The effluent from the textile processing Industries are the most dominant contributor of Water Pollution. This project aims in identifying a bio-adsorbent to treat the dye effluents from the textile industry. Nigella sativa seeds (Black cumin) with huge application in oil industry are used as bio-adsorbent for the decolourisation of reactive dyes. The findings revealed the potential of Nigella Sativa Seed waste in Textile Effluent Treatment.

Microfibers that are releasing from the synthetic textiles are the major contributors of Microplastics. Domestic Laundry has been identified as the major cause of microfiber release. This project aims in analysing textile parameters and laundry parameters and their effects on microfiber shedding behaviour. Implementation of surface modification techniques on synthetic textiles is explored to reduce the microfiber shedding behaviour of the synthetic textiles.

Sewing defects and re-working of those defects in the sewing line causing more rejection and also reduces productivity and cost. Identifying the majorly occurring defects and the causes of that defect can lead to find a preventive measure to eliminate the defects at the initial stage. This can reduce the defects and re-works in the sewing line. This project focussed on implementing preventive measures to reduce the most recurring defect in a sewing line of an apparel industry.
