Phanerochaete chrysosporium immobilized on different support materials, such as polyurethane foam (PUF) and scouring web (SW), in shake cultures, was able to decolourize efficiently the sugar refinery effluent in a long-term repeated-batch operation. The decolourization medium composition was optimized using PUF-immobilized fungus. Addition of glucose was obligatory and the minimum glucose conc...

Bioremediation efficacies are highly affected by abiotic stresses imparted by a verity of pollutants due to generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). These stressed cells can be treated using natural or synthetic antioxidants. Such an approach could prove beneficial to bioremediation agents as the exogenously added antioxidant compounds would scavenge the generated free radicals. This would ...

wastewater from molasses processing contains a large amount of coloured substances that give a recalcitrant dark brown colour and high organic load to the effluent. photocatalytic decolourization of molasses wastewater was performed using titanium dioxide catalyst coated on the surface of south african natural zeolite using the solid-solid dispersion method. addition of hydrogen peroxide as an ...

Water pollution caused by industrial effluent discharges has become an alarming trend worldwide, while textile industries are considered as the most polluting among all others. In recent years, bio-treatment took attraction in removing the unwanted colour and toxicity of textile effluents than other conventional treatment processes. The present study concentrates in the isolation and identifica...

The increasing discharge of dyes into the environment and their consequential ecological effects has necessitated need for ecofriendly decolourization methods. Laccases became enzymes research interest due to broad substrates specificities. aim study was purify, characterize determine ability Curvularia lunata SS17 produced laccase. Laccase using maize cob as substrate under optimized culture c...

This study was designed to investigate the removal of reactive violet 48 from wastewater using Commercial activated carbon and Coir pith activated carbon. Its adsorption capacity has been tested for the decolourization of waste water containing reactive violet 48. The effect of system variables such as concentration, temperature, contact time and pH were studied. The adsorption data follow Lang...

Effluents containing dyes from different industrial sectors pose a serious threat to the environment. Different physicochemical strategies are being carried out in industry reduce toxicity of dye-containing waste so that dye-mixed wastewater can be further utilized agriculture or irrigation purposes water-scarce areas. But those techniques economically not feasible. There is an alternative mech...

Synthetic organic textile dyes are recalcitrant compounds released directly by the textile processing units into water bodies are important class of water pollutants. Decolourization of textile diazo dye Trypan Blue (Direct Blue 14) was investigated using a strong oxidative agent sodium hypochlorite using chemometric tools. Statistical tools such as Box-Behnken Design was applied for the study ...
