TL;DR: A pot trial of 20 Australian species was used to investigate how species vary in the removal of pollutants from semisynthetic storm water passing through a soil filter medium, finding choice of plant species may have marked effects on biofilter effectiveness.

TL;DR: Toxicity tests with Vibrio fisheri showed that degradation of the compounds in real effluent wastewater led to toxicity increase, but is relatively independent of pH, the type of acid used for release of hydroxyl radicals scavengers and the initial H(2)O( 2) concentration used.

TL;DR: In this paper, a discussion of waste production from textile processes, such as desizing, mercerizing, bleaching, dyeing, finishing, and printing, is presented.
Abstract: This review discusses cotton textile processing and methods of treating effluent in the textile industry. Several countries, including India, have introduced strict ecological standards for textile industries. With more stringent controls expected in the future, it is essential that control measures be implemented to minimize effluent problems. Industrial textile processing comprises pretreatment, dyeing, printing, and finishing operations. These production processes not only consume large amounts of energy and water, but they also produce substantial waste products. This manuscript combines a discussion of waste production from textile processes, such as desizing, mercerizing, bleaching, dyeing, finishing, and printing, with a discussion of advanced methods of effluent treatment, such as electro-oxidation, bio-treatment, photochemical, and membrane processes.

TL;DR: Assessment of the removal of organic micropollutants and the concurrent reduction of their biological activity in a full scale reclamation plant treating secondary effluent found that the main ozonation formed oxidation by-products but decreased the level of non-specific toxicity and other specific toxic modes of action.
