Studies were carried out on the decolorization of azo dyes by Bacillus species from effluent of textile industries. About 10 bacterial strains were isolated from the effluent of textile industries, Bacillus sp. showed remarkable ability in decolorizing the widely utilized azo dyes. Phenotypic characterization and phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA sequence comparisons indicate that these s...

Enormous volumes of effluent are generated at different stages of textile manufacturing, as a result of the use of copious amounts of chemicals and dyes. Several tons of textiles required to meet up with societal demands are produced daily in this industry. Effluent derived from the textile and dyestuff activities can provoke serious environmental impact in the neighboring receptor water bodies...

The physicochemical characterization of the textile industry effluent collected from Oswal Textile Industries, Ludhiana (Punjab.) India has been carried out and the results showed that the temperature (40°C), pH (8.00), Biological Oxygen Demand (260 mgl –1 ), Chemical Oxygen Demand (790 mgl –1 ), Total Suspended Solids (2000 mgl –1 ), Total Dissolved Solids (7000 mgl –1 and colour over the pres...

The presence of dyes in wastewater effluent of textile industry is well documented. In contrast, the endocrine disrupting effects of these dyes and wastewater effluent have been poorly investigated. Herein, we studied twenty-three commercial dyes, usually used in the textile industry, and extracts of blue jean textile wastewater samples were evaluated for their agonistic and antagonistic estrog...

This paper investigated the effect of mixed cultures of Pseudomonas aureofaciens and Escherichia coli and air as gas on degradation of chemical oxygen demand (COD) in three-phase inverse fluidized beds (TPIFBs) for textile effluents with initial COD of 1200 ppm (effluent 1) and 640 ppm (effluent 2). Investigators focused on the importance of different design of gas spargers of the TPIFB for che...

Water pollution caused by industrial effluent discharges has become an alarming trend worldwide, while textile industries are considered as the most polluting among all others. In recent years, bio-treatment took attraction in removing the unwanted colour and toxicity of textile effluents than other conventional treatment processes. The present study concentrates in the isolation and identifica...

Textile and Textile dyestuff industries discharge effluent having high Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and colour, making it difficult to treat the effluent completely. Several Physical, Chemical and Biological treatment methods are available to treat such an effluent. However, in recent year’s biological treatment with focus on bacteria have been drawing a tremendous attention due to their abilit...

Microalgae lipid feedstock preparation cost was an important factor in increasing biodiesel fuel hikes. This study was conducted with the concept of implementing an effluent wastewater as lipid production medium for microalgae cultivation. In our study textile dyeing industry effluent was taken as a lipid production medium for Neochloris sp. cultivation. The changes in physicochemical analysis ...

dye removal from effluents of textile industries of iran was investigated through biodegradabilitymethod and membrane technology . basic, reactive,disperse and acidic dyes were selected, based onusage rate in iran. the zahen - welenze method (iso 9888) was applied to study the biodegradabilityof dyes. results showed the final cod and dye removal (%r) as (%61,% 57), (%73, %76), (%25, %14),and (%...

In this study, the ultrasonic, photocatalytic and sonophotocatalytic degradation of organics in textile industrial effluent was studied using ZnO nano catalyst, ZnO nano catalyst was synthesized by using sol-gel method. The structure and morphology of the catalyst were investigated using scanning election microscopy (SEM), electron dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray <span id="transma...
