Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are now believed to be superior in treating industrial effluent, especially effluent of textile industry because of their several advantages over other treatment techniques, including conventional and biological treatment methods. In this study, an attempt has been made to assess the efficiency of AOPs, including Hydrogen Per Oxide alone, Fenton, Photo-Fenton, Solar Radiation assisted Photo-Fenton and Ozonation for the color and COD removal of textile effluent. AOPs are proven to be the efficient method for the treatment of textile effluent. The performance of Fenton process was slightly better. Ozonation was proved to be highly feasible and promising technique to decolorize and reduce COD from textile effluent but it is very costly. Photo-Fenton process via UV lamp considerably removed the color and COD but it is not economically viable. Photo-Fenton (sunlight) proved to be the most cost effective and efficient procedure for the color and COD removal among all AOP's, whereas Fenton process to be the second best option. So Solar assisted Photo-Fenton proved as the most energy and cost effective process among all AOPs.

The present study is the evaluation of total economic benefits generated by the solid waste management activities. To assess the financial viability/ sustainability and evaluation of social acceptability and likely economic benefits to the locals in terms of their improved status of life by the implementation of the Integrated Waste Management System. The study concludes that the proposed management system does not involve any long term irreversible negative impacts. Most of the negative impacts identified in the study are temporary and manageable through adopting the Social Management Plan, by providing monitoring arrangements and resources during design, construction and operation stages of the project.
