The textile wastewater effluents discharged into the water bodies is one of the main issues of environmental contamination. A novel process which results particularly suitable for the treatment of this effluent is the Micellar-enhanced Ultrafiltration (MEUF). The possibility of removing Reactive Red-120 dye using the MEUF process with Cetylpyridinium Bromide as a surfactant has been investigated in this experiment. The total Flux and Rejection properties were analysed at varying concentrations of the surfactant, and combination of salts. The application of MEUF process is very appreciable owing to the efficiency it renders being at par with the levels of RO or NF but at a much cheaper cost.
