Recovery of Biologically Treated Textile Wastewater by Ozonation and Subsequent Bipolar Membrane Electrodialysis Process
Summary
This engineering study tested a bipolar membrane electrodialysis process to recover clean water, acid, and base from biologically treated textile wastewater. The process successfully separated salt and produced usable chemicals. This paper focuses on wastewater treatment technology and is not directly related to microplastics.
The Bipolar Membrane Electrodialysis process (BPMED) can produce valuable chemicals such as acid (HCl, H2SO4, etc.) and base (NaOH) from saline and brackish waters under the influence of an electrical field. In this study, BPMED was used to recover wastewater and salt in biologically treated textile wastewater (BTTWW). BPMED process, with and without pre-treatment (softening and ozonation), was evaluated under different operational conditions. Water quality parameters (color, remaining total organic carbon, hardness, etc.) in the acid, base and filtrated effluents of the BPMED process were evaluated for acid, base, and wastewater reuse purposes. Ozone oxidation decreased 90% of color and 37% of chemical oxygen demand (COD) in BTTWW. As a result, dye fouling on the anion exchange membrane of the BPMED process was reduced. Subsequently, over 90% desalination efficiency was achieved in a shorter period. Generated acid, base, and effluent wastewater of the BPMED process were found to be reusable in wet textile processes. Results indicated that pre-ozonation and subsequent BPMED membrane systems might be a promising solution in converging to a zero discharge approach in the textile industry.

Treatment of electroplating wastewater using electrocoagulation and integrated membrane
This study developed an electrocoagulation and membrane filtration system that removes over 99% of heavy metals from industrial wastewater. While not directly about microplastics, the technology is relevant because microplastics in water often carry heavy metals that can leach into drinking water. Improved industrial wastewater treatment reduces the overall toxic burden in water systems that people depend on.
