Abstract: The textile industry is one of the most significant contributors to water pollution, with the dyeing and finishing processes being major culprits. The effluent generated from these processes contains various chemicals and dyes that can harm aquatic life and pose a significant threat to human health. Several effluent treatments have been developed to minimise the impact of these effluents on the environment. Fashion is vital to the textile industry supply chain, which determines consumer demand and industrial production. Sustainability requires action from all parts of the chain. Communication and understanding, however, are not always possible due to the different fields of knowledge involved. This overview discloses the available solutions for liquid effluent treatment from textile dyeing and finishing providing a fast, precise and deep understanding of methods such as the Physicochemical and Biological treatments and the recent Advanced Oxidation Processes.
Keywords: textile wastewater, water pollution, effluent treatment, sustainable fashion
