Decolorization of Textile Effluent by Immobilized Aspergillus terreus

Synthetic dyes are widely used in a number of industrial processes, such as textile industries, paper printing, and photography.Dyes usually have synthetic origins and complex aromatic molecular structures. 

Aspergillus terreus
Dye wastewaters discharged from textile dyestuff industries have to be treated due to their impact on water bodies, and growing public concern over their toxicity and carcinogenicity in particular. Several strategies are currently available to remove color from the industrial effluent. These include physical processes such as membrane technologies, chemical processes such as ozonation, physicochemical methods, adsorption, chemical precipitation, flocculation, photolysis, and ion pair extraction and biological processes such as biodegradation and bioadsorption. The available methods require considerable start-up costs and cannot meet increasingly stringent effluent colour standards. Read more>>>>>>>>>>>>
