The transformation and toxicity of anthraquinone dyes during thermophilic (55°C) and mesophilic (30°C) anaerobic treatments
Abstract
We studied in batch assays the transformation and toxicity of anthraquinone dyes during incubations with anaerobic granular sludge under mesophilic (30 degrees C) and thermophilic (55 degrees C) conditions. Additionally, the electron shuttling capacity of the redox mediator anthraquinone-2-sulfonic acid (AQS) and subsequent increase on decolourisation rates was investigated on anthraquinone dyes. Compared with incubations at 30 degrees C, serum bottles at 55 degrees C presented distinctly higher decolourisation rates not only with an industrial wastewater containing anthraquinone dyes, but also with model compounds. Compared with batch assays at 30 degrees C, the first-order rate constant "k" of the Reactive Blue 5 (RB5) was enhanced 11-fold and 6-fold for bottles at 55 degrees C supplemented and free of AQS, respectively. However, the anthraquinone dye Reactive Blue 19 (RB19) demonstrated a very strong toxic effect on volatile fatty acids (VFA) degradation and methanogenesis at both 30 degrees C and 55 degrees C. The apparent inhibitory concentrations of RB19 exerting 50% reduction in methanogenic activity (IC50-value) were 55 mg l(-1) at 30 degrees C and 45 mg l(-1) at 55 degrees C. Further experiments at both temperatures revealed that RB19 was mainly toxic to methanogens, because the glucose oxidizers including acetogens, propionate-forming, butyrate-forming and ethanol-forming microorganisms were not affected by the dye toxicity.

“Although anthraquinone on its own is not toxic 23 , research has shown that some AQ dyes as well as their degradation intermediates (often unidentified), can be potentially toxic, few of them are mutagenic and/or potentially carcinogenic 26, 87-90 .”

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.
