    Investigations have been undertaken to determine whether cheap, commercially available materials (natural zeolite and bentonite) hold promise in the treatment of wastewaters from the textile industry. The initial findings indicate that zeolite synthesized from fly ash has high adsorptive capacity for dyes and it is relatively cheap. The adsorption of two basic dyes (Amido Black and Thionine) onto granular activated carbon as well as zeolite from fly ash and bentonite has to be studied as single equilibrium isotherms. The effectiveness of each adsorbent has to be measured in terms of its adsorption capacity towards individual constituents of the effluent. The adsorption isotherm would be described by the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm equations. The parameters in the adsorption isotherms will be estimated from the experimental equilibrium data using non-linear regression analysis. Using these data, the selection of the best adsorbent can be done for design purposes. Keywords: Natural Zeolite, bentonite, Amido Black, Thionine, Langmuir, Freundlich, granular activated carbo

    <p>A ceramic microfiltration membrane with a porosity of 40.2%, mean pore diameter of 0.27 μm, and a flexural strength of 55 MPa was prepared and applied for treatment of two types of textile dye-bath effluents. The ceramic membrane had a water permeability of 1376 L/m<sup>2</sup>.h.bar and showed excellent corrosion resistance against basic medium. Considerable removal of COD (25%), TDS (31%), BOD (39%), turbidity (21%), sulphates (34%), chlorides (33%), and color (26%) from textile effluents was achieved in the microfiltration treatment along with complete (100%) removal of TSS. This study revealed that filtration of textile effluents using a sub-micron range ceramic membrane (0.27 μm) is more effective than traditional microfiltration membranes (2–10 μm). The flux data fitted well with the standard pore blocking model indicating that the removal of various contaminants is due to adsorption of solutes on the interior surfaces of membrane pores.</p
