“…This is also useful to encourage the use of potential microorganisms for future applications (Aamer Mehmood et al., 2021; Shahid et al., 2021a; Shahid et al., 2021b; Syafiuddin et al., 2021). In general, this study provided a cheap alternative method for the remediation of polluted water compared to the existing methods available in literature (Al Farraj, Hadibarata, et al., 2019; Al Farraj, Elshikh, et al., 2019; Hadibarata et al., 2019; Mostafa et al., 2019; Ratnasari et al., 2021a; Ratnasari et al., 2021b; Syafiuddin & Boopathy, 2021; Syafiuddin & Fulazzaky, 2021; Syafiuddin et al., 2020; Syafiuddin et al., 2017; Syafiuddin et al., 2018).…”

To elucidate the efficacy of eco-enzyme in mediating contaminated waters, an onsite investigation was conducted spanning over a 5-month duration on three ponds receiving iron-containing groundwater continuously. Eco-enzyme was applied at designated dosages and time. Water samples were collected fortnightly for in situ monitoring of water quality. Parameters determined included total suspended solids (TSS), pH, alkalinity, chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD 5 ), ammoniacal-nitrogen (NH 3 ), and dissolved oxygen. During the investigation, ecoenzyme application was halted for nearly a month owing to the enforcement of Movement Control Order to curb the rising Covid-19 cases. The results revealed that the application of eco-enzyme has improved the overall water quality of the three ponds.A 99.9% of TSS removal was achieved. For the other parameters measured, the concentration fluctuated over time and the water quality status of the pond interchanged between slightly polluted and clean. The elevation of the water quality was largely dependent on the frequency of the eco-enzyme application. This study, therefore, concludes that eco-enzyme possessed the capability to enhance the quality of contaminated water.

“…In general, findings from this study contribute significantly on the development of new natural adsorbents for remediation of polluted water [54,55]. Although various natural adsorbents have been used for removal of pollutions [56][57][58][59][60], the use of dredging sediment employed in this study suggested that natural clays that are freely available have the potential not only for dye removal but also for other pollution removal.…”

This study proposed a novel and low-cost adsorbent prepared from dredging sediment (DSD) for effective removal of dye in aqueous solutions. The adsorption efficiency and behavior of the DSD adsorbent toward the crystal violet (CV), a cationic dye, were investigated via batch experiments. The results showed that DSD samples contain mainly clay minerals (illite and kaolinite) and other mineral phases. In addition, DSD is a mesoporous material (Vmesopore = 94.4%), and it exhibits a relatively high surface area (~39.1 m2/g). Adsorption experiments showed that the solution’s pH slightly affects the adsorption process, and a pH of 11 gave a maximum capacity of 27.2 mg/g. The kinetic data of CV dye adsorption is well described by the pseudo–second-order and the Avrami models. The Langmuir and Liu isotherm models provide the best fit for the adsorption equilibrium data. The monolayer adsorption capacity of Langmuir reached 183.6, 198.0, and 243.6 mg/g at 293, 308, and 323 K, respectively. It was also found that the adsorption process was spontaneous (−ΔG°), exothermic (−∆H°), and increased the randomness (+∆S°) during the adsorption operation. The primary mechanisms in CV dye adsorption were ion exchange and pore filling, whereas electrostatic attraction was a minor contribution. In addition, three steps involving intraparticle diffusion occur at the same time to control the adsorption process. The results of this study highlight the excellent efficiency of DSD material as an ecofriendly sorbent for toxic dyes from water media.

Algae bioprocess to deal with cosmetic chemical pollutants in natural ecosystems: A comprehensive review

Elevated demand and extensive exploitation of cosmetics in day-to-day life have hiked up its industrial productions worldwide. Organic and inorganic chemicals like parabens, phthalates, sulfates, and so forth are being applied as constituents towards the formulations, which tend to be the mainspring ecological complication due to their enduring nature and accumulation properties in various sections of the ecosystem. These cosmetic chemicals get accrued into the terrestrial and aquatic systems on account of various anthropogenic activities involving agricultural runoff, industrial discharge, and domestic effluents. Recently, the use of microbes for remediating persistent cosmetic chemicals has gained immense interest. Among different forms of the microbial community being applied as an environmental beneficiary, algae play a vital role in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems by their biologically beneficial metabolites and molecules, resulting in the biobenign and efficacious consequences. The use of various bacterial, fungal, and higher plant species has been studied intensely for their bioremediation elements. The bioremediating property of the algal cells through biosorption, bioassimilation, biotransformation, and biodegradation has made it favorable for the removal of persistent and toxic pollutants from the environment. However, the research investigation concerned with the bioremediation potential of the algal kingdom is limited. This review summarizes and provides updated and comprehensive insights into the potential remediation capabilities of algal species against ecologically hazardous pollutants concerning cosmetic chemicals.
