I know that the application of decoloring agent to reduce water color at the outlet of textile ETP is not a very good practice since this agent produces some poisonous byproduct and become harmful for the aquatic life. Actually, most of the treatment plants use chlorine based compound as decolouring agent and it reacts with organic matter present in the wastewater and may produce carcinogenic compound (Howard S. Peavy, et al. page-19). Is that correct? And, till now color removal technologies like advanced oxidation, ozonation, activated carbon adsorption, coagulation-flocculation, etc. would be better but are expensive. Is there any low-cost solution is available?
