Isolation, characterization and screening of actinomycetes from textile industry effluent for dye degradation

Textile industry is one of the oldest and largest industries of India. Synthetic dyes are coloring agents mainly used in textile industries which generate a huge amount of wastewater in the process of dyeing. It is estimated that these industries discharge around 280,000 tons of dyes worldwide every year into the environment (Tom Sinoy and Anuradha Mohan, 2011). Discharge of these colored efflu...

Removal of Dyes from Textile Industry Effluent: A Review

Since farmers use water from the rivers for agricultural purposes and the residents of the town, use both the surface and underground water from the same area as potable water, it is quite unsafe to discharge this effluent into water bo...

Review of the Mutagenicity of Textile Dye Products

A review of the literature on the mutagenicity of textile dye products is presented in this article. This review discusses genetic hazards associated with the production and use of textile dyes throughout the world. Mutagenicity of azo and non azo dyes has been considered due to extensive recent data on the carcinogenicity and mutagenicity of this group of dyes. In addition, a section on Salmon...
