater treatment, and the removal of colour. The use of a membrane bioreactor (MBR), based on the biodegradation of textile wastewater by activated sludge in combination with the physical process of membrane filtration, has become particularly interesting because of its number of advantages during textile wastewater treatment, and has thus rapidly developed over the last decade.
