“…This fact can be demonstrated by the huge amount of studies published in the last five years (about 13,000 results on Scopus database including "dye pollution" and "dyes adsorption" as keywords). The issue can be mainly correlated to textile manufacturing, which is in constant evolution and activity, as recently reported in some reviews [34][35][36]. The problems caused by dyes fall in two main fields: environment (i.e., affecting the photosynthetic function in plants and eutrophication of aquatic life [37]) and human health [38].…”

The growing utilization of renewable and residual biomasses for environmental preservation and remediation are important goals to be pursued to minimize the environmental impact of human activities. In this paper, sodium alginate (derived from brown algae) was crosslinked using chitosan (mainly derived from the exoskeleton of crustaceans) in the presence of biowaste-derived substances isolated from green compost (BBS-GC), to produce hydrogels and dried films. The obtained materials were tested as adsorbents for wastewater remediation. To this purpose, gels were characterized using a multi-analytical approach and used as active substrates for the removal of three differently-charged molecules, chosen as model pollutants: crystal violet, rhodamine B, and orange II. The effectiveness of the gel formulations was demonstrated and attributed to the variety of active functionalities introduced by the different precursors, the structural factors and the peculiar physicochemical properties of the resulting materials.

“…The emitted textile effluents impose substantial adverse effects on water quality, soil fertility, and marine life, causing ecosystem disruptions (Croce et al 2017). For those living adjacent to contaminated riverbanks or other water sources, short-term exposure to textile dyes can lead to skin and eye irritation as well as allergic reactions, while continued exposure could even lead to cancer due to mutagenicity and carcinogenicity of these dyes (Lellis et al 2019).…”

Abstract. Michelle, Siregar RAN, Sanjaya A, Jap L, Pinontoan R. 2020. Methylene blue decolorizing bacteria isolated from water sewage in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 1136-1141. The textile industry contributes to water pollution issues all over the world. One of the most commonly applied cationic dye in the textile industry is methylene blue. This study aimed to isolate bacteria with the potential to decolorize methylene blue from dye contaminated sewage water located in Kulon Progo District, Yogyakarta, where several textile industries within the proximity, are located. Characterizations of bacterial candidates were done morphologically and biochemically. Molecular identification was conducted by 16S rRNA sequencing. The ability of isolates to decolorize methylene blue was observed by the reduction of methylene blue’s maximum absorption at the wavelength of 665 nm. The results showed that isolates were identified as Comamonas aquatica and Ralstonia mannitolilytica. C. aquatica PMB-1 and R. mannitolilytica PMB-2 isolates were able to decolorize methylene blue with decolorization percentage of 67.9% and 60.3%, respectively when incubated for 96 hours at 37°C. These findings present information on the capability of the genus Ralstonia and Comamonas to decolorize methylene blue cationic dye.

“…Dye-contaminated water, if used for irrigation, might enter our food chain, which in the long term will result in recalcitrance and bioaccumulation, and in the development of toxicity, mutagenicity, and carcinogenicity in living systems. The presence of dyes contributes a small fraction of the total organic-load present in wastewater; however, if disposed of as untreated wastewater, their colour in water sources makes them visually unacceptable [1]. Wastewater discharge from textile and dyes manufacturing companies to water bodies and water treatment systems disturbs the ecosystem.…”

This article aims to provide information on two aspects: firstly, waste management of residual biological agro-industrial materials generated from agriculture, and secondly, for the sustainable remediation of textile wastewater. Annually, huge amounts of solid renewable biomass materials are generated worldwide from agricultural and farming sectors. The generation of these vast amounts of solid wastes could be utilised as a valuable and renewable natural resource for various applications. The goal of promoting sustainable development has increased the interest in recycling wastes economically and in an eco-friendly way. This article reviews the published research on this topic and discusses the usage of these solid substrates in the remediation of a major environmental component, textile dye-contaminated water. The purpose of this article is to discuss an integrated and cross-disciplinary approach to sustainable solid and liquid waste management and remediation of environmental components and to report the biological approaches and their efficiency in a chemical-free and economically viable bioremediation process for large volumes of dye-contaminated water resources.
