Sweet Lime-Mediated Decolorization of Textile Industry Effluents

Bacterial Decolorization of Acid Yellow Dye Obtained from Textile Industry Effluents

Dyes are threat to aquatic as well as human life. These are often introduced in the water bodies from textile or paper industries with improper treatment. Chemical treatments for dye decolorization are quite costly; another disadvantage is decolorization of these dyes is not complete. The bacterial flora in the effluent of textile industries is continuously exposed to dyes. Few of this might be...

Decolorization Of Textile Dyes And Their Effluents Using White Rot Fungi

The ability of four different species of white rot fungi viz., Coriolus versicolor, Termetomyces sp, Pleurotus ostreatus and Schizophyllum commune to remove Azo dyes from aqueous solutions were evaluated in batch culture under laboratory conditions. C. versicolor was found to be the most efficient colour removing species for the three dyes investigated. Maximum removal capacity of C. versicolor...

Colour removal from textile effluents

The environmental issues associated with residual colour in textile efnuents have posed a major challenge to environmental scientists as well as the textile colouration processors. The requirements to remove colour from textile efnuent on si te prior to discharge to sewer have been progressively tightened due to increased public complaints about coloured watercourses. Dyes are highly dispersibl...

Microbial Bioremediation of Heavy Metals From Textile Industry Dye Effluents using Isolated Bacterial Strains

The textile industry is one of the industries that generate a high volume of waste water. Approximately 10, 000 different dyes and pigments are manufactured worldwide with a total annual market of more than 7×10 metric tones per year (Ahluwalia and Goyal, 2007). In India textile is one of the oldest establishments with nearly 1569 large cotton textiles industries, which gives employment to near...
