Abstract:ab s t r ac tDecolorization of Basic Red 46 (Maxilon Red GRL) (BR46; azo dye) and Methylene Blue (MB, cationic dye) was studied by using anaerobic sludge taken from upfl ow anaerobic sludge blanket bed (UASB) reactor treating wastewaters of Pakmaya Yeast Factory in Izmit, Turkey. Experiments were carried out under abiotic and biotic conditions. Abiotic tests were carried out without living biomass in order to determine color removal by non-biological process. The biotic tests were achieved at two cases as dye … Show more
