Summary:A synthetic polymer was synthesized and used for the improvement of dyeing properties as well as decolorization of textile waste water. Two dyes were selected having anthraquinone based Remazol Blue R and azo based Remazol Red RB. It was observed that the synthetic polymer can be used as fixer for the fixation of dye by crosslinking between dye and fibre, which not only improves the dyeing properties but also helpful to coagulate the colour after dyeing. By single point method the concentrations of synthetic polymer were calculated in residual after dyeing. It was examined that the residual synthetic polymer is helpful in colour removal efficiency by coagulation of polymer with dye to form heavy molecules which settle down and decolorization occurred. Colour removal efficiency was found dependents on pH, concentration of synthetic polymer and inorganic coagulant.
