Biodecolorization of Textile Dye Effluent by Biosorption on Plant Biomass and Equilibrium ModellingBy Astha Sharma, Pradip Kumar
Abstract: AbstractDye effluent discharge into water bodies leading to water pollution. Each textile dye process requires a different amount of dye and also it generates a different amount of effluents. Most of the physico-chemical methods are insufficient and highly expensive. Biosorption is an alternative technology for the treatment of different textile and other effluents. Aquatic plants specially water hyacinth showed a greater potential to use as biotrap for textile effluent treatment. …

Fungal Biosorption: An Innovative Treatment Method for the Removal of Textile DyesBy Neetu Kumari, B.L. Yadav, Pradip Kumar
Abstract: Basic fuchsin is a potential toxic, irritant and carcinogenic dye. Conventional dye effluent treatment strategies can cause extreme ecological problems. Therefore, the present study was focused on the sorption of Basic fuchsin dye by dead Aspergillus niger biomass at different pH (pH 6.0, pH 6.5, pH 7.0 and pH 7.5) from aqueous dye solution. Maximum dye removal was observed at pH 7.0 (80.42%). The equilibrium data were analyzed by employing …
