Highly efficient removal of victoria blue R and bioelectricity generation from textile wastewater using a novel combined dual microbial fuel cell system

Reviewing textile wastewater produced by industries: characteristics, environmental impacts, and treatment strategies

“…They reported high COD removal efficiencies (92-98%) using MFCs. Wu et al (2020) developed an innovative device that combined dual MFC for the continuous removal of Victoria Blue R and power production. Analysis of the results revealed that when artificial wastewater containing 1,000 mg/L of Victoria Blue R was continuously injected into the system, the Victoria Blue R removal rate reached 98.7%.…”

Engineered nanomaterials in microbial fuel cells – Recent developments, sustainability aspects, and future outlook

“…There are also reports on bioelectricity generation from (waste)water in MFCs by reducing heavy metals such as hexavalent chromium [10]. Hence, MFCs can be used efficiently to deal with industrial (waste)water contaminated by various organic and inorganic compounds such as pulp and paper [11], textile [12], and pharmaceutical [13] effluents.…”

Improved performance of immobilized laccase for catalytic degradation of synthetic dyes using redox mediators

“…6,7 These synthetic dyes are highly soluble and structurally stable, and their accumulation would lead to serious environmental concerns for aquatic ecosystems and human beings due to their adverse effects, such as toxicity, carcinogenicity, teratogenicity and mutagenicity. 5,8–11 Moreover, high concentrations of dyestuffs could cause waterborne diseases. 6,12 Therefore, the effective treatment of high concentrations of dyestuffs via green processing is of great significance.…”
