• Abstract:

  Textile Industries Play A Major Role In Environmental Pollution, Primarily Due To Their Wastewater, Which Is Often Loaded With Dyes, Chemicals, And Other Harmful Pollutants. Tackling The Treatment Of Textile Wastewater Is No Easy Feat, Given The Variety And Stubbornness Of The Pollutants Involved. Traditional Methods Like Activated Sludge And Coagulation-flocculation Frequently Fall Short Of Meeting Strict Discharge Standards, Highlighting The Need For More Effective Solutions. Enter Nano-membranes—these Innovative Tools For Wastewater Treatment In Industrial Settings Are At The Forefront Of Water Purification Technology. This Study Dives Into How Well Polyethersulfone (PES) Membrane Filtration Works In Eliminating Contaminants From Industrial Wastewater. The Experimental Findings Showed Impressive Pollutant Reductions, Achieving Removal Rates Of 93.5% For BOD, 93.3% For COD, 83.4% For TDS, And 96.3% For Suspended Solids. Heavy Metals Saw An 88.8% Reduction, And Turbidity Removal Hit 93.5%. The Membrane Significantly Enhanced Water Quality, Producing Permeate That Complied With Environmental Discharge Standards. This Study Confirms That PES Membrane Filtration Is Not Just Viable But Also An Efficient Method For Treating Industrial Wastewater, Boasting High Removal Rates For Both Organic And Inorganic Contaminants. Further Research Is Suggested To Fine-tune Membrane Lifespan, Cleaning Methods, And Scalability For Larger Applications.
