Abstract

The textile industry demands substantial volume of water for several activities like dyeing, printing, and finishing. At the end of the processes these industries release huge amount of effluents containing dyes and their components which are not only aromatic but also carcinogenic in nature. Hence the effluents need to be treated for the elimination of dyes and other pollutants before discharge from the industry. High capital cost and less efficiency is the limiting factor for the various physicochemical processes used for the eradication of dye from wastewater. Activated sludge process is extensively used for the secondary treatment of wastewater as it helps in reducing both the chemical and biological oxygen demand with the help of aeration and dense microbial culture. But the generations of large volume of sludge containing residual biodegradation resistant compounds insist for modification of this process. In this review overview of activated sludge process for dye removal along with its limitation is carried out. This review also highlights recent advancement in the use of other methods like adsorption, aerobic granular technology, sequential chemical, and activated sludge process along with the use of bioflocculant from activated sludge system for dye removal.
