The various factors which are stimulating the present interest in recycling of dyehouse effluents are discussed. These include economic considerations, such as the rising cost of water supply and effluent treatment, shortage of water created by increased demand, and tighter legal control. Dyehouse effluents contain a wide range of impurities which may be organic or inorganic, soluble, colloidal or suspended. These impurities will limit the suitability of the effluent for immediate recycling to varying degrees depending on their nature and concentration and the class of fibre and goods to be subsequently processed. Attention is drawn to the effect of some of the most commonly occurring of these impurities on subsequent processing operations. Reference is made to the physical obstacles to recycling associated with existing machines, drainage systems and factory layout.
