textile effluents contain different kinds of chemical dyes and many mutagenic and carcinogenic substances. discharge of these effluents into terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems causes harmful effects. in this research, decolorization of a textile effluent by nineteen different strains of fungi was investigated. removal activity of dyes was in order of   aspergillus > rhizopus > fuzarium > penici...

background and objectives: synthetic dyes are recalcitrant to degradation and toxic to different organisms. decolorization of textile wastewaters is one of the major concerns since last decades. physical-chemical treatments are very expensive and frequently producing large amounts of toxic wastes. biological treatments can be more convenient. in the present study, an attempt has been made for d...

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 (%...

the rate and efficiency of decolorization of dyes likeblue ca, black b133, and corazol violet sr were tested to evaluate white rot fungal strains. trametes hirsuta and pleurotus florida showed the greatest extent ofdecolorization on nutrient salt media. maximum decolorization of 200 mg/l of blue 133 was obtained by 4days old incubated pleurotus florida followed bytrametes hirsuta after 6 days. ...

Currently, biological method has been utilized in the treatment of wastewater -containing synthetic dyes used by textile industries in Iraq. The present work was devoted to study the operating feasibility using reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) membrane systems as an alternative treatment method of wastewater discharged from Iraqi textile mills. Acid red, reactive black and reactive ...

Reactive dyes have been used in the textile industry for the past 60 years; they colour fibres brightly and are highly wetfast. They consist of a direct colourant (an azo, anthraquinone or phthalocyanin derivative group) connected to a reactive group, which is capable of linking through covalent bonds to the amine or sulfhydryl groups of proteins (1). We report a case of a delayed contact hyper...

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...
