Experimental Investigations on k/s values of Remazol reactive dyes used for dyeing of cotton fabric with recycled wastewater

ABSTRACT Textile industry is water intensive due to varied operations in processing of fabric. Many of textile's operations like bleaching, Mercerizing, dyeing etc. require abundant water to process it. In present study attempt has been made to use the recycled municipal wastewater for dying operation in cotton fabric. As textile processing operations are using more water, it is necessary to have required water source. Now a days fresh water sources have to be utilized very carefully due to increasing urbanization. Treated Municipal wastewater which is disposed to any water body on opry land. This water can be further treated and used for textile processing. In this research treated municipal wastewater was given treatment in pilot scale plant and dyeing of cotton fabric was carried out with reactive dyes. This paper encompasses ANOVA study of the k/s values of all dyed fabric samples using pilot plant water Keywords: k/s values, recycled municipal wastewater, Remazol dyes, cotton fabric, ANNOVA
