Microbial Degradation of Industrially Important Textile Dyes

Degradation of textile dyes by cyanobacteria

Dyes are recalcitrant compounds that resist conventional biological treatments. The degradation of three textile dyes (Indigo, RBBR and Sulphur Black), and the dye-containing liquid effluent and solid waste from the Municipal Treatment Station, Americana, São Paulo, Brazil, by the cyanobacteria Anabaena flos-aquae UTCC64, Phormidium autumnale UTEX1580 and Synechococcus sp. PCC7942 was evaluated...

Decolourization of azo dyes in textile wastewater by microbial processes

Photocatalytic Degradation of Textile Dyes in aTiO2/UV System

This study is focused on development of a method of TiO2 immobilization, convenient for the wastewater remediation (especially for the degradation of textile dyes) and cheap for an industrial operation. An influence of selected operational parameters on process performance was verified. Methylene Blue was chosen as the model dye, however, a possibility of decolorization of other dyes was also t...

Biological Degradation of Textile Dyes using Marine Bacillus species

Rapid industrialization has necessitated the manufacture and use of different chemicals in day to day life. Water is life but now-a-days due to advancement in industrialization, it a spoiling a lot. In the present study, an attempt was made to examine the isolation and identification of Bacillus species from marine soil, Nagapattinum seashore, Tamil Nadu, India. Dyes are collected from in aroun...

Photocatalytic Degradation of Textile Dyes Using Ozonation and Magnetic Nickel Ferrite Nanoparticle

Dye photodegradation using ozone and Nickel ferrite nanoparticle (NFN) as a photocatalyst was studied. The catalyst was synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, SEM and XRD. Textile dyes including Remazol Red RB (RRRB) and Direct Green B (DGB) were degraded as model compounds. Dye degradation was investigated using UV–Vis and ion chromatography (IC) analyses. The effect of catalyst dosage, pH, s...
