Decolorisation and biodegradation efficacy of potential strains isolated from dyeing effluent collected from Tirupur region, Tamil Nadu, India were studied in remazol reactive dyes. Two potential strains Clostridium butyricum (EI05) and Clostridium acetobutylicum (EI25) identified by biochemical tests in our previous study were studied for their decolorising efficiency on various remazol reacti...

Box 56, Biocenter 1, FI 00014 University of Helsinki, Finland Email: [email protected] Abstract: To find out ability of fourteen basidiomycetes and four ascomycetes strains to grow in the presence of synthetic colour dyes and to degrade them, fungi were ...

Background & objectives: Dyes are structurally complex materials, which enter into the environment due to discharging of textiles effluent from dyeing and printing processes. Reactive Blue 52 dye is used widely in the textile industry. Therefore, we investigated the efficiency of the filamentous Alga as natural adsorbent in the removal of Reactive Blue 52 dye from textile wastewater. Methods: ...

The objective of this work is investigation of the adsorption and decomposition of Reactive Blue 19 from industrial wastewaters using laccase enzyme immobilized on activated carbon powder and fiber as adsorbent. Time, pH, temperature, stirring rate, the amount of the adsorbent, dye initial concentration, solution flow rate in the column and column height were studied as key operating parame...

The ability of a particular banana fibre in removing reactive dyes from textile wastewater was studied in the present work. Locally available ground seeded banana fibre of ≤ 212 μ was used as adsorbent. Initially the adsorbent was tested on standard Novacron Blue FN-R reactive dye solutions and then it was also applied to raw textile wastewater. The adsorbent was found very effective to remove ...

A cellulose biopolymer was doped with Fe and Al forming a mesoporous composite. The composite showed excellent adsorption capacities of 117.86 mg g −1 95.62 for Reactive red 21 blue 19 respectively.

White rot fungus Marasmius sp. BBKAV79 (GenBank accession number-KP455496, KP455497) exhibited decolourization and degradation of Navy blue HER dye (concentration 50 mg l-l) within 24 h under shaking condition. In the present study, various investigated parameters like initial dye concentration, pH, temperature, carbon and nitrogen sources were optimized to develop a faster decolourization proc...
