Abstract

With the advent of the industrial revolution, the use of chemical substances has progressively increased. It includes metals, non-metals, and organic as well as inorganic substances. Few metal ions get promulgated into nature due to activities like biological, geological and human activities. The word ‘textile’ origin from the Latin word ‘texere’ means to weave. As we know textiles are the largest waste water producing industries among all. To produce a single textile it further goes into several mechanical processing stages like knitting, spinning, weaving, garment production, etc. with few wet processes like dying, sizing, bleaching, desizing, mercerizing, printing, etc.
