Potentiality of the Phoma sp. inactive fungal biomass, a waste from the bioherbicide production, for the treatment of colored effluents

Residual peel of pitaya fruit (Hylocereus undatus) as a precursor to obtaining an efficient carbon-based adsorbent for the removal of metanil yellow dye from water

“…The three curves under different initial concentrations showed similar behavior, with a rapid initial decay followed by the system equilibrium. The rapid decay in the first minutes occurs due to greater availability and abundance of active sites, followed by a slower adsorption rate until reaching saturation and reaching equilibrium, a tendency associated with the progressive blocking of adsorption sites available on the adsorbent by the dye [74,75]. Table 5 illustrates the fits of the kinetic data to the homogeneous surface diffusion model (HSDM) model, developed based on the diffusion of molecules adsorbed on the surface of internal pores within adsorbent particles [76].…”

Decolorization of colored wastewaters with Turquoise Blue dye by the native Colombian fungus Leptosphaerulina sp. - Influence of operational parameters

“…Finally, owing to the ability of Leptosphaerulina sp. to remove TB dye from aqueous solution and the numerous studies reporting biosorption capabilities of different fungal strains to uptake diverse kinds of pollutants, such as dyes [68] and heavy metals [69], future studies for biomass characterization of Leptosphaerulina sp. are suggested to know adsorption capabilities and adsorption kinetics of this low cost and easy-to-obtain material.…”

Potential Use of Biological Herbicides in a Circular Economy Context: A Sustainable Approach

“…It is a cheap source of raw material and rich in proteins and carbohydrates. Thus, the reintegration of this biomass in new processes allows the development of the circular economy, adding value to its use, bringing economic viability through the use of cheap and environmental biomass for the proper management of residues from biogas production (Michelon et al, 2016;Stiles et al, 2018;Drumm et al, 2019).…”
