The effects of the non-ionic surfactant Triton X-100, the cationic surfactant cetyltri-methylammonium bromide (CTAB) and the anionic surfactant sodium N-lauroyl sarcosinate (SLS) on the decolorization of the reaction medium containing the monoazo dye Acid Orange 7 (AO7) by Alcaligenes faecalis and Rhodococcus erythropolis were studied. It was found that the surfactants influenced in different w...

background and objectives: synthetic dyes are recalcitrant to degradation and toxic to different organisms. decolorization of textile wastewaters is one of the major concerns since last decades. physical-chemical treatments are very expensive and frequently producing large amounts of toxic wastes. biological treatments can be more convenient. in the present study, an attempt has been made for d...

this study demonstrates the spectral data for two triarylmethane dyes, malachite green (mg) and crystal violet (cv) at room temperature. effects of micellar environment, and crown ether addition on the spectral behaviour of the dyes were studied using absorption spectroscopic method. the dye-anionic surfactant interactions in micellar media were investigated. the chosen surfactants with differe...

BACKGROUND Studies were carried on the decolorization of the textile dye reactive blue 19 (RB 19) by a novel isolate of Coprinus plicatilis (C. plicatilis) fungi. We describe an in vitro optimization process for decolorization and its behavior under different conditions of carbon and nitrogen sources, pH, temperature and substrate concentration. RESULTS The optimal conditions for decolorizati...

A potential bacterial strain PMS82, capable of degrading an azo dye Acid orange as a sole source of carbon was isolated from common effluent treatment plant of Ankleshwar, India. The 16S rDNA sequence and phenotypic characteristics indicated that an isolated organism as Bacillus megaterium PMS82. This strain exhibited complete decolorization of Acid orange (100 mg/L) within 16 h, while maximall...

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 ...

Advanced oxidation processes involving TiO2/UV and H2O2/UV were evaluated for their potential use in decolorization of textile dye effluents. A coil photo reactor, consisting of UV radiation source and a spiral coil coated with TiO2, was used to treat synthetic effluent of Remazol Brilliant Blue dye. The TiO2 coating was performed using the sol-gel technique. The effects of UV radiation, TiO2 c...

Many studies have reported microorganisms as efficient biocatalysts for colour removal of dye-containing industrial wastewaters. We present the first comprehensive study to identify all molecular components involved in decolorization by bacterial cells. Mutants from the model organism Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, generated by random transposon and targeted insertional mutagenesis, were screened ...

background: in this study, adsorbentn process performance was assessed using nickel oxide nanoparticles for wastewater treatment containing mono azo orange ii dye in a laboratory scale. methods: the effects of various factors such as adsorbent dosage, contact time, ph and initial dye concentration were investigated. findings: based on the obtained results, the optimum ph range to dye removal is...

Results Materials and Methods Four commercial dyes were used — Remazol® Black BA, Levafix® Blue Ca, Levafix® Yellow CA and Levafix® Red CA (Dystar). A standard anthraquinone dye, Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR, Sigma) was also used. Dye stock solutions were added to solid or liquid decolorization media, up to 200 mg.L-1 final concentration. Rose Bengal Agar and Potato Dextrose Agar (both from D...
