The main objective of this study is to focus on the removal of colour and chemical oxygen demand (COD) from the secondary treated effluent (SE) and reverse osmosis (RO) concentrate, using Fenton oxidation as an advanced oxidation process. In order to identify the feasibility and economics, the experiments were conducted in these two streams of the textile-based effluent treatment plant. In this study, COD and colour removal efficiencies were observed as 75% and 94% in the SE and 85% and 99% in the RO concentrate respectively. After comparing the operating cost between these two streams, treating of SE with Fenton oxidation was found to be an economical, sustainable option for removing the colour and COD from the SE. This option will improve the performance of membrane filtration systems in effluent treatment plants that are based on zero liquid discharge.

The main objective of this study is to focus on the removal of colour and chemical oxygen demand (COD) from the secondary treated effluent (SE) and reverse osmosis (RO) concentrate, using Fenton oxidation as an advanced oxidation process. In order to identify the feasibility and economics, the experiments were conducted in these two streams of the textile-based effluent treatment plant. In this study, COD and colour removal efficiencies were observed as 75% and 94% in the SE and 85% and 99% in the RO concentrate respectively. After comparing the operating cost between these two streams, treating of SE with Fenton oxidation was found to be an economical, sustainable option for removing the colour and COD from the SE. This option will improve the performance of membrane filtration systems in effluent treatment plants that are based on zero liquid discharge.
