This study shows the treatment of a binary mixture of dye wastewater of varied concentrations and fruit drink wastewater at three different concentrations; low (10 ppm), medium (50 ppm) and high (100 ppm) concentrations. Synthetic dye wastewater prepared in the laboratory was used as a representation of textile wastewater while the fruit drink wastewater was purchased from the grocery store. Transmittance and Absorbance values were used as indices to measure the color removal efficiency of the combined coagulation and microfiltration process. Even though there are modern technologies for color removal till this date, coagulation is one of the most economical alternatives to all technologies present now. In this thesis, the performance of a combined coagulation-microfiltration process for the removal of dyes was studied. After the coagulation-microfiltration process, transmittance values as high as 99.8% were achieved. Color removal efficiency was also investigated for the three coagulants; ferric chloride, aluminum sulfate and ferrous sulfate. Ferric chloride gave the best results in terms of color removal efficiency. Ferrous sulfate gave the worst result in terms of color removal efficiency.
