Abstract

A laboratory scale setup was used to remove color from real textile wastewater (TWW) using nano CuO coated electrochemically generated sludge and nano CuO coated GAC. ECC studies were conducted in batch-mode to generate sludge treating real TWW using pre-optimized 4SS electrodes using a 1.5L reactor operated at cell voltage of 18V and current density 180A/m2 at an agitation speed of 500 rpm for 60 min. electrolysis time. SEM, FTIR and XRD analysis confirmed CuO material successfully coated/decorated on electrochemically generated sludge of size ~0.3-0.5 mm and GAC of size ~0.5 mm. To check the color removal efficiencies from TWW the batch adsorption studies were conducted for adsorbent dose, stirring time and pH. The optimal operating conditions achieved at pH-4, dose of 0.6g/L and 30 min. contact time for CuO-sludge nano-adsorbent achieving 50-55% color removal. Similarly, for CuO-GAC nano-adsorbent the optimal conditions obtained at
