Evaluation and comparison the performance of titanium and zirconium(IV) tetrachloride in textile wastewater treatment.

Wastewater treatment is a key challenge in the textile industry. The current treatment methods for textile wastewater are insufficient or ineffective for complex dyes generated from the textile industry. This study evaluated the performances of two novel inorganic coagulants with high cationic charges, namely, titanium tetrachloride (TiCl) and zirconium tetrachloride (ZrCl).
