Abstract:
Textile production involves several processes (for example, sizing fibers, removing
contaminants, bleaching, washing, rinsing, mercerization, and finishing), which result in
large amount of wastewater. The most characteristic of textile wastewater is its strong color
due to remaining dyes. Approximately 15% of entire dye production is gone during
synthesis and processing, the fundamental source of this loss is in wastewater due to
incomplete depletion which cause severe damages to the environment, human health and
other living organisms. Many traditional methods have been used such as physical,
chemical and biological. Newly advanced oxidation technology recognized as
photocatalysis used to remove persistent microorganisms and organic compounds. It is a
technology with great potential, an environmentally friendly and sustainable low-cost
treatment technology.
The objective of this research is to synthesize low cost, sustainability and efficient
hybrid carbon soot TiO2 compound using a simple synthesis strategy to overcome the
problems which accord in conventional wastewater treatment technologies. The potential
of low-cost carbon soot based TiO2 has been investigated as resource to remove Congo Red
from synthetic textile wastewater. The Carbon Soot based TiO2 adsorb almost 92% of
Congo Red from wastewater of textile in just 10 mins. The Carbon Soot created by TiO2
shows a high dye removal efficacy (80%) in TWW. Similarly, Carbon Soot created by TiO2
showed 69 Percent efficiency to remove dye for the next renaissance cycle. The results
demonstrated a Carbon Soot based TiO2 can be an auspicious alternate adsorbent to affluent
activated carbon to treating TWW
