Synthetic dyes are using extensively in various industries such as textile, leather tanning, plastic, pulp and paper. Since this dyes are mainly toxic and even carcinogenic, discharging dye containing wastewater into the environment generates serious environmental and health consequences. Therefore, in this research investigated and evaluated the removal effect of Reactive Red 120 (RR 120) from...

Dyes are threat to aquatic as well as human life. These are often introduced in the water bodies from textile or paper industries with improper treatment. Chemical treatments for dye decolorization are quite costly; another disadvantage is decolorization of these dyes is not complete. The bacterial flora in the effluent of textile industries is continuously exposed to dyes. Few of this might be...

Polyelectrolyte multilayer films are a versatile functionalization method of surfaces and rely on the alternated adsorption of oppositely charged species. Among such species, charged dyes can also be alternated with oppositely charged polymers, which is challenging from a fundamental point of view, because polyelectrolytes require a minimal number of charges, whereas even monovalent dyes can be...

In this study, preparation and application of novel biocomposite materials for textile dye removal which are produced by immobilization of specific bacteria onto electrospun nanofibrous webs are presented. A textile dye remediating bacterial isolate, Clavibacter michiganensis, was selected for bacterial immobilization, a commercial reactive textile dye, Setazol Blue BRF-X, was selected as the t...

Background and purpose: Textile effluents are very difficult to treat satisfactorily due to high variations in their compositions. Strong color is one of the main characteristics of textile effluent and, if not eliminated, it can cause serious problems to the environment. In the present study, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were used as an adsorbent for the removal of Reactive Red-120 (...

The enormous usage of synthetic dyes in various industries, chiefly textiles and paper industries, has posed a considerable health and environmental hazard. This dictates the need for amendment in the textile coloration technology by using natural origin pigments to replace the existing toxic, mutagenic and teratogenic dyes. Therefore, the scientists have recently focused their attention on app...

Bacterial species capable of decolorizing textile and laboratory dyes were isolated from textile effluent treatment plant. Two bacterial strains (one Gram negative and another Gram positive bacterial strain) were screened for their ability to decolorize Red H5BL (reactive dye), Thymol blue (acid dye), Malachite green, Crystal violet (Triphenyl dye) and Congo red (azo dye). The highest decoloriz...

An inclusive chemical definition of “reactive” dyeing textiles is introduced, encompassing the CI Azoic, Mordant, Reactive, Sulphur and Vat dye application classes. Such reactive increases fibre retention makes practically possible. The analogous dyes fluorescent probes as microscopic stains in biology medicine outlined, focussing on using with living cells. Parallels textile are noted, eg, enh...

In this study, the synthesis and characterization of exopolysaccharide-stabilized sliver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was carried out for the degradation of industrial textile dyes. Characterization of AgNPs was done using surface plasmon spectra using UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. The morphological nature of AgNPs was determined through transmission electron mic...

Benzidine based azo dyes are proven carcinogens, mutagens and have been linked to bladder cancer of human beings and laboratory animals. The textile and dyestuff manufacturing industry are the two major sources for releasing of azo dyes. Various research groups have started work on genotoxic effect of textile dyes in occupational workers of textile dye industry. Bladder cancer is the most commo...
