A Combined Approach for the Treatment of Textile Dye Bath Effluent Using CO2 Gas

In this study, baking soda extraction from textile dye bath effluent has been investigated. The novel notion of employing amino acid additions to improve the standard Solvay method and thereby boost the efficiency of Na+ recovery has been investigated. Glycine, L-arginine, and L-alanine are three amino acid additions examined for their effect on enhancing Na+ recovery, and the best-suited additive is chosen. The dumping of brackish dye bath effluent, which has a high percentage of sodium chloride, causes textile dye baths from the textile industry. The primary goal was to remove Na+ (sodium) from the effluent using carbon dioxide gas, which has environmental benefits. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most common greenhouse gas, trapping heat and raising global temperatures, therefore contributing to climate change. The Solvay process is used to transform Na+ in salty wastewater into a valuable product. The effect of different operating variables such as NH4OH (ammonium hydroxide) concentration, reaction temperature, carbonation time, and carbon dioxide gas flow rate on bicarbonate production was investigated. Maximum sodium recovery of about 68 percent is attained under optimal circumstances. When compared with the regular Solvay process, the modified Solvay method has a greater recovery efficiency (33 percent). Amino acid addition (arginine) improved conversion efficiency while also lowering the process’s ammonia need.
