Textile industry is faced with serious environmental problems associated with its immensernwastewater discharge, high BOD, COD, TS, extreme alkalinity and heavily colored effluent. It isrndischarged without enough treatment above the discharge limit set by EPA which affects thernaquatic environment as well as human beings. Therefore, the objective of this study was to reducernCOD and color from the textile wastewater by using TiO2 photocatalysis experiment to anrnacceptable discharge limit. In this study, effect of TiO2 dosage (400-550 mg/l), pH (7-9), andrnirradiation time (3-5 hr.) were investigated in batch experiment. The influent results revealed thatrnthe COD, BOD, TS, TSS, TDS and turbidity of textile wastewater were in concentration of 1150rnmg/L, 210.77 mg/L, 2500 mg/L, 850 mg/L, 1650 mg/L and 190 NTU respectively. After TiO2 rnphotocatalytic treatment the effluent resulted at the optimum condition (475 mg/L of TiO2 dosage,rnpH 9, and irradiation time of 5 hour) for the removal of COD and color showed that 110 mg/L ofrnCOD removal which is 90.4% in percent and 88% color removal respectively. When we see thernremoval of other pollutant load such as BOD, TSS, TDS and turbidity the concentration reducedrnto 210.77 mg/L, 25 mg/L, 74 mg/L and 22 NTU respectively which shows photocatalytic treatmentrnof textile wastewater is the best treatment choice not only to remove COD and color but also thernother pollutant load. Consequently, the experimental result showed that TiO2 photocatalysis is anrnefficient, cost effective and environmental friendly treatment technology for textile wa
