The textile industry is a group of related industries which uses a variety of natural (cotton, wool, etc.) and/or synthetic fibres to produce fabric.
Textile effluent is heavily contaminated with pollutants such as dyes, dissolved solids, suspended solids and toxic metals.
The main factor to be considered in textile effluent is total dissolved solids(TDS). Because of the use of common salts and Glauber Salts, the level of TDS increases in textile wastewater.
