Dyes are recalcitrant compounds that resist conventional biological treatments. The degradation of three textile dyes (Indigo, RBBR and Sulphur Black), and the dye-containing liquid effluent and solid waste from the Municipal Treatment Station, Americana, São Paulo, Brazil, by the cyanobacteria Anabaena flos-aquae UTCC64, Phormidium autumnale UTEX1580 and Synechococcus sp. PCC7942 was evaluated...

This paper presents data for the synthesis and characterization of layer double hydroxides (LDH) and their use for color and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal from effluents generated by a textile industry. Adsorption studies with raw and biologically treated (activated sludge) textile effluent showed that the pseudo-second order model best fitted the experimental data, leading to adsorption...

In this work, a synthetic textile effluent containing a reactive dye (C.I. Reactive Orange 4) was treated in an electrochemical cell with titanium covered by platinum oxide (Ti/PtOx) electrodes to remove color. The discolored effluent was mixed with other textile mill process effluents (scouring, bleaching, washing, etc.), according to the rate of each effluent in the mill, and was submitted to...

Dyes and other chemicals laden wastewater is a main environmental concern for increasing the textile industries in many parts of world. Textile consume different kinds manmade dyes or release huge extents highly polluted water into environment. This excessive dye has great impacts on photosynthetic activity aquatic plants animals, example, fish. It may also affect human health due to presence c...

The textile industry is one of the industries that generate a high volume of waste water. Strong colour of the textile waste water is the most serious problem of the textile waste effluent. The disposal of these wastes into receiving water causes damage to the environment. With regard to their colour removal by conventional treatment methods lead to severe water pollution, thus developing cost ...

phosphoric acid (h3po4) and zinc chloride (zncl2) catalyzed shea nut shells, subjected to a one way activation scheme was employed to study the adsorption kinetics and mode of diffusion of industrial dye uptake. thermodynamics data obtained in this study indicate that the sorption of dye spontaneously increases with time and decreases after equilibration was reached. the adsorption follows the ...

a bacterial strain (strain ps) was isolated from the textile effluents carrying serilene black bnfs® (c.i. disp. blk. mix) disperse dye. the isolate was able to decolorize the dye without the need for any exogenous carbon source. full sequencing of its 16s rrna indicated that bacillus sp strain ps is related to bacillus cereus groups.  silica- gel-thin layer chromatography of serilene black dye...

The currently recommended concentrations of aftertreatments containing heavy metals often prevent a textile finisher from meeting effluent discharge regulations. This study involved optimizing the application procedures and concentrations of copper sulfate for copperizing direct dyes on cotton and of tartar emetic (potassium antimony tartrate) for insolubulizing tannic acid on dyed nylon. The r...

Textile dye industry waste is one of the most serious problems in the environment. The dye wastes are severely deleterious to surface water bodies. The present study was an attempt for the assessment of different physicochemical parameters such as pH, temperature, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Solids (TS), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), ...
