ELECTROCOAGULATION TREATMENT OF TEXTILE INDUSTRY DYE WASTEWATER USING IRON AND ALUMINIUM ELECTRODES: PERFORMANCE EVALUATION AND OPTIMIZATION
Electrocoagulation with aluminium and iron electrodes for dye removal from textile wastewater. Factories making cloth rank high in globalwater use, releasing tinted waste flows capableof harming rivers and people. One way explored here involves cleaning such runoff - pulled straight from Morarjee Textile Industry at Butibori with electrocoagulation. Tests used fake mixes colored with Alizarine Cyanine Green, set at 5, then 10, finally 15 parts per million. These ran through small setups where metal sheets made of iron or aluminum helped trigger reactions. Instead of linking steps with shifts occurred via timing tweaks - from ten right up to two hours - or voltage nudging between ten and thirty volts. Current strength moved across one to twoamps; space separating plates adjusted justslightly, from a centimeter to nearly half more.Each change tracked how well color faded under different pushes.
