Textile waste water characteristics
Composite textile wastewater is
characterized mainly by measurements of
biochemical oxygen demand (BOD),
chemical oxygen demand (COD),
suspended solids (SS) and dissolved solids
(DS). Typical characteristics of textile
industry wastewater are presented in
Table 3. Results in Table 1 show a large
extent of variation from plant-to-plant and
sample-tosample. As presented in Table 3,
COD values of composite wastewater are
extremely high compare to other
parameter. In most cases BOD/COD ratio
of the composite textile wastewater is
around 0.25 that implies that the
wastewater contains large amount of no
biodegradable organic matter. Sule. A .D
