Abstract The following is a review of published literature on textile wastewater in 2019. Presented are the sections described for the review: concise introduction on the textiles wastewater, followed by a review of present textile treatment technologies organized by physicochemical, biological, and combined processes. Lastly, a discussion of the future topics is presented. Practitioner points The discharge of textile dye wastewater represents a serious environmental problem and public health concern. Effluents from textile manufacturing, dyeing, and finishing processes contain high‐concentration recalcitrant chemicals that are resistant to biodegradation. The textile wastewater needs environmental‐friendly and cost‐effective combined treatment process.
