hours).

Reactive dyes can cause respiratory or skin sensitisation problems in
plant workers who manufacture the dyes and textile workers
Reactive Dyes + Human Serum Albumin [HSA]
Dye-HSA conjugate, which acts as an antigen. The antigen produces
specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) and, through the release of chemicals
such as histamine, causes allergic reactions

Chronic Toxicity
Non Genotoxicity
1.Water solubility
Water-soluble molecules are generally excreted rapidly by
a living organism
2.Water Insolubility
Due to the insolubility, toxicants gets large size particles
[0.1 to 3 mm] in the body which are not transported across
cell membranes.[e.g.] Pigments
Genotoxicity
Mutagens
Carcinogens
Teratogens
Toxicants reach the DNA (which resides in the nucleus of the
cell) in order for the chemical to interact with the DNA.
So the toxicants will be able to transport across the protective
cell membranes
Active species of most carcinogens, known as the ultimate
carcinogen, is an electrophile,
E.Nitrenium ion [R2N+]

Carcinogens attack a nucleophilic site in DNA, which may
be a carbon, nitrogen or oxygen atom, to form a covalent
9
chemical bond E + [DNA] or E[DNA]
The toxic effects of the azo dyes may result from the
direct action of the agent itself or of the aryl amine
derivatives generated during reductive biotransformation
of the azo bond.
The azo dyes entering the body by ingestion can be
metabolized to aromatic amines by the azoreductases of
intestinal microorganisms.
If the dyes are nitro, they can be metabolized by the
nitroredutases produced by the same microorganisms.
Mammalian liver enzymes and other organizations may
also catalyze the reductive cleavage of the azo bond and
the nitro reduction of the nitro group.
In both cases, if N-hydroxylamines are formed, these
compounds are capable of causing DNA damage.

SEDIMENTAT
ION
The fine suspended matter passed through the
screens can be removed efficiently and
economically by sedimentation.
This process is particularly useful for treatment
of wastes containing high percentage of
settable solids
The sedimentation tanks are designed to
enable smaller
particles to settle under
gravity.
The settled sludge is removed from the
sedimentation tanks by mechanical scrapping
into hoppers and pumping it out subsequently.
Sedimentation is sometimes combined with
equalization operation.

CHEMICAL COAGULATION/MECHANICAL
FLOCUALTION
Finely divided suspended
solids and colloidal
particles cannot be
efficiently removed by
simple sedimentation by
gravity.
In such cases, mechanical
flocculation or chemical
coagulation is employed.
In mechanical flocculation,
the textile waste water is
passed through a tank
under gentle stirring;
The finely divided
suspended solids coalesce
into larger particles and
settle out.
Specialized equipment
such as clariflocculator is
also available, wherein
flocculation chamber is a
part of a sedimentation
tank.

EXCHANGE
Ion exchange process is normally
used for the removal of inorganic
salts and some specific organic
anionic components such as phenol.
All salts are composed of a positive
ion of a base and a negative ion of
an acid.
Ion exchange materials are capable
of exchanging soluble ions and
cations with electrolyte solutions.

carry a charge, such
as salts, are more
likely to be removed
by the membrane
1.REVERSE OSMOSIS
to pass pure water at fairly high rates and to
reject salts at high pressures through the cellulose
acetate or nylon membrane.
Reverse osmosis can be used as end-of-pipe
treatment and recycling system for effluent.
2.ULTRAFILTRATION
The difference between reverse osmosis and
ultrafiltration is primarily the retention
properties of the membranes.
Reverse osmosis membranes retain all solutes
including salts.
Ultrafiltration membranes retain only macro
molecules and suspended solids.
They are pressure driven membrane
operations that use porous membranes for
the removal of heavy metals. The main
disadvantage of this process is the
generation of sludge.

ultrafiltration.
This process is used where the high salt rejection of reverse
osmosis is not necessary.
It is capable of removing hardness elements such as calcium or
magnesium together with bacteria, viruses, and colour.
It operated on lower pressure than reverse osmosis and
treatment cost is lower than RO.
Preferred when permeate with TDS but without colour, COD
and hardness is acceptable.

ADAVNCED OXIDATION
PROCESSES (AOP)
O3/UV
According to Rein (2001), conventional ozonation of organic
compounds does not completely oxidize organics to CO2 and
H2O in many cases.
Remaining intermediate products in some solution after
oxidation may be as toxic as or even more toxic than initial
compound and UV radiation could complete the oxidation
reaction by supplement the reaction with it.
O3/UV is the most effective method for decolorizing of dyes
comparing with UV oxidation by UV or ozonation alone.
(Hung-Yee and Ching-Rong (1995))
O3/UV treatment is recorded to be more effective compared to
ozone alone, in terms of COD removal.
