Decolorization of textile industry effluent containing disperse dye Scarlet RR by a newly developed bacterial-yeast consortium BL-GG

An Alternative Use of Olive Pomace as a Wide-Ranging Bioremediation Strategy to Adsorb and Recover Disperse Orange and Disperse Red Industrial Dyes from Wastewater

“…If the obtained results are compared with similar studies, i.e., works related to the removal of disperse dyes reported in references [4][5][6]8,9,[12][13][14], the performance of the pomace appears, removing in a few minutes a very great amount of dyes. Additional values are also put forward, considering the desorption of dyes, proposing the recovery of both the adsorbent and dyes in a reasonable short time and with a simple method.…”

“…Moreover, another important aspect to be considered is that, as suggested by Colorprint Fashion, the disperse dyes are industrially applied using a mixture of water and acetic acid. Therefore, the dye recovery process developed in this paper, making use of the same solvent (acetic acid), could be considered a virtuous more eco-sustainable cycle, in comparison with similar papers [4][5][6]8,9,[12][13][14].…”

“…Overall, during the textile dyeing process, the amount of used dyestuff is in large excess, and the problem gets worse when disperse dyes are considered. These dyes are extensively used in textile industries due to their chemical properties [3][4][5]. As described in literature [3], disperse dyes are organic non-ionic 30 519.93 g·mol −1 ) were received by Colorprint Fashion (Muro di Alcoi, Alacant, Spain), a Spanish textiles industry, and used without further purification.…”

Galactomyces geotrichum – moulds from dairy products with high biotechnological potential

“…This was possible thanks to the cooperation of two different enzyme systems. The greatest activity was observed for the intracellular tyrosinase enzyme (Kurade et al, 2012). A similar experiment using a consortium of G. geotrichum and Brevibacillus laterosporus (GG-BL) was conducted by Waghmode et al (2012a) with Rubine GFL dye.…”

“…Various microorganisms' decolourizing ability was also examined by Kurade et al (2012). The authors looked at the decolourization of Scarlet RR dye by individual microorganisms -G. geotrichum MTCC 1360 and Brevibacillus laterosporus MTCC 2298, as well as by a consortium of these microorganisms.…”
