The textile industry is an important contributor to the growth of the global economy. However, a huge quantity of wastewater is generated as a by-product during textile manufacturing, which hinders the ongoing development of textile industry in terms of environmental sustainability. Membrane distillation (MD), which is driven by thermal-induced vapor pressure difference, is being considered as an emerging economically viable technology to treat the textile wastewater for water reuse. So far, massive efforts have been put into new membrane material developments and modifications of the membrane surface. However, membrane wetting, direct feed solution transport through membrane pores leading to the failure of separation, remains as one of the main challenges for the success and potential commercialization of this separation process as textile wastewater contains membrane wetting inducing surfactants. Herein, this review presents current progress on the MD process for textile wastewater treatment with particular focuses on the fundamentals of membrane wetting, types of membranes applied as well as the fabrication or modification of membranes for anti-wetting properties. This article aims at providing insights in membrane design to enhance the MD separation performance towards commercial application of textile wastewater treatment.

Abstract To meet surging water demands, water reuse is being sought as an alternative to traditional water resources. Direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) has been increasingly studied in the past decade for its potential as an emerging cost effective wastewater treatment process and subsequent water reuse. This review presents a comprehensive overview of the current progress in the application of DCMD for textile wastewater treatment based on the available state of the art. There are already published review papers about the membrane distillation process, but the difference in the present work is that it focuses on the textile area, which consumes a lot of water and generates large amounts of wastewater, and still needs innovations in the sector. A review focused on the textile sector draws the attention of professionals to the problem and, consequently, to a solution. Current issues such as the influences of feed solution, membrane characteristics and membrane fouling and new insights are discussed. The main performance operating conditions and their effects on the separation process are given. Likewise, challenges associated with the influence of different dyes on the DCMD results are explained. This review also highlights the future research directions for DCMD to achieve successful implementation in the textile industry.

Industrial textile wastewater is one of the most heavily polluting in Indonesia. Wastewater from industrial textile contains organic contamination that is very difficult to remove pollutants that remaining even though it has been through the usual wastewater treatment unit installed and bio refractory in nature. Toxic organic compounds discharged from the textile industry, such as colored dyes, heavy metals, and various chemicals, will hurt the environment. These contaminants have been proven toxic to the biotic environment, such as mutagenic, which can increase the incidence of cancer and endocrine disruptor effects. Removal of contaminants from industrial textile wastewater is currently one of the most critical subjects in water pollution prevention. Applications of catalytic ozonation treatment initially, powder catalysts have been employed, and later, the use of activated carbon materials in more advanced catalyst structures reported, and more sophisticated types of catalyst equipment namely carbon nanotube, and nanoparticles. In-depth research on the combination of ozonation and catalytic research of industrial textile wastewater treatment has the potential to become a well-developed approach to treatment industrial textile wastewater. This review provides process principles and characteristics, including the use of various catalysts, variations in reactor design, and application catalytic ozonation in synthetic textile wastewater and real industrial textile wastewater outlined and discussed. Include future research directions of the treatment of industrial textile wastewater in to clean water with drink quality.
