“…It is also identified as an electron-deficient xenobiotic compound, less susceptible to oxidative catabolism by bacteria. Consequently, carmoisine A tends to persist under aerobic environmental conditions [28]. The dye is also detected as causing chromosomal damage [29] and may also undergo reduction followed by a chain of reactions leading to formation of toxic components [30].…”

a b s t r a c tThe present study deals with the application of bottom ash, a power plant waste, and deoiled soya, an agricultural waste, for the adsorptive removal of carmoisine A dye from its aqueous solutions. This paper incorporates a comparative study of the adsorption characteristics of the dye on these effective adsorbents along with effects of time, temperature, concentration, and pH. Analytical techniques have been employed to find pore properties and characteristics of adsorbent materials. Batch adsorption studies, kinetic studies, and column operations have also been performed to understand the dye extraction ability of the adsorbents. The adsorption behavior of the dye has been studied using Freundlich, Langmuir, Tempkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich adsorption isotherm models. The monolayer adsorption capacity determined from the Langmuir adsorption equation has been found as 1.78 Â 10 À5 and 5.62 Â 10 À5 mol g À1 at 323 K for bottom ash and deoiled soya, respectively. Kinetic measurements suggest the involvement of pseudo-second-order kinetics in both adsorptions and each case is controlled by a particle diffusion process. Column experiments demonstrated that both adsorbents could be practically utilized in elimination of hazardous dye from effluent and dye material can be recovered by eluting NaOH through the exhausted columns.

“…Microbial activity leads to the liberation of nutrients available for plants, but also influences the flow of C, N, P, and S by their role in the processes of decomposition, immobilization and mineralization (Jordan et al, 2005;Marcel et al, 2008). Moreover, soil microorganisms also lead to the mineralization and mobilization of pollutants and xenobiotics (Reiger et al, 2002). Thus, microbial activity is regulated by edaphic properties such as nutritional conditions, temperature and soil water availability and are of crucial importance in nutrient biogeochemical cycling (Harris, 2009).…”

“…A summary of modeling software and database information is also provided (130). Additional examples of design for degradation have been reported for textile dyeing auxiliaries (131). With the exception of natural polymers, and those derived from renewable resources, most high-molecular weight chemicals are extremely resistant to microbial attack.…”

Since the Twelve Principles of Green Chemistry were formulated in the 1990s, there have been tremendous successes in developing new products and processes to be more compatible with human health, the environment, and sustainability goals. This review gives a sampling of research successes from the last 20 years, including advances in synthetic efficiency, application of alternative synthetic methods, use of less hazardous solvents and reagents, and development of renewable resources for chemical feedstocks. The future of green chemistry will depend on innovations that consolidate and integrate these achievements that have been made, using all Twelve Principles as a framework for intentional design. Designing for sustainability and reduced hazard should not be viewed as constraining, but rather as providing the freedom to explore and invent, bridging continents and scientific disciplines to create new solutions.
