The textile sector has a high water demand. Its biggest impact on the environment is related to primary water consumption (80-100 m3/ton of finished textile) and waste water discharge (115-175 kg of COD/ton of finished textile, a large range of organic chemicals, low biodegradability, colour, salinity). Therefore, reuse of the effluents represents an economical and ecological challenge for the overall sector. A user-friendly technique to improve the environmental performances of textile finishing enterprises is pursued with the BATTLE project presented in thispaper.

Abstract
The textile sector has a high water demand. Its biggest impact on the environment is related to primary water consumption (80-100 m3/ton of finished textile) and waste water discharge (115-175 kg of COD/ton of finished textile, a large range of organic chemicals, low biodegradability, colour, salinity). Therefore, reuse of the effluents represents an economical and ecological challenge for the overall sector. A user-friendly technique to improve the environmental performances of textile finishing enterprises is pursued with the BATTLE project presented in thispaper.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
