Abstract

The ability of seven different isolates of wood-rotting fungi to decolorize a wide range of structurally different synthetic dyes was investigated. All isolates decolorized some dyes, and all dyes were decolorized to some extent. Color removal efficiency varied from 100% to only ca. 50% at most for chrysophenine. Some decolorizations were extremely rapid. Two isolates reduced the A₆₂₅ of a solution of brilliant green from 57 to 0.5 in 1 day. No one isolate proved to be best for all dyes, and some were poor in most tests. Phanerochaete chrysosporium was among the least effective of the isolates. The screening system, which was unoptimized, employed mycelial mats pregrown on malt extract medium and supplied with an energy source, glucose, together with the dye.

A review on recent advances in the treatment of dye-polluted wastewater
2022, Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry
The textile effluent has an unfavorable effect on the waterbodies as well as on the human health due to the poor penetration of light by increased turbidity and higher oxygen demands. Therefore, the treatment of dye-polluted wastewater is gaining an urgent attention. This review emphasizes on the sate-of-the-art technologies that have been developed for treating dye-polluted wastewater, including chemical, physical, and biological techniques alongside their benefits, challenges, and upcoming prospects. The study concludes that the single process alone may not be appropriate for the treatment of a range of dye-polluted wastewaters and approaching the quality demands as these technologies requires more time and are complex. Literature exhibiting a range of approaches for treating large volumes of effluents without producing secondary pollutants are reviewed. Moreover, the ecological impact was among the main concern due to the loss of catalysts and the production of waste sludge. On the other hand, reusability and regeneration are the integrated strategies to deal with such limitations. This review also provides a detailed environmental and techno-economic analysis, life cycle assessment, and practical implications. Moreover, the key bottlenecks requiring a major consideration concerning the universal appreciation of hybrid frameworks are emphasized.
A review on microbial potential of toxic azo dyes bioremediation in aquatic system
2022, Microbial Biodegradation and Bioremediation: Techniques and Case Studies for Environmental Pollution
Synthetic organic azo dyes are immensely popular in several manufacturing industries globally for their unique properties. However, their chemical nature leads to serious environmental degradation concern and toxic impacts on biological organisms in aquatic systems. Several physical and chemical methods have been applied to treat them before being discharged into water bodies but has been found to be insufficient in performance due to various shortcomings. On the contrary, biological remediation processes have been proved to be far more successful, cost-efficient, and applicable. This present review deals with the potential of various microbiological species including, bacteria in axenic culture and consortium, fungi, algae, and cyanobacteria for azo dye degradation under different environmental conditions. In all the species, some enzymes have been observed to be responsible for the remediation and removal techniques. However, still there are limitations, which are the hindrances for industrial and large-scale applications of bioremediation process to remove and degrade azo dyes from effluents before they are discharged into the open environment. So further research and innovations are required in this field of study.
Lignin waste as co-substrate on decolorization of azo dyes by Ganoderma lucidum
2021, Journal of the Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers
Citation Excerpt :
The decline of fungal biomass in the later stage might be attributed to the result of nutrition exhaustion. Additionally, the decrease of pH value is in accordance with the results from previous studies [39,40]. A large amount of low-molecular weight organic acids could be secreted during the growth of WRF [6,41].
Improvement of dye removal efficiency is beneficial to development of bioremediation for textile effluent. In this study, the effect of lignin model compounds (LMCs) and enzymatic/mild acidolysis lignin (EMAL) from rice straw as co-substrate on dye decolorization by Ganoderma lucidum EN2 were evaluated. Two azo dyes, Remazol Brilliant Violet 5R (RBV5) and Sunset Yellow (SY) were tested. Eight of the thirty tested LMCs could significantly improve both RBV5 and SY decolorization, including 3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamic acid, 4-hydroxycinnamic acid, 3,5-dimethoxy-4 -hydroxybenzaldehyde, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, 3‑hydroxy-4-methoxycinnamic acid, guaiacol, acetosyringone, and 2,6-dimethoxyphenol. The decolorization of RBV5 (from 87.04% to 97.90%) and SY (from 62.41% to 97.40%) by G. lucidum EN2 could be efficiently enhanced in the presence of EMAL. The addition of EMAL could increase the decolorization of higher concentration of azo dyes which is more difficult to be decolorized alone. Noteworthy, laccase activity increased with the increasing amount of EMAL. EMAL showed a positive effect on fungal growth but a negligible effect on pH. These results indicated that EMAL may act as inducer to stimulate the laccase production, and the increase of laccase activity accelerated dye decolorization.
New approaches in bioremediation of heavy metals from tannery effluent using microorganisms
2021, New Trends in Removal of Heavy Metals from Industrial Wastewater
The discharged effluent from the tannery industry contains many heavy metal contaminants that pollute the land and cause many health and environmental hazards. Heavy metals such as chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), mercury (Hg), arsenic (As), lead (Pb), etc. are toxic and do not degrade easily. Hence, there is a need for the development of novel, efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective approaches for the remediation of heavy metals released from tannery industries to the environment. Physical and chemical methods are more expensive than biological treatment to treat tannery effluent for the removal of heavy metals. In this regard, new trends of microbial remediation are an advantageous technique, which is comparatively safer and cheaper. Several microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, yeast, actinomycetes, and algae have the capability of reducing heavy metal toxicity in tannery effluent. Finally, the problems of heavy metal contamination in tannery effluent are considered and possible directions for future research are discussed.
Biological decolorization of Amaranth dye with Trametes polyzona in an airlift reactor under three airflow regimes
2020, Heliyon
In the present work, a strain of the basidiomycete fungus Trametes polyzona was used to decolorize the Amaranth dye. The decolorization was carried out in an Airlift reactor with three flow regimes: 1, 2, and 3 vvm. The results showed that the decolorization was a function of the flow regime. The decolorization times for the regimes of 1, 2, and 3 vvm were 30, 25, and 19 days, respectively. The COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) decreased from 1600 to 72 mg COD/L. The enzymatic activity kinetics of laccase (Lcc), lignin peroxidase (LiP), and manganese peroxidase (MnP) were determined. In all the treatments, the enzyme LiP was expressed during the first 6 days, at which point 80% decolorization was observed, whereas Lcc and MnP enzymes were produced from day 6 until the end of the decolorization process. The effluent generated showed no inhibitory effects on the growth of the algae Nannochloropsis salina. T. polyzona showed great versatility in the decolorization of synthetic effluents containing the Amaranth dye, and the fungus was able to use this dye as its only carbon source starting at the beginning of the process. LiP was the enzyme that contributed the most to the decolorization process, and on average, 95% decreases in color and the COD were observed.
Microwave induced catalytic treatment of brilliant green dye with carbon doped zinc oxide nanoparticles: Central composite design, toxicity assessment and cost analysis
2020, Environmental Nanotechnology, Monitoring and Management
The potential of carbon doped zinc oxide nanoparticles (C-ZnO NPs) as a catalyst for microwave (MW) induced catalytic process (MW/C-ZnO NPs) was investigated for the degradation of brilliant green dye (BG). The synthesized C-ZnO NPs were characterized using XRD, FESEM, Raman, EDS, TGA and Zeta potential analysis. As a precursor, BG removal experiment was conducted at the initial BG dye concentration of 60 mg/L, C-ZnO NPs dose of 250 mg/L and MW irradiation of 10 min. In MW alone system, BG degradation of 47.7 % was observed in 10 min whereas introduction of C-ZnO NPs in MW system has enhanced the efficiency to ∼90 %. Subsequently, the effect of C-ZnO dose (0−500 mg/L), BG dye concentration (20−100 mg/L), and MW irradiation time (300−900 sec) on BG removal was evaluated using the central composite design (CCD) of experiments. Based on the experimental data, a quadratic model was developed and used for predicting BG removal. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) has confirmed that the model can predict accurately the BG removal within the experimental range (R²∼0.987). Using the CCD data, the cost-analysis was carried out and it has revealed that the optimum cost was 174 $/kg of BG removed at MW irradiation time of 7.0 min and BG concentration of 36.0 mg/L. Finally, LC–MS analysis was used to find BG degradation pathway and it showed that BG has degraded into simpler compounds. Moreover, micro-toxicity analysis demonstrated that MW/C-ZnO NPs treatment of BG has reduced the toxicity from 81 % to 10 % at 15 min exposure.
