Abstract:

Textile industry is one of the most polluting industries as the dyeing process uses large quantity of water and various kinds of dyes. Electrocoagulation has become one of the most promising methods for the treatment of dyeing waste water. In this paper electrocoagulation with iron electrode has been carried out for 40 litres of simulated Blue CA dye (0.04%). The major parameter considered was the reaction time. To reduce the reaction time moringo olifera was added in the process. Initially Electrocoagulation process using iron electrode after 2, 3, 4 and 6 hrs of reaction time shows upto a colour removal efficiency of 99% after 6 hrs. The experiments showed that when moringo olifera was added to the electrocoagulation process the reaction time has been reduced and the colour removal efficiency was 99% immediately after 3hrs of the reaction time.

Keywords:
