Abstract

The control of water pollution has become of increasing importance in recent years. The release of dyes into the environment constitutes only a small proportion of water pollution, but dyes are visible in small quantities due to their brilliance. Tightening government legislation is forcing textile industries to treat their waste effluent to an increasingly high standard. Currently, removal of dyes from effluents is by physio-chemical means. Such methods are often very costly and although the dyes are removed, accumulation of concentrated sludge creates a disposal problem. There is a need to find alternative treatments that are effective in removing dyes from large volumes of effluents and are low in cost, such as biological or combination systems. This article reviews the current available technologies and suggests an effective, cheaper alternative for dye removal and decolourisation applicable on large scale.

  • In coagulation, it is difficult to remove highly water-soluble dyes, and the process produces a large quantity of sludge.

    “In the coagulation process, it is difficult to remove highly water-soluble dyes, and even more important, the process produces a large quantity of sludge.179”

    From Hybrid Treatment Systems for Dye Wastewater (2007) · cites this paper as [179]

  • Given complexity, a single method can rarely satisfy demands simultaneously, hence typically a combination of available and under-development methods is preferred.

    “Given this complexity, a single method can rarely satisfy these demands simultaneously 5 , hence, typically, a combination of available and under-development methods is preferred, maximizing their strengths and compromising their disadvantages 17, 29 .”

  • Although enzyme use in dye degradation specifically can be quite effective under laboratory conditions, their application to an industrial scale has many limitations, mainly due to the production cost (culture, isolation, equipment) and operational cost (use/reuse, downstream processing) of the enzymes.

    “Although enzyme use in dye degradation specifically can be quite effective under laboratory conditions, their application to an industrial scale has many limitations, mainly due to the production cost (culture, isolation, equipment) and operational cost (use/reuse, downstream processing) of the enzymes 29, 112, 156-158 .”

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.
