Sustainable textile wastewater remediation using nano zerovalent aluminum for organic removal and pathogen inactivation.

ABSTRACT: This study addresses the critical textile wastewater treatment gap by developing nano zerovalent aluminum (nZVAl) as a dual-functional solution for simultaneous organic degradation and pathogen inactivation. The nanoparticles were characterized, confirming the formation of nZVAl with an average diameter of 40 nm. Using regression analysis, the study assessed the influence of operational conditions, showing that nZVAl achieved up to 78% COD degradation and 68% color removal under optimal conditions: pH 8, a dosage of 0.6 g/L, a contact time of 60 min, and stirring at 150 rpm at room temperature. The RSM analysis revealed a strong correlation between predicted and experimental results, with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.974, underscoring the model's reliability. Further
