BACKGROUND Laccases have good potential as bioremediating agents and can be used continuously in the immobilized form like many other enzymes. METHODS In the present study, laccase from Cyathus bulleri was immobilized by entrapment in Poly Vinyl Alcohol (PVA) beads cross-linked with either nitrate or boric acid. Immobilized laccase was used for dye decolorization in both batch and continuous ...

Azo dyes are generally resistant to biodegradation due to their complex structures. Acid orange II is one of the most widely used dyes in the textile industry. The influence of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in different concentrations, pH, and time of contact on Orange II was investigated using kinetics and adsorption-isotherm experiments. The results showed that the maximum colour removed from dy...

In this work, the efficiency of a photo-electrochemical method to remove color in textile dyeing effluents is discussed. The decolorization of a synthetic effluent containing a bi-functional reactive dye was carried out by applying an electrochemical treatment at different intensities (2 A, 5 A and 10 A), followed by ultraviolet irradiation. The combination of both treatments was optimized. The...

Environmental pollution may be considered one of the main problems affecting world population. As effluents from textile industries are largest representatives sources water bodies due to disposal colored compounds in environment. Microorganisms capable thriving wastewater exhibit metabolic machinery synthesize a wide variety enzymes and/or secondary metabolites industrial interest. The present...

The trend towards reuse of effluent for land application of domestic and industrial wastewater is driven by the need to maximise limited water resources and benefit from the plant nutrients available in the effluent. Of significant impact upon the value of the wastewater for reuse is its chemical properties as well as biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids. While the sewage treatment pl...

The textile industry has experienced significant advances accompanied by the production of large volumes polluted water released into environment, which requires treatment that varies according to nature pollutants. present work aimed at testing 13X type zeolites synthesized from Djebel Debagh DD1, DD2, and DD3 kaolins in order remove dyes other pollutants effluent COTITEX (Batna, Algeria).
