Biodegradation of Basic Yellow Auramine- O Dye using Staphylococcus sp. Isolated from Textile Industry Effluent

Due to the increased use of synthetic dyes in various industries, there is an increased disposal of wastewater containing harmful dyes. These, in turn, have affected plants, animals, and humans. The physical and chemical methods of dye decolorization have failed to degrade the synthetic dyes in industrial effluents completely. The microbial decolorization is better due to its versatility, dynamic metabolism, and potential machinery of enzymes. This study aimed to degrade basic yellow dye auramine O by bacteria isolated from textile industry effluent. In this regard, five bacterial strains were isolated and screened from a soil sample taken from textile industry effluent. The initial physical and biochemical characterization of the bacterial isolates 1 and 2 indicated catalase test-positive, starch test-negative, motility agar test-negative, gram staining test-positive, and morphology-bacillus. The bacterial isolates 3, 4, and 5 indicated oxidase test-negative, urease test-positive, gram staining test-negative, and morphology-staphylococcus. All the isolates were further subjected to a screening test, where isolate 5 showed maximum dye decolorization of 98.9% in 96 h. The biodegradation of dye was optimized for different values of initial pH (4-10), inoculum size (2% -10%), initial dye concentration (50 mgL-1 to400 mgL-1), carbon source (glucose, fructose, xylose, starch and lactose) and nitrogen source (peptone, ammonium sulphate, yeast extract, ammonium nitrate and urea). Maximum dye decolorization was observed for initial dye concentration of 200 mgL-1, initial pH of 6, inoculum size of 10%, yeast extract as nitrogen source, and glucose as carbon source. Therefore, dye degradation by bacteria can be used as a potential method for auramine O dye treatment.

Screening, Isolation and Characterization of dye degrading bacteria from textile dye effluents.

Textile dye industry waste is one among the foremost serious issues within the atmosphere. The dye wastes are severely harmful to surface water bodies. The dye degradation and decolorisation processes, that embody several physical and chemical strategies having inherent drawbacks, like cost accounting, economically impracticable (require additional energy and chemicals), unable to get rid of a number of the recalcitrant dyes and production of huge quantity of sludge that if not properly treated, successively will cause secondary pollution. So, biological degradation, being eco-friendly and cheap methodology, is taken into account as an efficient methodology for the removal of nephrotoxic radical dyes. Our present study was therefore aimed to isolate dyestuff decolorizing microorganism from dyeing industry effluent associate degreed to check their characteristics so as to use them as an economical bio agent for decolorizing and mineralizing nephrotoxic radical dyes.Various microorganism like Bacillus subtilis, Aeromonas hydrophila and Bacillus Cereus, fungi & actinomycetes are found to possess dye decolorizing activity. For the aim of finding out their characteristics, water sample was subjected to enrichment culture technique and then isolated on sterile nutrient agar plates containing 0.005%, 0.01%, and 1% of Congo red dye. The probable isolated organism from Congo red dye i.e. Pantoea agglomerans was found which can possess the ability to decolorize Congo red at lower concentration. The probable isolates obtained must be additional investigated relating to varied factors like dye degradation capability, media composition affecting dye degradation & mechanism of dye degrading activity.

Impact of dyeing industry effluents on geotechnical properties of soil

In developing countries concentration on pollutants produced by industries such as dyeing, tanneries industries are exceptionally high. The disposal of untreated industrial waste water similar to dyeing effluent on soil is a widespread practice in developing nations. The unprocessed effluents severely deteriorate the soil properties. The study on dyeing effluents from industries affects engineering properties of soil. Hence the soil properties have to be improved for intensification of soil for the constructional activities. The soil properties are very much exaggerated by dyeing effluent which produces the soil and water pollution. In this study textile industry effluent is taken as pollutants and laboratory experiments are carried. The affected soils were treated with marble dusts as admixture to improve the soil properties. For assessment polluted and unpolluted soil samples are treated with 20% of dyeing effluent and tests were conceded out to identify an extent of the contamination. The cured samples show a decrease in strength values up to 30% with raise in the percentage of infectivity (dyeing effluent). The geotechnical properties and their stabilization using marble dust are determined with mixtures and explored.

Treatment of Textile/Dye Wastewater by Adsorption Using Metal Oxide Nano Particles

Textile industries produce large amounts of waste water. Presence of various dyes like reactive dyes, azo dyes, anthraquinone dyes, etc.is noted in textile industry effluent. In this work we intend to target azo dyes and anthraquinone dyes which has various colouring and toxic effects. Literature review shows that there are various sustainable wastewater treatments namely adsorption, electro-coagulation, ultrasonic treatment, etc. The present investigation intends to discuss the adsorption method for the treatment of industrial wastewater using metal oxide nanoparticles. Literature review supports the use of synthesized porous MgO powder at Nanoscale for the removal of dyes from aqueous solution. Results indicate that the MgO powder can remove more than 98% of both dyes under optimum operational conditions. At various MgO dosages, dye concentrations, solution pH and contact time in a batch reactor are studied. The analysis is followed by FTIR & XRD.
