Abstract

Water pollution is normally amplified by wastewater effluent points such as mining activities, textile industries, municipal discharge. Amongst them, textile industries are one of the biggest contributors of various types of dyes in wastewater. Different types of membranes have been used in the treatment of dyes in wastewater such as ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF), reverse osmosis (RO) and microfiltration (MF). UF membrane technology has been used as a separation technique for wastewater and purification purpose. This chapter reviews the fundamentals and applications of UF membrane filtration technology for the dye removal in wastewater and their future perspective in UF application.
