INTRODUCTION

ECUVal:

Treatment and reuse of water

Why?


70% of Earth is water

INTRODUCTION

Only 1% of

fresh water

is available

Only 2.5% is fresh water


INTRODUCTION

TEXTILE:

Do you know the water

consumption to produce

1Kg of a textile product?


INTRODUCTION

TEXTILE:

water consumption

Up to 100 L/Kg

Finished product


INTRODUCTION

Distribution of textile finishing production in Europe

INTRODUCTION

Textile fibres

Preparation

of fibres Spinning Weaving

Dyeing, Printing and

Finishing Clothing

Textile product

Dyeing and finishing effluents:

• Coloration

• Salinity

Main environmental problems of textile effluents:

Textile process chain:


73% of total

water

consumption

INTRODUCTION

Biological treatments:

Physico-chemical methods

-Additional treatment required

- Sludge production

- Regeneration of adsorbent

Chemical oxidation methods

- Expensive

- Operacional trouble

Enzymatic methods - Under research

Biologic treatments Inefficient results

Electrochemical methods

- Operate at smooth conditions

- Simple and clean

- The electron is the only reagent

Oxidation

Direct

Indirect oxidation

With active chlorine

Without UV radiation

With UV radiation:

posterior Electro-Fenton

Photo-assisted

Photo-Fenton

Heterogeneous photo-catalysis

(Oxidation) 2Cl- Cl2 (aq) + 2e-

(Reduction) 2H2O + 2e- 2OH- + H2

(Hydrolysis) Cl2 (aq) + 2OH- H2O + ClO- + Cl-

(Mineralisation) Dye + ClO-/ Cl2 (aq) dye fragments CO2 + H2O + Cl-


DESCRIPTION OF THE

TECHNOLOGY

Proposed solution

Photo-electrochemical

system

Electrochemical reactor:

• cell (reactor with electrodes)

• electric power suppy

• oxidation of dyes

Addition of UV irradiation:

• to increase dyes degradation

• to avoid generation of undesirable by-products
