Abstract

The AdOPBio project aims to develop a decolouring and recycling treatment of the wastewaters in the textile finishing industry, based on two alternative methods: Advance Oxidation Processes (UV-activated photolysis of hydrogen peroxide and thermal activated oxidation process) for the decolouration of the spent bath, combined with a bioflotation process for the destruction of the residual organic load. The combination of these wastewater treatments is expected to achieve a complete decolourisation of the process waters for every type of wet process (finishing, bleaching, dyeing, etc.). The project will also develop and implement a process-control software based on artificial neural network and systems dynamics. Research centres in collaboration with textile finishing companies and suppliers of dyeing machines and wastewater treatment equipment will develop a prototype that will be tested and validated by the end-user companies (textile finishing companies) in order to accumulate experiences and improve the capability of the plant to match a wide range of industrial needs.

The project includes all the steps in developing a wastewater treatment unit such as:

• modelling and laboratory investigations of AOP and bioflotation processes
• design and manufacture of AOP and bioflotation reactors
• design and manufacture of a dyeing machine, interfaced with both AOP reactors
• implementation of an ANN-based process control software
• interfacing the dyeing machine with the bioflotation treatment plant
• tests of the plant in and industrial validation of the decolouring and recycling process
