Textile Enterprises Already Have Mature Environmental Technology Layout Green Is Gradually Increasing.

The industry is a well-known polluter, but changes are also taking place. With the efforts of the government, the market and the environmental protection organizations, the green of China's textile landscape is increasing bit by bit.

Zhang Liangjun went to the company's sewage treatment equipment, turned on the tap and picked up a bottle of "sewage" and drank more than half of it. Then he turned to the reporter and said, "would you like to try it? The water is almost the same as distilled water."

He is an assistant to the chairman of a textile enterprise in Foshan.

It is hard to imagine that all textile enterprises will discharge effluent to drinkable standard, China.

What kind of scene will the river be like?

China is the world at present.

The biggest manufacturing center.

In 2010, the total fiber processing in China's textile industry was 41 million 300 thousand tons, accounting for 52 to 54% of the world's total.

However, a large number of textile industries pollute rivers, lakes, skies, oceans, and even soil and groundwater.

China's environmental statistics annual report (2010) shows that the textile industry ranks fourth in China's 39 main industries (COD, an important indicator of water pollution), and the total wastewater discharge volume is third. In that year, 25 million tons of textile waste water flowed into rivers.

Do not think that pollution is just a bad thing for unscrupulous enterprises. Even a textile factory that is perfect in sewage purification system also pollutes the environment to a certain extent.

Zhang Liangjun said that the textile factories he worked for had to go through two rounds of sewage treatment. After the first round of treatment, the COD value of the sewage was between 40~60 mg / liter, and then the sewage was divided into two parts. Nearly 6 of the sewerage would enter the water recycling system after reverse osmosis treatment, and the COD value fell below 10 mg / liter, reaching the drinking water standard, while the remaining 4 would be discharged into the river.

Why not treat all sewage to drinkable standard? Zhang Liangjun said frankly, enterprises need to consider the cost.

"The COD emission standard of the country is 100 mg / L, we have reached the standard completely. Why should we pay more? The cost of RO treatment is very high, which costs 1.3 yuan per ton.

We discharge 25 thousand tons of waste every day, and you can calculate the cost. "

At present, many domestic textile enterprises already have mature environmental protection technology, and they are moving cautiously in the gap between social responsibility and corporate profits.

However, as Ma Jun, director of the public environment research center, said, although China's textile industry is facing various difficulties, the pollution industry has been "no longer waiting".
