- Title
Observations on Copper in Textile Wastewater.
- Authors
Baughman, George L.; Perkins, Warren S.
- Abstract
The article studies the nature of copper in wastewater. According to the authors, copper in wastewater originates from several possible sources including cotton fiber, water supply, impurities in auxiliary chemicals and ionic copper in copper-containing dyes. The authors discuss the fate of ionic copper and copper-containing dyes in textile wastewater and recommends measures to maximize the removal of copper from wastewater during biological treatment processes. The article also made recommendations on how textile mills can address problems associated with meeting limitations on total copper in wastewater.
