Textile industry is one of the most chemically intensive industries on the earth and the major polluter of
potable water. It generates huge quantities of complex chemical substances as a part of unused materials
including dyes in the form of wastewater during various stages of textile processing. The direct discharge
of this wastewater into environment affects its ecological status by causing various undesirable changes.
As environmental protection becomes a global concern, industries are nding novel solutions for
developing technologies that can diminish the environmental damage. However, colour removal from
textile wastewater by means of cheaper and environmental friendly technologies is still a major challenge. In this manuscript, several options of decolourisation of textile wastewater by chemical means
have been reviewed. Based on the present review, some novel pre-hydrolysed coagulants such as Polyaluminium chloride (PACl), Polyaluminium ferric chloride (PAFCl), Polyferrous sulphate (PFS) and Polyferric chloride (PFCl) have been found to be more effective and suggested for decolourisation of the
textile wastewater. Moreover, use of natural coagulants for textile wastewater treatment has also been
emphasised and encouraged as the viable alternative because of their eco-friendly nature.

1. Introduction
Textile industries are one of the biggest users of water and
complex chemicals during textile processing at various processing
stages. The unused materials from the processes are discharged as
wastewater that is high in colour, biochemical oxygen demand
(BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), pH, temperature, turbidity
and toxic chemicals. The direct discharge of this wastewater into
the water bodies like lakes, rivers etc. pollutes the water and affects
the ora and fauna. Efuent from textile industries contains
different types of dyes, which because of high molecular weight
and complex structures, shows very low biodegradability (Hsu and
Chiang, 1997; Pala and Tokat, 2002; Kim et al., 2004; Gao et al.,
2007). Also, the direct discharge of this industrial efuent into
sewage networks produces disturbances in biological treatment

i.e., the separation of the dye molecule into its components or atoms
and to form salts with either acid or alkali. They can also belong to the
classes of reactive, acid, basic, direct, mordant, disperse, pigment, vat,
anionic, sulphur and disperse dye (Welham, 2000). Anthraquinone
dyes possess wide range of colours in the whole visible spectrum and
constitute the second most important class of textile dyes after azo
dyes, which are used to give blue, green and violet colours (Christie,
2001; Fontenot et al., 2003). The characteristics of different dyes that
are used widely in the textile industry have been summarised in
Table 2. It has been observed from the Table 2 that reactive dyes are
widely used to colour the cotton which contribute as half of the
worldwide textile-ber market. The reactive dyes that are used for
cotton, show poorest rate of xation due to which textile efuent
possesses strong colour. The chemical structure of different azo dye,
vat dye and anthraquinone dye molecules comprising of auxochrome
and chromophore has been illustrated in Fig. 3.

textile wastewaters
Plenty of Physico-chemical methods in the form of pretreatment, post treatment or main treatment have been investigated by

(Van der Zee, 2002). The main drawback is high sludge generation
due to the occulation of reagents and dye molecules (Robinson
et al., 2001; Azbar et al., 2004). Most of the AOP for textile wastewaters are highly expensive and its effectiveness varies widely with
the type of constituents present in the textile wastewaters. Also,
from the several reports it is observed that the in some cases, at
certain conditions, these technologies give very attractive results,
however, in some other cases, their application has been reported
not worthy considering the cost and complexity involved in these
technologies.
Chemical coagulation and occulation in wastewater treatment
involves the addition of chemicals to alter the physical state of
dissolved and suspended solids and facilitate their removal by
sedimentation. In some cases the alteration is slight, and removal is
affected by entrapment within a voluminous coagulate consisting
mostly the coagulant itself. Another result of chemical addition is
a net increase in the dissolved constituents in the wastewater.
Coagulation is used for removal of the waste materials in suspended or colloidal form that do not settle out on standing or may
settle by taking a very long time. In water treatment, coagulation as
pretreatment is regarded as the most successful pretreatment
(Huang et al., 2009; Leiknes, 2009).
Coagulation of dye-containing wastewater has been used for
many years as main treatment or pretreatment due to its low
capital cost (Anjaneyulu et al., 2005; Golob et al., 2005). However,
the major limitation of this process is the generation of sludge and
ineffective decolourisation of some soluble dyes (Anjaneyulu
et al., 2005; Hai et al., 2007). Further, the sludge production can
be minimised if only a small volume of highly coloured efuent
treated directly after the dyeing bath (Golob et al., 2005). The
reasons could be the non-availability of other chemical additives
except hydrolysing and xing agents in the efuent coming from
dyeing bath. The chemical additives that are normally present in
the textile wastewaters provide hindrance to the colour removal.
If interfering chemical additives are absent in the textile wastewater except colour causing dyes, then less coagulant dosage
might be required which in turns will reduce the sludge
production.
On account of this, coagulation of water soluble dyes is
challenging due to their high solubility. Further, due to development of synthesis technology, large number of innovative
dyes with complex structures have been synthesised and still in
process of synthesis, which provides difculties for the selection
of appropriate coagulant (Yu et al., 2002). In general colour
removal decreases with increase in dye concentration and dye
solubility (Bouyakoub et al., 2009; Zahrim et al., 2010). Therefore, re-evaluation of optimum conditions for coagulation of
different types of dyes is necessary. Moreover, the effectiveness
of the coagulation can be improved by appropriate selection of
coagulant, occulant aids, optimization of process parameters
such as pH, dosage of coagulant/occulant aids, mixing time,
settling time, etc. The relative advantages and disadvantages of
different physico-chemical methods have been summarised
in Table 3.

lower coagulant dosage requirement, efciency at low temperature and produce small volume of sludge whereas inorganic
polymers and chemical coagulants generally involve higher cost,
less biodegradability and toxicity. For example, acrylamide is very
much toxic and gives severe neurotoxic effects (Bratby, 2007).
Toxicity effect due to cationic polymers to the plants has been
established long back (Gao et al., 2001). In this connection, Bolto
and Gregory (2007) also reported that anionic and nonionic
polymers are generally less toxic as compared to cationic polymers especially to aquatic organisms. The major advantage of
natural polymer is its non-toxicity to the environment and
biodegradability. Therefore, the efuent after natural polymer
treatment can be treated by biological means, if required. This
efuent will not pose any harm to the biological organisms, as is
offered, if it is treated by means of synthetic coagulants. Not only
this, the sludge generated by the natural polymers can further be
treated biologically or can be disposed off safely as soil conditioners because of their non-toxicity. Hence, there is an urgent
need to establish the use of natural low cost polymers for textile
wastewater treatment.
In the view of this, many researchers have studied the effectiveness of various natural coagulants (Joshi and Nanoti, 1999)
extracted from plants or animals (Christman, 1967) for the treatment of textile wastewater. These natural coagulants may also
prove their effectiveness if used as coagulant aids along with the
chemical coagulants. Most of the natural coagulants fall under the
category of polysaccharides, hence also termed as polymeric
coagulants. On the basis of the origin of production, natural coagulant can be divided in to three categories as shown in Fig. 5. Unlike
synthetic coagulants, natural coagulants generally exhibit two
types of mechanism namely i) adsorption and charge neutralisation, and ii) adsorption and interparticle bridging. As their molecular weight is high and contain long chained structure, therefore
offers a large number of available adsorption sites. Adsorption and
charge neutralisation refers to the sorption of two oppositely
charged ions, while interparticle bridging occurs when polysaccharide chain of coagulant sorbs the particulates (Miller et al.,
2008). The existence of adsorption and interparticle bridging
between dye molecules and polysaccharides is due to the interaction of p- electron system of dyes and OH group of polysaccharides (Fig. 6), which was rst suggested by Yoshida et al.

Meyers, 2000; Kurita, 2006; Renault et al., 2009) have studied the
effectiveness of animal extracted polymer as coagulants for
industrial wastewater treatment.
5.2. Animal based polymers as coagulants
Chitosan is a linear copolymer of D-glucosamine (deacetylated
unit) and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (acetylated unit) produced by
the deacetylation of chitin, a natural polymer of major importance
(Roberts, 1992; Kurita, 2006). The degree of deacetylation can be
determined by NMR spectroscopy. Chitin is the structural element
in the exoskeleton of crustaceans (crabs, shrimps etc.) and in the
endoskeleton of other invertebrate.
Chitosan possesses several intrinsic properties such as nontoxicity, its biodegradability and its outstanding chelation
behavior that make it an effective coagulant and/or occulant for
removal of contaminant in the dissolved state. Various studies for
treatment of industrial wastewater using chitosan have been
carried out during late 70s by Bough and coworkers (Bough, 1975,
1976; Bough et al., 1978). They have investigated the effectiveness
of chitosan for coagulation and recovery of suspended solids (SS) in
processing of waste from variety of food processing industries and
found that this novel coagulant is very much effective for efcient
reduction of COD as well as removal of SS and turbidity. Numerous
works claim that chitosan involved in a dual mechanism including
coagulation by charge neutralisation and occulation by bridging
mechanism (No and Meyers, 2000; Guibal and Roussy, 2007). The
possible interactions between dye molecules and chitosan have
been shown in Fig. 8. Zhang et al. (1995) have used carboxymethyl
chitosan for printing and dyeing wastewater treatment. The
experimental results showed that, carboxymethyl chitosan in
wastewater decolourisation and COD reduction, are superior over
other commonly used polymer occulants. Szygula et al. (2009)
reported approximately 99% colour removal from the simulated
textile wastewater containing Acid Blue 92 at an optimum chitosan
dosage of 100 mg/L maintaining optimum pH of 9. In continuation
of this, Mahmoodi et al. (2011) investigated the effectiveness of
chitosan for removal of Acid Green 25 and Direct Red 23 and reported approximately 75% and 95% dye removal respectively in
10 min at optimum pH 2 maintaining the stirring speed of 200 rpm.

Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide, derived from the bacterial
coat of Xanthomonas campestris, used as food additive and rheology
modier (Davidson, 1980). It is produced by the fermentation of
glucose by the X. campestris bacterium. After fermentation, the
polysaccharide is separated from the growth medium with the help

chemical oxidation technologies, chemical coagulation and occulation is still a cost-comparative alternative for the treatment of
industrial textile wastewaters and is widely practiced by the small
to large scale industries. Among chemical coagulation and occulation technologies, comparatively, pre-hydrolysed coagulants such
as PACl, PFCl, PFS and PAFCl may be considered as the better
coagulants because of their superior colour removal even at small
dosage and affectivity at wider pH range of wastewater. Ferrous
sulfate may also be considered as a better coagulant over other
hydrolysing metallic salts. Additionally, due to some novel properties of natural coagulants such as non-toxic, biodegradability,
environment friendly, ability to encapsulate etc., these may also be
considered as the promising coagulants as well as coagulant aids
for textile wastewater treatment specially at rst stage, which will
not hinder the biological treatment (if required) because the
residual coagulant may act as nutrient for the microorganisms.
However, till date the applicability of these natural coagulants for
the textile wastewater is very limited. More and more studies
required to evaluate their application for colour removal of textile
wastewaters particularly, their behaviour at high pH of textile
wastewaters.
