A Bacillus sp. strain (JH2-2), isolated from soil at an abandoned mine site, reduced Cr(VI) to Cr(III) under aerobic conditions. At pH 7, the strain reduced essentially all of the Cr(VI) in M9 minimal medium to Cr(III) at initial concentrations ≤50 mg Cr(VI) L−1 within 100 h. The X-ray diffraction pattern of the Cr(III) precipitate matched chromium (III) hydrogen phosphate (CrH2P3O10∙2H2O). The...

was suggested by Rotter (1937). He observed that when 0.01 c.cm. of a N/400 solution of the dye 2 : 6-dichlorophenol indophenol was injected intradermally, the colour of the dye disappeared gradually. When methyl blue was similarly injected, its colour remained unchanged, which showed that the decolorization of dichlorophenol indophenol was not due to resorption but to reduction. Rotter (1938) ...

In the present investigation the fungi, Aspergillus niger and Nigrospora sp. were employed for decolorization of Synozol red HF-6BN. Decolorization study showed that Aspergillus niger and Nigrospora sp. were able to decolorize 88% and 96% Synozol red 6BN, respectively, in 24 days. It was also studied that 86% and 90% Synozol red containing of dye effluent was decolorized by Aspergillus niger an...

Two anthraquinonic dyes, C.I. Acid Blue 225 and C.I. Acid Violet 109, were used as models to explore the feasibility of using the horseradish peroxidase enzyme (HRP) in the practical decolorization of anthraquinonic dyes in wastewater. The influence of process parameters such as enzyme concentration, hydrogen peroxide concentration, temperature, dye concentration, and pH was examined. The pH an...

In this study, two modes of hybrid anaerobic digestion (AD) bioreactor with built-in BESs (electrodes installed in liquid phase (R1) and sludge phase (R2)) were tested for identifying the effect of electrodes position on azo dye wastewater treatment. Alizarin yellow R (AYR) was used as a model dye. Decolorization efficiency of R1 was 90.41 ± 6.20% at influent loading rate of 800 g-AYR/ m(3)·d, ...

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have proved very effective in treatment of the various hazardous organic pollutants in water. The photocatalytic degradation of two azo dyes, monoazo dye Acid Orange 10 (AO10) and diazo dye Acid Red114(AR114) present in wastewater were studied. Homogeneous photocatalytic degradation of the two azo dyes with UV/H2O2 process was investigated. The rates of disap...

two potassium oxalate doped tio2 samples, designated as k1-tio2 and k2-tio2, were synthesized by the base-catalyzed sol-gel process. these samples were impregnated into rubber sheets. two commercial tio2 samples, anatase and degussa p25, were used as reference materials with which the synthesized samples were to be compared. anatase and p25 were also impregnated into rubber sheets and designate...

environmental contamination, which is growing around the world, is a serious problem can not to be neglected. among all contaminations, water pollution is a major problem. azo dyes are one of the largest groups of pollutants found in the drinking water, coming from, and the food and textile industries. tio2/fe3o4 and tio2/fe2o3 nanocomposites with various ratios were synthesized by an ultrasoni...

We developed a new screening method for potential wood preservatives based on decolorization of the dye Remazol Brilliant Blue R by extracellular oxidative agents produced by wood decay fungi. Oxidative biodegradation of lignin yielded decolorized zones around and under fungal cultures on a dyed agar medium. Inhibitory effects were detected by direct observation and measurement of the decoloriz...
