Eco-Friendly Wastewater Treatment with Advanced Hybrid System

Innovative Process by NIT Rourkela Researchers

- 

National Institute of Technology Rourkela researchers have developed an innovative process for efficiently treating industrial wastewater contaminated with persistent dyes such as Bismarck Brown R. The hybrid wastewater treatment system combines nanocomposite and microbubble technology to effectively remove dyes from wastewater. This cost-effective solution is ideal for industries such as textiles and chemicals, enhancing wastewater treatment and enabling water recycling and reuse.

National Institute of Technology (NIT) Rourkela researchers have developed an innovative process for efficiently treating industrial wastewater contaminated with persistent dyes such as Bismarck Brown R. Led by Prof. Sujit Sen, Department of Chemical Engineering, the research team, including Dr Madhumita Manna, research graduate, NIT Rourkela, and Prof. Binay Kanti Dutta, former professor, IIT Kharagpur, has combined nanocomposite-based ceramic membranes with microbubble technology to enhance dye removal efficiency.

This research, supported by Science and Engineering Research Board, DST, India (Now, Anusandhan National Research Foundation, India), has been published in the prestigious
