Decolourization and biodegradation of azo dye methyl red by Rhodococcus strain UCC 0016

Chiral nematic liquid crystals prepared with Grandjean texture demonstrate a photonic bandgap whose central wavelength is proportional to the pitch length, P, of the liquid crystal and whose width is given by (ne – no)P. We show that methyl red doped chiral nematics undergo a shift in the photonic bandgap upon photo-isomerization. This shift is a result of (1) photo-induced change in anchoring energy on the nematic surface, and (2) change in the natural pitch length from the photo-isomerization of the azo dye.

Sol Gel Synthesis

Formation of mixed micelles assisted by cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and methyl red was studied by means of conductometric and spectrophotometric methods. It follows from the analysis of conductometric dependences that the addition of azo dye leads to a decrease in critical micelle concentration of a long-chain quaternary ammonium salt. The respective thermodynamic parameters were calculated. The process of mixed micelles formation was stated to be spontaneous and the solubilization of azo dye by micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide is profitable in terms of energy and accompanied by an increase in degrees of freedom of the system. Based on the data of spectrophotometric study of methyl red solutions in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, the values of stability constant, partition coefficient and change in the standard free energy of methyl red distribution between aqueous and micellar medium were calculated. It was found that electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions arising between azo dye and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide molecules cause the orientation of methyl red from the shell towards the center of the micelles. It was shown that mixed micelles can be used as a template in sol-gel synthesis of mesoporous aminosilica of MSM-41 type. The results of low-temperature nitrogen adsorption-desorption and X-ray analysis revealed that the introduction of methyl red as a part of mixed micelles into the reaction medium of sol-gel synthesis causes substantial increase in specific surface area and total pore volume, noticeable reduction of pore diameter, thereby contributing to the formation of silica material with a pronounced long-range ordered mesoporous structure.

Adsorption Phenomenon

The interaction of azo dye methyl red (MR) with dodecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (DTAB) has been studied spectrophotometrically through azo-hydrazone tautomeric behavior of MR for a series of the ethanol-water system (0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 volume fractions of ethanol) at room temperature. Critical micelle concentration was determined using the conductometric technique with increased ethanol volume influenced by solvent polarity and architectural flexibility of methyl red. The azo form of methyl red brings electrostatic interaction with cationic surfactant through the adsorption phenomenon. The binding parameters were calculated with the aid of a modified Benesi-Hildebrand equation.

Ftir Analysis

Acid red 2 is a mono azo dye that adversely affects the environment when discharged into industrial effluents. This study investigates remediation of acid red 2 using alumina nanoparticles and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Decolorization assays at 521 nm were carried out using pure 24 hour bacterial culture, with nanoparticles and bacteria-nanoparticle mixture for 4 hours. Results reveal that 20 mg of alumina nanoparticles decolorized only 23.95% of methyl red whereas 10 ml of bacterial culture combined with 20 mg of alumina nanoparticles decolorized 84.84% of acid red 2 (500 mg/L). The bacterial culture decolorized 79.98% of the dye. Immobilization of nanoparticles on bacteria and dye degradation were confirmed using SEM and FTIR analysis, respectively. Therefore, the synergistic action of alumina nanoparticles and Klebsiella pneumoniae can be exploited for nanoremediation of acid red 2.

Ph Range

In this study, a new strain was isolated by us based on its efficiency to decolorize azo dyes. Identification of this isolate by 16S rDNA technique revealed that the strain belonged to Escherichia, and clustered within Escherichia coli. According to this, we renamed our strain as E. coli CD-2. The strain CD-2 could decolorize azo dyes effectively under aerobic conditions. CD-2 exhibited good decolorization ability in the pH range from 3 to 11, temperature from 30°C to 42°C and salinity from 1% to 4%. CD-2 could decolorized different azo dyes (methyl red, Congo red, eriochrome black T and eriochrome red B) within 16h, and the decolorizing rate were 97.15%, 86.03%, 56.92% and 81.14%, respectively. This degradation potential increased the applicability of this strain for the azo dye removal.
