Application of integrated ozone biological aerated filters and membrane filtration in water reuse of textile effluents

► Integrated ozone biological aerated filters and membrane filtration were first applied for water reuse of textile effluents. ► Manganese ore grains were first used as ozonation catalyst in the reactor. ► The reverse osmosis concentrates could be discharged directly without further disposal. ► 100% polyvinyl alcohol removal rate was obtained. ► Economic benefits could be obtained by producing high quality reclaimed water.
