Treatment Methods

Organic synthetic dyes are widely produced and used today. Significant losses of organic and inorganic content occurs during the manufacturing and application of dyes and its discharge in the effluent presents a threat to the eco-systems due to general toxicity and resistance to destruction by biological treatment methods. Particularly azo dyes are of special environmental concern due to their degradation products such as aromatic amines, which are considered highly carcinogenic. So, dyes have to be removed from coloured wastewater before discharge. However, traditional treatment methods (adsorption, coagulation/flocculation) mainly transfer the contaminants from wastewater to secondary waste. Therefore, advanced oxidation processes seem to be sustainable and clean technology to decolorize and minimize organic dyes content from wastewater. In this paper, degradation of an azo dye C.I. Direct Orange 39 (DO39) using Fenton type processes (Fe2+/H2O2, Fe3+/H2O2and Fe0/H2O2) has been performed. The molar ratio of Fenton’s type reagents has been varied in the range of 1 : 5 up to 1 : 50 at 0.5 and 1.0 mM concentrations of iron salts and iron powder. Experiments have been conducted for two hours in a batch reactor with magnetic stirring, ambient conditions and pH 3. The process efficiency and formation of degradation by-products have been determined on the basis of results obtained by UV/VIS spectrophotometric, total organic carbon (TOC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses. The optimal Fenton and Fenton ``like" processes parameters have been applied in the photo reactor, too. It has been observed that simultaneous utilization of UV irradiation with Fenton's and Fenton ``like" reagents increases the degradation of DO39 dye. Degradation of the dye in dilute aqueous solution follows pseudo-first order kinetics. The maximal decolourization of 20 mg L-1 DO39 in water of 93.2% and TOC degradation of 76.9% were obtained using Fe3+/H2O2= 1 : 5 molar ratio. The results indicate that the treatment of DO39 dye wastewater with UV/Fe3 +/H2O2 system was found to be the most efficient.

Laccases have attracted a great deal of interest because of their remarkable ability for the degradation of synthetic dyes present in wastewaters. New laccase producing sources with robust operational and functional properties are being continuously explored. In this work, the potential for the decolorization and detoxification of synthetic dyes was evaluated in two Mexican strains of the genus Trametes. The decolorization capacity of Trametes maxima LE130 and Trametes sp. LA1 was tested in solid and liquid media. The phytotoxicity of the degradation products was determined using Raphanus sativus and Pisum sativum seeds. In solid media, both strains showed a higher decolorization capacity (p ≤ 0.05) than Phanerochaete chrysosporium ATCC 24725, which is known to be very efficient in lignin and dye-degradation. They produced laccase as the main ligninolytic enzyme; T. maxima LE130 secreted a single isoform of 43.9 kDa, while Trametes sp. LA1 produced three isoforms of 67.3, 58.6 and 52.7 kDa, respectively. Trametes sp. LA1 culture fluids were capable of decolorizing and detoxifying chemically diverse dyes (anthraquinonic dye Remazol Brilliant Blue R, azoic Reactive Black 5 and triphenylmethane Crystal Violet) without the addition of redox mediators. Therefore, this could be considered as a new laccase source which could be potentially competitive in the bioremediation of dye-containing wastewaters.

Abstract Laccases provide a promising future as a tool to be used in the field of biodegradation of synthetic dyes with different chemical structures. These enzymes are able to oxidize a wide range of phenolic substrates without the presence of additional co-factors. Laccases have been confirmed for their potential of synthetic dye degradation from wastewater and degradation products of these enzymatic reactions become less toxic than selected dyes. This study discusses the potential of laccase enzymes as agents for laccase-catalyzed degradation in terms of biodegradation efficiency of synthetic dyes, specifically: azo dyes, triphenylmethane, indigo and anthraquinone dyes. Review also summarizes the laccase-catalyzed degradation mechanisms of the selected synthetic dyes, as well as the degradation products and the toxicity of the dyes and their degradation products.

Graphene oxide (GO) was used as a support for manganese oxide (MnO2) for the preparation of a nanocomposite catalyst for the degradation of an azo dye, Reactive Black 5 (RB5). The nanocomposite was characterized for the structure by XRD, for the morphology with SEM, and for the surface chemistry with FTIR and potentiometric titration measurements. The GO-MnO2 nanocomposite presented a high catalytic activity for the degradation/oxidation of RB5 at ambient conditions, which was higher than that of the pure MnO2 and could be attributed to the beneficial contribution of the manganese oxide and the graphene oxide.

The influence of some factors on spironolactone stability in solution was studied, by applying high-performance liquid chromatography, as a part of a pharmaceutical preformulation study in order to obtain a spironolactone solution for alopecia treatment. Solutions of 1 mg/ml spironolactone in aqueous ethanolic solution 1 : 1 and in 20 mM cyclodextrines solutions (b-, hydroxi-b- and methyl-b-cyclodextrine) was used, maintained at 8 and 22 �C, protected from light and after UV irradiation at 254 nm. The main degradation products were 7a-thiospirolactone and canrenone. The most stable solutions were the alcoholic ones and with methyl-beta-cyclodextrine, but the simultaneous action of temperature and UV irradiation allowed degradation processes after one hour of exposure, more aggressive in the presence of methyl-beta-cyclodextrine. In conclusion, for alopecia treatment with spironolactone a 1 mg/mL ethanolic solution could be used and it is recommendable the protection of treated zone.

Abstract The present study deals with the treatment of complex waste (WW) treated for removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the food industry by a sono-Fenton process using a batch reactor. The response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to investigate the five independent variables, such as reaction time, the molar ratio of H2O2/Fe2+, volume ratio of H2O2/WW, pH of waste, and ultrasonic density on COD removal. The experimental data was optimized. The optimization yields the conditions: Reaction time of 24 min, HP:Fe molar ratio of 2.8, HP:WW volume ratio of 1.9 ml/L, pH of 3.6 and an ultrasonic density of 1.8 W/L. The predicted value of COD was 91% and the experimental result was 90%. The composite desirability value (D) of the predicted percent of COD removal at the optimized level of variables was close to one (D = 0.991).

Treatability of textile dye-bath effluents by advanced oxidation with Fenton and Fenton-like reagents (FeII/H2O2 and FeIII/H2O2), in the presence and absence of UV light was investigated, using a reactive azo-dye (Procion Red HE7B), and typical dye bath constituents. Under the experimental conditions employed, it was found that with 20 min UV irradiation, complete color removal and 79% total organic carbon degradation is possible, when the system is operated at pH=3, and with a H2O2/Fe(II) molar ratio of 20:1. The increased dissolved solids content of the treated solution implies the necessity of an appropriate membrane system to make the effluent reusable in the dye/wash processes.

AbstractSynthetic dyes are extensively used in textile dyeing, paper printing, colour photography, pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics and other industries. In spite of their diversity there are a certain number of properties common to many dye compounds, such as aromatic constitution, chromophore groups and others. Similarly to other dyes and due to the formation of colour intermediates, in the case of Rhodamine 6G colour capacity is maintained in the initial steps of dye degradation. For this reason in the degradation of a dye it is necessary to distinguish between two processes that take place simultaneously: dye removal and decolourization. This study was conducted by using a water solution of 50 mg/L of Rhodamine 6G (Rh-6G), as a model of a dye wastewater, in the hydrogen peroxide/UV system. The kinetic model proposed in this paper for the removing of Rh- 6G is a sequential first-order reaction. This model describes acceptably the changes in two kinds of compound for a wide interval of H
