Toxicity Evaluation of Effluents from Dye and Dye Intermediate Producing Industries Using Daphnia Bioassay

چکیده
Wastewater from seven dye and dye intermediate producing industries and a common effluent treatment plant was assessed to characterize the acute toxicity using Daphnia bioassay. The 24 and 48 h EC50 values and its confidence limits were estimated applying the probit analysis method. The 24 h EC50 values for different dye effluent samples A, B, C, D, E and F were 1.35, 17.32, 17.67, 29.18, 46.49 and 25.11%, and 48 h EC50 values were 1.23, 14.12, 15.52, 24.53, 29.69 and 23.22%, respectively. Result showed linear relationship with high degree of confidence (0.84< r2 <0.98) between end point (immobilization) and test concentrations. Effluent of two dye industries 'G' and 'H' had EC50 value >100%. Effluent of industry 'A' exhibited highest toxicity causing 100% immobility at 3.13% effluent concentration. Effluent of industry 'G' and 'H' had shown least toxicity, and was found toxic at the concentration of full strength (100%) causing ≤ 20% and 10% immobility in 24 h. Out of 8 industries effluents tested, 5 showed 100% immobility of daphnia at 50% of effluent concentration, while 1 showed highest toxicity (100% immobility) at a very low concentration (3.13%) of the effluent, and 2 showed lowest toxicity. These results clearly indicate that the bioassay reflects the overall toxicity potential of indusial discharge as it provides the complete response of test organisms to all components of water.

Introduction: The contamination of water resources resulting from industrial output discharge is a serious threat to the water-living organisms. Chemical and physical examinations are not enough to evaluate the potential effects of these pollutants on aquatic life. Biological tests can provide appropriate and direct measure of toxicity as a complete physicochemical criterion of wastewater q...

Background and purpose: Textile dye effluents have some potential risks which require effective treatment before discharging into the environment. Advanced oxidation processes can remove pollutants faster than other processes due to active hydroxyl radical production; therefore, increase the efficiency of dye removal. This study was aimed at investigating dye removal process using UVA/ZnO and U...

Decolorization of mixture of dyes: A critical review
Water plays a vital and essential role in our ecosystem. This natural resource is becoming scarce, making its availability a major social and economic concern. Use of a large variety of synthetic dyes in textile industries has raised an hazardous environmental alert. About 17 - 20% of freshwater pollution is caused by textile effluents. These effluents are recalcitrant to biodegradation and cau...
