Microbial Decolorization of Reactive Dye Solutions
Abstract
The most widely used dyes for coloration of cotton textiles are from reactive class. However, the large amount of unfixed dye causes color in the wastewater, which is environmentally unacceptable. Decolorization of various commercially important reactive dyes in aqueous solutions was attempted by microbial treatment using the bacteria Proteus vulgaris and Proteus mirabilis, individually as well as in a consortium. Different parameters such as treatment temperature, pH, dye solution concentration, and the seed age of the bacteria were optimized to achieve maximum decolorization. Although both bacteria displayed good growth in a shake culture, the color removal was better in an anoxic static culture. The selected dyes were based on azo and anthraquinone chromophores and complete decolorization under optimized conditions could be achieved at a concentration of 30 mg/L. Good results were obtained also at dye concentrations of 60 and 90 mg/L.

“Although usually individual cultures are examined in research papers, a recent study 79 showed that when the microorganisms were acting in a consortium, the decolorisation of Reactive Blue 4 and 19 was dramatically improved.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
