The increasing use of synthetic dyes is alarming and their discharge as textile waste may cause substantial ecological damage. Biological decolorization of dye using microorganisms is an environmentally friendly and costcompetitive alternative to chemical methods. This study involves the application of laccase obtained from Pleurotus ostreatus, a common fungus, in decolorization and degradation...

In this work, treatment of textile dye wastewater was carried in a batch reactor using Ganoderma lucidum. The characteristics of textile dye wastewater were studied. The effect of process parameters like pH, temperature, agitation speed and dye wastewater concentration on dye decolourization and degradation were studied. These parameters were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). ...

Textile-structured solar cells are frequently discussed in the literature due to their prospective applications in wearable devices and in building integrated solar cells that utilize their flexibility, mechanical robustness, and aesthetic appearance, but the current approaches for textile-based solar cells-including the preparation of fibre-type solar cells woven into textiles-face several dif...

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 (...

Increasing demands for wearable energy sources and highly flexible, lightweight photovoltaic devices have stimulated the development of textile-structured solar cells. However, the former approach of wire-type solar cell fabrication, followed by weaving of these devices, has had limited success, due to device failure caused by high friction forces and tension forces during the weaving process. ...

Textile and Textile dyestuff industries discharge effluent having high Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and colour, making it difficult to treat the effluent completely. Several Physical, Chemical and Biological treatment methods are available to treat such an effluent. However, in recent year’s biological treatment with focus on bacteria have been drawing a tremendous attention due to their abilit...

dye removal from effluents of textile industries of iran was investigated through biodegradabilitymethod and membrane technology . basic, reactive,disperse and acidic dyes were selected, based onusage rate in iran. the zahen - welenze method (iso 9888) was applied to study the biodegradabilityof dyes. results showed the final cod and dye removal (%r) as (%61,% 57), (%73, %76), (%25, %14),and (%...
