Sequential electron beam and bioflocculation for treatment of textile nanodyes. RSC Adv 2023; 13:21558-21569. [PMID: 37476035 PMCID: PMC10354619 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra03895e] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2023] [Accepted: 07/06/2023] [Indexed: 07/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Nanodyes are a new class of hazardous materials that are used in textile coloring. Their small size, color, stability and high dispersion characteristics pose a huge threat if they are released in open water systems. The aim of the present study is to test electron beam irradiation, bioflocculation and their sequential use for nanodye removal. The nanodye was obtained from a factory and was characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, zeta potential and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX). The obtained results show that applying 7.5 kGy electron beam irradiation results in complete color removal in 10 min for 50 and 100 ppm nanodye, while at 200 and 400 ppm concentrations, the decolorization reaches 90% but leaving a residual brownish color. Adding 5 mg mL-1 of Serratia marcescens N2 biosurfactant resulted in agglomeration of 80% dye removal for 400 ppm nanodye after 24 h. On the other hand, the use of sequential electron beam and bioflocculation led to an initial removal of 80% in 1 h. The residual dyes were tested for toxicity on normal dermal HFB4 cells. The toxicity result was 1.19% after electron beam treatment, while those for sequential treatment and bioflocculation were 6.28 and 6.9%, respectively. It can be concluded that electron beam technology provides fast and highly efficient nanodye removal, while biosurfactants offer a low-cost, eco-friendly approach with a chance for dye retrieval.

Infrared spectroscopy: the key to elucidating the sorption mechanism of surfactants, dyes and pharmaceuticals on mineral composite material. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 299:122758. [PMID: 37172397 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2023.122758] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2022] [Revised: 04/02/2023] [Accepted: 04/14/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023]
Abstract
There is a global problem with the effective purification of wastewater containing organic compounds, including dyes, pharmaceuticals and surfactants. Therefore, technologies for the removal of pollutants are still being explored. One of the promising methods could be the application of mineral sorbent composite based on lignite and bentonite. However, it is crucial to comprehensively recognize the mechanisms responsible for immobilizing organic compounds using mineral composite sorbents. The purpose of this work was to prepare and investigate the sorption mechanism of lignite-bentonite composite (BL) sorbents for the removal of dyes: Rhodamine B (RB), Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR), pharmaceuticals: ibuprofen (IB), sulfamethoxazole (STX) and surfactant sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS). The quantitative sorption results have been performed using the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. The application of infrared (IR) spectroscopy method was crucial to describe the sorption mechanism. After completing the sorption test, the spectra for the sorbents revealed bands associated with adsorbed RB, RBBR, IB, STX, and SDBS on the BL sorbent. Because lignite is predominated in BL composite, the sorption capacity and mechanism strictly correspond to its sorption properties rather than to bentonite ones. The spectra results indicate that the physical sorption process related to electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonding, and dispersion interactions are predominantly responsible for the immobilization of organic compounds tested on mineral sorbents. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicate the ion exchange process involved in the case of RB adsorption on the bentonite sample. Nevertheless, the sorption mechanism was complex because of the extensive sorption properties of mineral composite and the different chemical properties of the tested organic compounds. The results of our spectroscopic studies help interpret the sorption mechanisms of organic compounds on mineral materials.

Biodegradation and Detoxification of Azo Dyes by Halophilic/Halotolerant Microflora Isolated From the Salt Fields of Tibet Autonomous Region China. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:877151.

Abstract
This study aimed to decolorize azo dyes in high-salt industrial wastewater under high-salt and low oxygen conditions using extreme halophilic/halotolerant bacteria screened from the salt fields of Tibet, which consisted of Enterococcus, unclassified Enterobacteriaceae, Staphylococcus, Bacillus, and Kosakonia. Under the optimal conditions, 600 mg/l Congo red, Direct Black G (DBG), Amaranth, methyl red, and methyl orange could be completely decolorized in 24, 8, 8, 12, and 12 h, respectively. When the DBG concentration was 600 mg/l, NADH–DCIP, laccase, and azo reductase were confirmed to be the primary reductase and oxidase during the degradation process, and the degradation pathways were verified. The microflora could not only tolerate changes in salt concentrations of 0–80 g/l, but also displayed strong degradative ability. Under high-salt concentrations (≥ 60 g/l NaCl), NADH–DCIP reductase was primarily used to decolorize the azo dye. However, under low salt concentrations (≤ 40 g/l NaCl), azo reductase began to function, and manganese peroxidase and lignin peroxidase could cooperate to participate in DBG degradation. Additionally, the halophilic/halophilic microflora was shown to convert the toxic DBG dye to metabolites of low toxicity based on phytotoxicity analysis, and a new mechanism for the microflora to degrade DBG was proposed based on intermediates identified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC–MS). This study revealed that the halophilic/halophilic microflora has effective ecological and industrial value for treating wastewater from the textile industry.

Abstract
A new approach of algal-polymer -sheets was performed by the embedding of two algal seaweeds (Ulva fasciata and Sargassum dentifolium) into cellulose acetate (CA) polymer forming two types of cellulose acetate; Ulva (CA-U) and Sargassum (CA-S) sheets. Afterward, the two sheets were characterized then subjected to 3-Rs evaluation (Removal, Recovery, and Reuse) of methylene blue dye (MB). Characterization data exhibited good properties for biosorption process. Algal biosorbents achieved more than twice biosorption capacity (Qmax) after the embedding into the polymer sheet. Additionally, according to factorial design data, the contact time and the dose of biosorbents had positive effects on the biosorption in the two sheets. Freundlich, Langmuir, and pseudo-second order models displayed good represented data in the two sheets. Furthermore, the two sheets (CA-U, followed by CA-S sheet) were successfully given more than 98% adsorption of 273 mg/l MB concentration. Moreover, the recovery and reuse data proved that the two sheets can be performed in good behavior for more than three cycles.

Abstract
The effective degradation of hazardous contaminants remains an intractable challenge in wastewater processing, especially for the high concentration of salty azo dye wastewater. However, some unique yeast symbionts identified from the termite gut system present an impressive function to deconstruct some aromatic compounds, which imply that they may be valued to work on the dye degradation for various textile effluents. In this investigation, a newly isolated and unique yeast strain, Sterigmatomyces halophilus SSA-1575, was identified from the gut system of a wood-feeding termite (WFT), Reticulitermes chinensis. Under the optimized ambient conditions, the yeast strain SSA-1575 showed a complete decolorization efficiency on Reactive Black 5 (RB5) within 24 h, where this azo dye solution had a concentration of a 50 mg/L RB5. NADH-dichlorophenol indophenol (NADH-DCIP) reductase and lignin peroxidase (LiP) were determined as the key reductase and oxidase of S. halophilus SSA-1575. Enhanced decolorization was recorded when the medium was supplemented with carbon and energy sources, including glucose, ammonium sulfate, and yeast extract. To understand a possible degradation pathway well, UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR and Mass Spectrometry analyses were employed to analyze the possible decolorization pathway by SSA-1575. Determination of relatively high NADH-DCIP reductase suggested that the asymmetric cleavage of RB5 azo bond was mainly catalyzed by NADH-DCIP reductase, and finally resulting in the formation of colorless aromatic amines devoid of any chromophores. The ecotoxicology assessment of RB5 after a decolorization processing by SSA-1575, was finally conducted to evaluate the safety of its metabolic intermediates from RB5. The results of Microtox assay indicate a capability of S. halophilus SSA-1575, in the detoxification of the toxic RB5 pollutant. This study revealed the effectiveness of halotolerant yeasts in the eco-friendly remediation of hazardous pollutants and dye wastewater processing for the textile industry.

Abstract
Extremophiles comprise microorganisms that are able to grow and thrive in extreme environments, including in an acidic or alkaline pH, high or low temperatures, high concentrations of pollutants, and salts, among others. These organisms are promising for environmental biotechnology due to their unique physiological and enzymatic characteristics, which allow them to survive in harsh environments. Due to the stability and persistence of these microorganisms under adverse environmental conditions, they can be used for the bioremediation of environments contaminated with extremely recalcitrant pollutants. Here, we provide an overview of extremophiles and the role of "omics" in the field of bioremediation of environmental pollutants, including hydrocarbons, textile dyes and metals.

Preparation of hierarchically porous carbon from cellulose as highly efficient adsorbent for the removal of organic dyes from aqueous solutions. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2019; 168:298-303.

Abstract
The hierarchically porous carbons were prepared from cellulose by a one-step method and studied as dye-adsorbents using chrysoidine as a model. With the increase of holding temperature, the prepared porous carbons had larger specific surface area and became more effective. Kinetic analysis revealed that adsorption kinetics obeyed the pseudo-second order kinetic model and adsorption equilibrium could reach within 1 h. The studies on isotherm indicated that the adsorption process could be best described by the Langmuir isotherm model and the maximum adsorption capacities was 598.8 mg g-1. Thermodynamic parameters demonstrated that the adsorption process was exothermic and spontaneous. Moreover, the porous carbon could effectively remove some other common dyes. Importantly, the prepared porous carbon was able to remove 98% of chrysoidine from polluted river water and its adsorption efficiency was inappreciably influenced by the water matrix. These results shown that the hierarchically porous carbons synthesized from biomass in this study had a wide application in water treatment.

Abstract
The definition of halophiles as "the coming stars of industrial biotechnology" in a recent review demands new research efforts for their efficient production at bioreactor scale. In this sense, the scarcity of information about halolipases production has furthered the research on the viability of Halomonas sp. LM1C culture in a mechanically stirred bioreactor. The operating conditions have been optimized by means of a Central Composite Face-Centered (CCFC) design. The operation at low aerations (0.25 vvm) and moderate agitation rates (583 rpm) led to activity levels near 8000 U/L, which clearly surpasses the typical values detected for other extremophilic enzymes. The process at optimum conditions has been kinetically characterized and the oxygen volumetric mass transfer coefficient (KLa) has been determined.

Abstract
The biodegradation and detoxification of azo dye - Direct Black G (DBG) with a newly isolated thermophilic microflora was investigated in the present study. It was found this microflora can decolorize DBG at a wide range of pH from 5 to 10, and grow well under high concentration of dye (600 mg·L-1) and salinity (50 g·L-1). Its decolorization ratio could reach 97% with 8 h of incubation at optimal conditions. The induction of laccase, manganese peroxidase, lignin peroxidase and azoreductase suggests their synergetic involvements in the degradation process of DBG. In addition, the phytotoxicity analysis indicated the thermophilic microflora converted toxic dye DBG into low toxicity metabolites. PCR-DGGE analysis revealed that there are nine different bacteria presented in this microflora. Furthermore, a new degradation pathway of DBG degradation by this microflora was proposed based on the intermediates identified by LC-ESI-MS/MS.

Abstract
An alternative, low-cost and efficient biosorbent, powdered grape seeds (PGS), was prepared from wastes of a wine industry, and used to remove brilliant blue (BB) and amaranth red (AR) dyes from aqueous solutions. The biosorbent was properly characterized before and after the biosorption operation. The potential of PGS to remove BB and AR dyes was investigated thought kinetic, isotherm and thermodynamic studies. The biosorption of BB and AR was favored at pH 1.0 using biosorbent dosage of 0.500 g L-1, being attained more than 85% of removal percentage. For BB and AR dyes, pseudo-second-order and Elovich models were able to explain the biosorption kinetic. The biosorption equilibrium of BB on PGS was well represented by the Langmuir model, while for AR, the Sips model was the most adequate. The maximum biosorption capacities were 599.5 and 94.2 mg g-1 for BB and AR, respectively. The biosorption of BB and AR on PGS was a spontaneous, favorable and endothermic process. These findings indicated that PGS is a low-cost and efficient biosorbent, which can be used to treat dye containing waters.

Abstract
A Pseudomonas stutzeri strain acclimated to the presence of neoteric contaminants has been proposed for simultaneously remediating an effluent polluted with Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and a diazo dye. The pollutants chemical nature imposed a strict control of both the medium composition and the operating conditions. pH, temperature and agitation rates of 7.0, 37.5 and 146 rpm, respectively, led to optimum levels of contaminant removal (higher than 60%) after RSM optimization. The validity of these conditions was checked at flask and bioreactor scale and the kinetics of the biotreatment was elucidated. The simulation of this one-step process applied at larger scale for the remediation of a 200,000 m(3)/year-effluent from a leather factory was compared with a conventional two-steps option. Great reductions in treatment times and in investment and manufacturing costs were concluded, proving the promising potential of the proposed process.

Abstract
The textile industries hold an important position in the global industrial arena because of their undeniable contributions to basic human needs satisfaction and to the world economy. These industries are however major consumers of water, dyes and other toxic chemicals. The effluents generated from each processing step comprise substantial quantities of unutilized resources. The effluents if discharged without prior treatment become potential sources of pollution due to their several deleterious effects on the environment. The treatment of heterogeneous textile effluents therefore demands the application of environmentally benign technology with appreciable quality water reclamation potential. These features can be observed in various innovative membrane based techniques. The present review paper thus elucidates the contributions of membrane technology towards textile effluent treatment and unexhausted raw materials recovery. The reuse possibilities of water recovered through membrane based techniques, such as ultrafiltration and nanofiltration in primary dye houses or auxiliary rinse vats have also been explored. Advantages and bottlenecks, such as membrane fouling associated with each of these techniques have also been highlighted. Additionally, several pragmatic models simulating transport mechanism across membranes have been documented. Finally, various accounts dealing with techno-economic evaluation of these membrane based textile wastewater treatment processes have been provided.
