Abstract
The amount of iron (Fe) in dyeing industrial effluents can vary significantly depending on several factors such as the type of dyes used, the dyeing process, and the efficiency of wastewater treatment systems in place. In general, iron may be present in these effluents due to the use of iron-based mordants in dyeing processes or as impurities in the dyes themselves. Additionally, iron can also enter the effluents from equipments corrosion or from water sources used in the dyeing process. To determine the exact amount of iron in a specific dyeing industrial effluent, it is required to conduct a comprehensive analysis through different chemical and instrumental methods or other suitable analytical techniques. These analyses would provide precise measurements of the concentration of iron in the effluent.
