Disperse dye inks are used in the inkjet textile printing of polyester fabrics. We aimed at developing a black disperse dye ink consisting of yellow, magenta, and cyan dyes that met the exacting requirements of safety, image durability, and storage stability. One difficulty we met was dye particles tending to aggregate/agglomerate, leading to sedimentation and the threat of head clogging and/or...

background : textile wastewater is the most important pollutant of the environment. navy blue (nb) ce-rn is an important chemical dye widely used in the textile industry. the present study aimed to investigate the removal of nb textile dyes from aqueous solutions using magnetic iron oxide absorbents. methods: in this study, a sample of synthetic wastewater with nb concentration of 50 mg/l was u...

The textile industry is a water intensive industry that produces a large amount of highly colored wastewater that must be properly treated before disposal or reuse. In the present study, to verify the possibility of reusing textile wastewater with nanofilteration (NF), an attempt was made to treatment of synthetic reactive dye aqueous solution by commercial nanofiltration membrane. Experiments ...

BACKGROUND Fungal manganese peroxidases (MnPs) have great potential as bio-remediating agents and can be used continuously in the immobilized form like many other enzymes. RESULTS In the present study, purified manganese peroxidase (MnP) enzyme isolated from Ganoderma lucidum IBL-05 was immobilized onto polyvinyl alcohol-alginate beads and investigated its potential for the decolorization and...

In Rajasthan state particularly, textile mills represent an important economic sector. Pali district in Rajasthan has got largest number of textile industries in the State i.e.989 units, mostly engaged in cotton and synthetic textile printing and dyeing. These industries liberate a variety of chemicals, dyes, acids and alkalis besides other toxic compounds like heavy metals, which are known for...

The textile industry is one of the industries that generate a high volume of waste water. Approximately 10, 000 different dyes and pigments are manufactured worldwide with a total annual market of more than 7×10 metric tones per year (Ahluwalia and Goyal, 2007). In India textile is one of the oldest establishments with nearly 1569 large cotton textiles industries, which gives employment to near...

Allergic contact dermatitis to textile dyes is considered to be a rare phenomenon. A recent review reported a prevalence of contact allergy to disperse dyes between 0.4 and 6.7%. The relevance of positive patch testing was not reported in all studies. Textile dye allergy is easily overlooked and is furthermore challenging to investigate as textile dyes are not labelled on clothing. In this repo...

The long-term performance of a submerged membrane fungi reactor was observed while a synthetic textile wastewater containing either or both of the two structurally different azo dyes was continuously fed. Compared to the Acid Orange II dye (simpler structure), higher biosorption but slower biodegradation of the polymeric dye (Poly S119) was observed in sterile batch tests. In the membrane biore...

The separation of reactive, sulfur, and vat dyes from cotton dyeing effluent was investigated by a coagulation process using a cationic polymer electrolyte (PE). The coagulation of dyes was found to be considerably influenced by the amount of added PE and pH of the effluent. High degree of separation, (i.e.-90-99%) could be achieved for all the dyes. The secondary treatment of the PE treated (p...

Currently, the reduction of reactive dyes present in the textile effluent is a big challenge due to the threat to the environment. Existing physical and chemical methods contains many drawbacks. In the present scenario microbial reduction pays much attention and current focus of research. Therefore, the present study isolated dye decolorizing bacterium Exiguiobacterium aurantiacum (TSL7) from a...
