Efficiently Decolorise Waste Water Emerging from Explosives
An Integrated Process for the Removal of Colour from Red Water Emanating from the Manufacturing of High-Energy Explosives
Tags: CSIR Labs, India, Energy & Environment
CSIR-National Environmental Engineering Research Institute [CSIR-NEERI]: This technology involves an integrated process for removing color from red water produced during the manufacturing of high-energy explosives like TNT and RDX. The process includes two stages: chemical coagulation and adsorption using graphene nanocomposite (GN) or activated carbon (AC). It effectively removes 99.9% of the color from the red water, making the treated water reusable for industrial and domestic applications. Additionally, the sludge and spent adsorbents generated can be repurposed, supporting a circular economy and zero liquid discharge principles.
