Fungal Biosorption: An Innovative Treatment Method for the Removal of Textile Dyes
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 …
