Data set Documentation
Abstract
This data set includes data related to the treatment of textile wastewater (TWW), obtained in the framework of MADFORWATER project. 
In particular, the data set includes experimental data produced in laboratory relative to the optimization of textile dye decolorization by bacterial consortium. Also, it includes data from experimental observations related to another technology for textile dyes removal: a two-stage (solids separation stage anaerobic/aerobic) moving bed biological bioreactor (MBBR). 
Three types of potential users are envisaged for this dataset: (i) researchers active in the field of TWW treatment and valorization, that will use these data to design their experiments; (ii) textile industries; (iii) companies active in the fields of wastewater (WW) treatment and valorization. 
Notes 
Detailed descriptions (the content of each file, the methodologies used, etc.) are reported in the readme files contained in each folder of the dataset (i.e. M4W_WP2_T2-4_Textiles_UTM_README.rtf and M4W_WP2_T2-4_Textiles_TUC_README.rtf).
