A Review on Textile Wastewater Characterization in Bangladesh

The textile and apparel industries in Bangladesh are playing an utmost important role offering tremendous opportunities for the economy of Bangladesh. But, hasty and unplanned clustered growth of industries leads to adverse environmental consequence in an alarming way. This work is aimed at giving emphasis on the present pollution scenario in Bangladesh due to textile effluent. The liquid effluents from industries are causing major havoc to the environment, ecology, agriculture, aquaculture and public health since the development of textile industries in the country. In this paper, effluent characterization results of last ten years (2005-2014) are focused. We found physicochemical parameters of Textile effluents in Bangladesh as, Temperature (25-65°C), pH (3.9-14), TDS (90.7 - 5980 mg/L), DO (0-7 mg/L), COD (41-2430…
