Textile industries are one of the prevalent water consumers and contaminators ensuing high generation of waste water. Wastewater from dyeing and printing units is often rich in organic compounds, colours, and heavy metals containing residues of various dyes and chemicals. Among these waste water pollutants, heavy metals are of serious environmental concern in recent years. Metals are extensively used for manufacture of synthetic dyestuffs and for colouration of natural dyes on textiles to achieve different shades and hues. Heavy metals such as lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), etc. are widely used for production of colour pigments of textile dyes. These heavy metals, highly toxic, get conveyed to the environment, and can bio-accumulate in the human body, aquatic life, natural water-bodies, and also possibly become trapped in the soil. The chapter deals with the utilization of heavy metals in textile wet processing, their important characteristics, various toxic aspects, and different methods for their elimination from the textile effluent liquors.

The paper is devoted to questions on optimum development of complex for control and evaluation of contamination of water basins used for collection of industrial waste water. The purpose of the paper is development of scientific-methodical basics for development of measuring system for control and evaluation of contamination of natural water basins with heavy metals using method of attenuation of irradiation of dissolved organic matters excited by external irradiation. The task on optimization of operational regime of measuring complex for control and evaluation of contamination of natural water basins by waste water of large scale point type polluter of environment with heavy metals. The known model of Shtern-Volmer is used as a basis which assumes non-linear relationship between formed complex and fluorescent irradiations attenuation degree. It is noted that potential possibilities of Shtern-Volmers model are used not fully till now. So that in known researches the water objects polluted by several same sources are mainly researched. It is shown that Shtern-Volmer model is also applicable for analysis and estimation of pollution of water basins by single strong polluter that is mining and processing plants. For analysis the suggested special parameter, inversely proportional to concentration of heavy metals in water is used. Integration of this parameter on all possible values of heavy metals concentration and imposition of special limitation condition on the searched for function of dependence of attenuated part of fluorescent irradiation on maximum concentration of heavy metals make it possible to formulate and solve the task on searching of optimum type of this function providing for the optimum regime of operation of the complex.

An investigation was made to ascertain heavy metals concentration in effluent samples collected from textile industries located at Bhaluka industrial area, Mymensingh, Bangladesh during August to November, 2013. Atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS) was used to evaluate the concentration of Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu), Nickel (Ni), Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr) and Lead (Pb) in the samples. The study revealed that heavy metals were present in variable amounts, where the concentrations of Cu (0.0405 ppm) and Pb (0.0003 ppm) were found lower than recommended level for industrial waste water. Among the present trace metals, the highest concentration (0.2-1.0 ppm) was found in Zn. Although the concentration is suitable for irrigation, it is unsafe for aquaculture. Besides, all of the wastewater samples possessed no Cr, Cd and Ni, which comprised less of the minimum acceptance level, indicating no possibility of contamination. However, comparing findings of this study with the safe limits for industrial wastewater, it can be concluded that the waste water of the study area except some sampling sites can be used for irrigation and aquaculture.

This work presents an experiment aimed at determining the concentration of heavy metals found in the water resources of natural receivers. Heavy metals are very dangerous both for the aquatic life environment, influencing the health of the respective living beings and for the human health especially if there is an open contact between the human and the respective water source. Due to the different technological processes of the treatment plants, the wastewater, however, contains a high concentration of heavy metals, which means that those technological processes do not fully comply with the legal requirements. A good, viable solution that is being researched more and more at present is the use of types of polymeric membranes, suitably adapted in ultrafiltration processes of wastewater. Many of today s advanced researches focus on investigating the retention of heavy metals by membranes. The purpose of this work is to determine the concentration of the main heavy metals such as Fe2+, Zn2+, Cu2+, Pb2+, Ni2+, Mn2+, etc. and other elements such as: Fluorides, Nitrites NO2-N, Phosphates PO4-P, Ammonium NH4-N etc, both before using an organic membrane of PAN from hollow fibers and after cessation of the ultrafiltration experiment to determine the % of the respective metals. can be removed after the ultrafiltration process. The results of the analyzes carried out during the experiment showed that some of the above mentioned chemical elements can be retained by more than 85 % so that a membrane of PAN can reduce the degree of pollution of the waste water, especially where the waste water is directly discharged into natural source of water. At the same time, 14 chemical elements present in the waste water were analyzed and after determining the concentration of the heavy metals after the completion of the experiment it can be confirmed that the use of polymeric membranes is and will be a viable solution for the purpose of protecting the environment and health.

As we are moving towards the development by urbanization and industrialization on the other hand it is becoming a major environmental impact. Due to the urbanization and industrialization, many processing industries causing major environmental problem, among these problems heavy metal pollution by allowing of industrial waste water into natural water bodies is more dreadful. This is turn increase the heavy metal concentration in natural water bodies resulting in damage to aquatic flora and fauna. The objective of this study is to determine the heavy metal concentration (i.e. Pb) in industrial waste water, in this project waste water from one of the electroplating industries in Bangalore; this study gives knowledge about the percentage removal of lead using lantana camara as an adsorbent. The optimum condition for effective removal of lead is studied by conducting various experiments by varying adsorbent dosage and agitation time and by plotting isotherms, i.e. langmiur isotherms and Freundlich isotherms and pseudo I order and pseudo II order kinematics. This study is carried out using spectrophotometer analysis

The increasing amount of heavy metal ions in nature might not yet be a serious problem,However some of the heavy metals Le_ cadmium, mercury, arsenate (semi-metal) and highconcentrations of copper and zinc are clearly toxic to the human body,The present investigation deals with removal of heavy metal ions in aqueous solution, Differentcarriers designed for trace analysis as well as for high flow rates will be discussed,
