< p > > a > Ministry of environmental protection < /a > will issue guidelines to improve the level of environmental protection technology in textile dyeing and finishing industry and reduce emissions from toxic and harmful pollutants to the environment. The Ministry of environmental protection has revealed that the guidelines for the prevention and control of pollution in textile dyeing and finishing industry (hereinafter referred to as the guide) are being solicited publicly. < /p >
< p > textile industry is not only the pillar industry of our country but also an important livelihood industry. Its international competitive advantage is obvious. China's cotton, cotton, woolen, silk, chemical fiber, clothing and other output ranks first in the world. < /p >
< p > however, the pollution caused by a > textile > /a > industry is also not to be underestimated. According to the data disclosed by the Ministry of environmental protection, the textile industry wastewater discharge accounts for 11.6% of the total industrial wastewater discharge in 2010, and the chemical oxygen demand emissions account for 10.2% of the total emissions, ranking third in the industry. < /p >
< p > dyeing and finishing is the most serious pollution link, and its wastewater discharge accounts for 80% of the total textile emissions. Textile dyeing and finishing wastewater is a major pollution source in China's industrial system, and is also a major pollution source in China. It is also the focus of environmental protection work in textile industry. < /p >
< p > the Ministry of Environmental Protection said that China's textile industry is a competitive industry dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises. Enterprises above Designated Size account for 0.4%, small and medium-sized enterprises account for 99.6%, and non-public enterprises account for 95%. < /p >
< p > > according to the guide drafting experts, China's textile < a > dyeing and finishing > /a > enterprises are mainly concentrated in the eastern coastal water rich and economically developed areas, the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, Pearl River, Minjiang and Huaihe downstream of the river basin; the Northeast China river basin also has certain distribution. From the provinces, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Shandong, Fujian and other 5 provinces accounted for more than 92% of the total output of dyeing and finishing cloth. < /p >
< p > these experts say that because of the relatively developed economy in these areas, their environmental protection requirements are also improving. Some enterprises in these areas are gradually shifting to the less developed areas in the Midwest under the pressure of environmental protection. < /p >
< p > the guide says that China's textile dyeing and finishing industry accounts for 57% of the world's output, but the products are mainly medium and low grade. Besides a very small number of advanced enterprises adopting the world's advanced level equipment, the overall production technology and equipment level of the industry is not high. And small businesses can only measure the total energy consumption, water consumption and material consumption of the whole plant. < /p >
< p > the guide says that China's printing and dyeing industry is too concentrated in the eastern part of the lack of environmental capacity. Compared with the advanced countries abroad, the energy consumption is 3 to 5 times, the water consumption is 2 times, and the consumption of dyestuff is 1.2 times. < /p >
< p > in addition, the traditional dyeing and finishing process will produce harmful wastewater. Some a > toxic dye < /a > or processing aids on the fabric will affect human health. "Such as azo dyes, fluorescent brighteners and softeners are allergenic; polyvinyl alcohol and polypropylene size are not easily biodegradable; some aromatic amine dyes are carcinogenic." Experts say that some dyes are harmful to heavy metals. < /p >
< p > the guide says that such waste water will directly discharge if it is not treated or treated without reaching the prescribed discharge standards, which not only directly endangers people's health, but also seriously damages water bodies, soil and their ecosystems. < /p >
< p > according to the experts, the implementation of the guidelines can promote the improvement of the environmental protection technology level in the textile dyeing and finishing industry, and reduce the toxic and harmful characteristics from the source to the end of the technology, < a > pollutants > /a > to the environment. < /p >
