Fungal Biosorption, An Innovative Treatment for the Decolourisation and Detoxification of Textile Effluents
نویسندگان
چکیده
Textile effluents are among the most difficult-to-treat wastewaters, due to their considerable amount of recalcitrant and toxic substances. Fungal biosorption is viewed as a valuable additional treatment for removing pollutants from textile wastewaters. In this study the efficiency of Cunninghamella elegans biomass in terms of contaminants, COD and toxicity reduction was tested against textile effluents sampled in different points of wastewater treatment plants. The results showed that C. elegans is a promising candidate for the decolourisation and detoxification of textile wastewaters and its versatility makes it very competitive compared with conventional sorbents adopted in industrial processes.

متن کاملRequalification of a Brazilian Trichoderma Collection and Screening of Its Capability to Decolourise Real Textile Effluent
Water contamination with large amounts of industrial textile coloured effluents is an environmental concern. For the treatment of textile effluents, white-rot fungi have received extensive attention due to their powerful capability to produce oxidative (e.g., ligninolytic) enzymes. In addition, other groups of fungi, such as species of Aspergillus and Trichoderma, have also been used for textil...

Textile wastewater is characterized by strong color, saturation of unfixed dyes and their residues, and organic and inorganic chemicals, such as bleaches, detergents, optical brighteners, fixing, sequestering and finishing agents, carriers, surfactants, equalizers, It is characterized by consumption of high amount of water and production of large volumes of wastewater from various processes, su...
متن کاملDecolorization 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...
