Azo dyes are widely used in the textile industry. The release of these undesirable dye effluents to environment can be toxic and carcinogenic towards humans other organisms. removal dyestuff wastes using biodegradation method is consider eco-friendlier compared physical chemical methods. Thus, this study was conducted identify analyze activity azo by potential bacteria isolated from effl...

Expelling of dyestuff into water resource system causes major thread to the environment. Adsorption is the cost effective and potential method to remove the dyes from the effluents. Therefore, an attempt was made to study the adsorption of dyestuff (Methylene Blue (MB), Bromophenol Blue (BPB) and Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB)) by α-chitin nanoparticles (CNP) prepared from Penaeus monodon (Fabr...

Xanthine oxidase (X0) has been thoroughly studied by many investigators and the range of possible substrates of this enzyme is well known (1, 2). In the early experiments, enzymatic activity was measured by decolorization of a suitable dyestuff such as methylene blue or by oxygen consumption. Therefore, the exact pathway of oxidation remained unknown for many substrates. The spectrophotometric ...

Catechinone hair dyestuff was produced chemically from (+)-catechin by the oxidation with O2 in basic water/alcohol mixed solution. The effects of reaction conditions such as basicity, sorts of added base, temperature, alcohol molar fraction of solvent and sorts of added alcohols on the catechinone formation were studied in order to increase the efficiency of the dyestuff production. The amount...

An enzymatic reaction using glucose oxidase was applied for in situ production of hydrogen peroxide for use in simultaneously Fenton's reaction in decolorization of malachite green. It was found that decolorization rate increased by increasing of glucose concentration from 0.2 g/L to 1.5 g/L. Decolorization rate showed different behaviors versus temperature changes. Initial rate of decolorizati...

The decolorization of direct Solophenyl red 3BL (SR), a polyazo dye extensively used in textile industry was studied. The Fomes fomentarius laccase alone did not decolorize SR. The natural redox mediator, acetosyringone (AS), was necessary for decolorization to occur. Box-Behnken design was used to evaluate the effects of three parameters, namely, enzyme concentration (0.5-2.5 U mL(-1)), redox ...

The role of lignin peroxidases (LIPs) and manganese peroxidases (MNPs) of Phanerochaete chrysosporium in decolorizing kraft bleach plant effluent (BPE) was investigated. Negligible BPE decolorization was exhibited by a per mutant, which lacks the ability to produce both the LIPs and the MNPs. Also, little decolorization was seen when the wild type was grown in high-nitrogen medium, in which the...

In order to explore the optimal decolorization technology of paulownia wood suitable for middle and small Enterprises to obtain its high added values, the chemical processing method was used to solve the difficult problem of paulownia wood decolorization. The results showed that: 1) temperature, pressure, time and treatment solution concentration all had significant effects on the decolorizatio...

The aim of this study was to achieve maximum decolorization of molasses spent wash (MSW) in absence of any additional carbon or nitrogen source using soil as inoculum. Soil samples were collected from the MSW disposal site. Colored soil samples exhibited higher pH, sugar and protein as compare to less colored samples. A decolorization of 69% was obtained using 10% (w/v) soil and 12.5% (v/v) MSW...
