Pyrolitic degradation of filter cake after membrane filtration of textile washing effluent

The mixed cotton/polyester textiles were washed in 5 cycles according to the standard procedure with and without detergent. The wastewater generated during washing was cumulatively collected and solid particles were separated by membrane filtration to identify released particles from the textiles, which represent potential environmental pollution with microplastic particles. By applying the pyrolytic decomposition method with the Py- GC/MS instrument, a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the particles released in the washing process was performed. The results of the analysis indicate the presence of chemical compounds characteristic of the decomposition of polymeric and cellulosic materials. The obtained results are used for the analysis of the estimation of the release of microplastic particles during washing.
