Research: Decontaminating Textile Effluents
Engineering solutions for the decontamination of textile waste waters and effluents using additive manufacturing.
Summary
Research summary
- Project timescale: 2021 - 2022.
Textile waste waters and effluents contain a wide variety of contaminants that can be harmful if discharged to watercourses and the wider environment. There exist many methods to decontaminate textile effluents, however, they each address only specific compounds, which is not practical when these effluents contain a such a wide range of contaminants.
In collaboration with the National Institute of Technology, Warangal, researchers at Manchester Metropolitan University have been awarded a Royal Society International Exchange Award to develop a more efficient method of decontaminating textile waste waters.
Their research is focused on developing a tandem method for the elimination of organic compounds and the filtration of resulting products to produce highly purified water as the end product.
