Sorption of textile dyes from textile wastewater by chitosan-based hydrogel

Decolorization of dyes from textile wastewater by Trametes versicolor.

The white rot fungus Trametes versicolor was applied to the decolourisation of three synthetic textile dyes in the presence and absence of glucose. Different initial dye concentrations were tested and approximately 97% decolourisation was achieved. It was found that fungal metabolism induced by the glucose as well as the pH play an important role in the decolourisation process. This treatment w...

Decolorization of Ionic Dyes from Synthesized Textile Wastewater by Nanofiltration Using Response Surface Methodology

Decolorization of aqueous solutions containing ionic dyes (Reactive Blue 19 and Acid Black 172) by a TFC commercial polyamide nanofilter (NF) in a spiral wound configuration was studied. The effect of operating parameters including feed concentration (60-180 mg/l), pressure (0.5-1.1 MPa) and pH (6-10) on dye removal efficiency was evaluated. The response surface method (RSM) was utilized for th...

Decolourization of azo dyes in textile wastewater by microbial processes

Bioremediation of Textile Wastewater Dyes using Local Bacterial Isolates

Rapid industrialization and urbanization results in the discharge of large amounts of waste to the environment, which in turn creates more pollution (Senan and Abraham, 2004). Synthetic dyes are extensively used in textile dyeing, paper printing, color photography, pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics and other industries. During textile dyeing, the amount of dye lost in effluent is dependent upon t...

Decolorisation of synthetic dyes and textile wastewater using Polyporus rubidus.

Effluent from textile industries were treated with enzyme from white rot fungi isolated from outskirts of Mumbai and identified as Polyporus rubidus in our laboratory. Decolorisation of 4 Reactive dyes commonly found in the effluents such as Reactive bue, Reactive orange, Ramazol black and Congo red was examined by treatment with enzyme from Polyporus rubidus. Treatment of effluent was done in ...
