Biodegradation and decolourization of textile dye wastewater using Ganoderma lucidum

Biodegradation and decolourization of textile dye wastewater using Ganoderma lucidum

In this work, treatment of textile dye wastewater was carried in a batch reactor using Ganoderma lucidum. The characteristics of textile dye wastewater were studied. The effect of process parameters like pH, temperature, agitation speed and dye wastewater concentration on dye decolourization and degradation were studied. These parameters were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). ...

Toxicity Assessment of Textile Dye Wastewater Using Swiss Albino Rats

Haematological and serum biochemical studies on Swiss albino rats were carried out for a period of 15 days to investigate the effects of untreated (Infl uent) and treated (Effl uent) textile dye wastewaters collected from an Effl uent Treatment Plant in Sanganer, Jaipur, India. In comparison to control animals (potable water), values of RBC, WBC, Hb, PCV and MCHC decreased signifi cantly in was...

Influence of culture parameters on paper mill effluent decolourization by a white rot fungus Ganoderma lucidum.

Efficacy of a white rot fungus G. lucidum for reduction of colour of paper mill effluent under various growth conditions was evaluated. G. lucidum cultured in IBME medium supported maximum colour reduction on 18th day of fungal growth. The optimization of growth parameters further improved colour reduction. The 18 day old culture at 4 g/l inoculum concentration resulted in maximum decolourizati...
