Dyeing and finishing industry is the largest wastewater producer in China. In this paper
electron beam irradiation induced decoloration and degradation of two reactive dyes have been presented. Changes of absorption spectra
pH value and the degrees of decoloration and COD removal are described. The synergetic effect of hydrogen peroxide and radiation technology is presented. It suggests that the combination of radiation technology and other wastewater treatment can be a promising process for treating dyeing and finishing waste effluents.
