Lignin degrading white rot fungi, Schizophyllum commune and Lenzites eximia were collected from the living tree of Tramarindus indica and burnt tree respectively from the Western Ghats region of Tamil Nadu, India. The fungi were used for the decolourization of azo dyes such as congored, methylorange, erichrome blackT and also for decolourization of the dye industry effluents. Removal of azo dye...

The aim of the present study was to use a bacterial isolate for decolorization and reduction of pollution from textile effluent. Shewanella putrefaciens was isolated from raw textile effluent and used to decolorize the effluent, in unoptimized and optimized conditions. In unoptimized condition the decolorization was 27.95% whereas in optimized condition it reached 63.15% (Chrysophenine optimize...

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...

Currently, biological method has been utilized in the treatment of wastewater -containing synthetic dyes used by textile industries in Iraq. The present work was devoted to study the operating feasibility using reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) membrane systems as an alternative treatment method of wastewater discharged from Iraqi textile mills. Acid red, reactive black and reactive ...

releasing of textile dye effluents into general water bodies is a major environmental and healthproblem. color removal, in particular, has recently become of major scientific interest, as indicated by themultitude of related research reports. during the past two decades, several physico-chemical decolorizationtechniques have been reported, few, however, have been accepted by the textile industr...
