Goswami D, Mukherjee J, Mondal C, Bhunia B. Bioremediation of azo dye: A review on strategies, toxicity assessment, mechanisms, bottlenecks and prospects. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 954:176426. [PMID: 39326754 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.176426] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 09/16/2024] [Accepted: 09/18/2024] [Indexed: 09/28/2024]
Abstract
The synthetic azo dyes are widely used in the textile industries for their excellent dyeing properties. They may be classified into many classes based on their structure and application, including direct, reactive, dispersive, acidic, basic, and others. The continuous discharge of wastewater from a large number of textile industries without prior treatment poses detrimental effects on the environment and human health. Azo dyes and their degradation products are extremely poisonous for their carcinogenic, teratogenic and mutagenic nature. Moreover, exposure to synthetic azo dyes can cause genetic changes, skin inflammation, hypersensitivity responses, and skin irritations in persons, which may ultimately result in other profound issues including the deterioration of water quality. This review discusses these dyes in details along with their detrimental effects on aquatic and terrestrial flora and fauna including human beings. Azo dyes degrade the water bodies by increasing biochemical and chemical oxygen demand. Therefore, dye-containing wastewater should be effectively treated using eco-friendly and cost-effective technologies to avoid negative impact on the environment. This article extensively reviews on physical, chemical and biological treatment with their benefits and challenges. Biological-based treatment with higher hydraulic retention time (HRT) is economical, consumes less energy, produces less sludge and environmentally friendly. Whereas the physical and chemical methods with less hydraulic retention time is costly, produces large sludge, requires high dissolved oxygen and ecologically inefficient. Since, biological treatment is more advantageous over physical and chemical methods, researchers are concentrating on bioremediation for eliminating harmful azo dye pollutants from nature. This article provides a thorough analysis of the state-of-the-art biological treatment technologies with their developments and effectiveness in the removal of azo dyes. The mechanism by which genes encoding azoreductase enzymes (azoG, and azoK) enable the natural degradation of azo dyes by bacteria and convert them into less harmful compounds is also extensively examined. Therefore, this review also focuses on the use of genetically modified microorganisms and nano-technological approaches for bioremediation of azo dyes.

Chen Z, Feng M, Wang Y, Ling X. Comparison of treatment performance and microbial community evolution of typical dye wastewater by different combined processes. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 275:116226. [PMID: 38537479 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116226] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 03/12/2024] [Accepted: 03/14/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024]
Abstract
The degradation of typical dye wastewater is a focus of research in the printing and dyeing industry. In this study, a combined micro-electrolysis and microbial treatment method was established to treat refractory dye wastewater, and the pivotal factors in the microbial treatment were optimized. In the series and coupled modes, the removal rates of chroma reached 98.75% and 92.50%, and the removal rates of chemical oxygen demand (COD) reached 96.17% and 82.29%, respectively. The high-throughput sequencing results showed that the microbial communities in the microbial system varied at different treatment stages. From the culture stage to the domestication stage, the dominant phylum was Proteobacteria; however, the community abundance of microorganisms decreased. A combination of micro-electrolysis and biological methods can alter the characteristics of the microbial community, increase the number of dominant phyla, and increase the abundance of microorganisms. The degradation effect of the series mode and the overall strengthening effect of micro-electrolysis on the microorganisms were better than those of the coupled mode. In actual wastewater, the maximum removal rates of chroma, COD, total nitrogen (TN), ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N), and total phosphorus (TP) are 97.50%, 98.90%, 94.35%, 93.95%, and 91.17%, respectively. Three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum analysis showed that microbial processes could significantly degrade fluorescent components in wastewater, and methanogenic active enzymes in anaerobic processes could continue to react. The combined process can realize the efficient treatment of toxic dye wastewater by reducing the toxicity of wastewater and efficiently degrading organic matter, which has important guiding significance for the treatment of refractory dye wastewater.

Abstract
The evolution of emerging contaminants (ECs) has caused greater requirements and challenges to the current biological wastewater treatment technology. As one of the most promising biological treatment technologies, the aerobic granular sludge (AGS) process also faces the challenge of ECs. This study summarizes the recent progress and characteristics of several representative ECs (persistent organic pollutants, endocrine disrupting chemicals, antibiotics, and microplastics) in AGS systems that have garnered widespread attention. Additionally, the biodegradation and adsorption mechanisms of ECs were discussed, and the interactions between various ECs and AGS was elucidated. The importance of extracellular polymeric substances for the stabilization of AGS and the removal of ECs is also discussed. Knowledge gaps and future research directions that may enable the practical application of AGS are highlighted. Overall, AGS processes show great application potential and this review provides guidance for the future implementation of AGS technology as well as elucidating the mechanism of its interaction with ECs.

Abstract
Agriculture wastes have been proved to be the potential adsorbents to remove azo dye from textile wastewater, but the post-treatment of azo dye loaded agriculture waste is generally ignored. A three-step strategy including sequential adsorption-biomethanation-composting was developed to realize the co-processing of azo dye and corn straw (CS). Results showed that CS represented a potential adsorbent to remove methyl orange (MO) from textile wastewater, with the maximum MO adsorption capacity of 10.00 ± 0.46 mg/g, deriving from the Langmuir model. During the biomethanation, CS could serve as electron donor for MO decolorization and substrate for biogas production simultaneously. Though the cumulative methane yield of CS loaded with MO was 11.7 ± 2.28% lower than that of blank CS, almost complete de-colorization of MO could be achieved within 72 h. Composting could achieve the further degradation of aromatic amines (intermediates during the degradation of MO) and decomposition of digestate. After 5 days' composting, 4-aminobenzenesulfonic acid (4-ABA) was not detectable. The germination index (GI) also indicated that the toxicity of aromatic amine was eliminated. The overall utilization strategy gives novel light on the management of agriculture waste and textile wastewater.

Abstract
Effectively reduce antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in ectopic fermentation system (EFS) is essential for practical production. In this study, three experiments were performed to explore how to remove ARGs in EFS effectively. Results demonstrated that ARGs were easily enriched in rice-husk-sawdust padding; simultaneous addition of laccase and cellulase suppressed the ARGs, mainly by increasing soluble carbohydrate concentration and promoting humic acid concentration; addition of corn stalks into rice-husk-sawdust decreased the abundance of ARGs by improving the carbon source structure and enhancing cellulase activity. In conclusion, the present study provides a guidance to reduce the threat of ARGs in EFS, which paved a potential pathway to safely utilize manure resources.

Abstract
Azo dyes wastewater is characterized by high-salinity, however, the biodegradation performance and mechanisms of azo dyes by aerobic granular sludge (AGS) under different salinity levels are still unclear. Herein, the results showed that the reactor performance was almost unaffected at low-salinity levels (0.5%-1.0% salinity), and the removal efficiency of acid orange 7 (AO7) was increased by 2.6%-19.1%, possibly due to the excessive secretion of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and the enrichment of functional bacteria. Nevertheless, the microbial cell viability was negatively affected by high-salinity level (2.0% salinity), leading to the deterioration of AO7 and nutrient removal efficiencies. The AO7 removal was achieved by rapid adsorption and slow biodegradation. The biodegradation pathway indicated that AO7 was gradually mineralized in the AGS system through desulfurization, deamination, decarboxylation and hydroxylation. Altogether, this work provides an important reference for the application of AGS technology for treating saline azo dye wastewaters.

Abstract
Large-flow waste gas generated from the pharmaceutical and chemical industry usually contains low concentrations of VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and it is also the key factor that presents challenges in terms of disposal. To date, due to the limitations of mass transfer rate and microbial degradation ability, the degradation performance of VOCs using the biological method has not been ideal. Therefore, in this study, the sludge from a chlorobenzene-containing wastewater treatment plant was inoculated into our experimental bio-trickling filter (BTF) to explore the feasibility of domestication and degradation of gaseous chlorobenzene by highly active microorganisms. The kinetics of its mass transfer reaction and microbial community dynamics were also discussed. Moreover, the main process parameters of BTF for chlorobenzene degradation were optimized. The results showed that the degradation effect of chlorobenzene reached more than 85% at an inlet concentration of chlorobenzene 700 mg·m−3, oxygen concentration of 10%, and an empty bed retention time (EBRT) of 80 s. The mass transfer kinetic analysis indicated that the process of chlorobenzene degradation in the BTF occurred between the zero-stage reaction and the first-stage reaction. This BTF contributed significantly to the biodegradability of chlorobenzene, overcoming the limitation of gas-to-liquid/solid mass transfer of chlorobenzene. The analysis of the species diversity showed that Thermomonas, Petrimona, Comana, and Ottowia were typical organic-matter-degrading bacteria that degraded chlorobenzene efficiently with xylene present.

Abstract
With a large number of Congo red used in textiles, Congo red wastewater was not easily degraded, resulting in environmental and health-related problems. In order to improve the degradation efficiency of Congo red wastewater, A novel intimately coupled photocatalysis and biodegradation (ICPB) system was prepared by coupling Rhodopseudomonas palustris (R. Palustris), carbon nanotube - silver modified titanium dioxide photocatalytic composite (CNT-Ag -TiO2, CAT) and sodium alginate (SA) (R. palustris/CAT@SA). Compared with immobilized CAT and R. palustris, the R. palustris/CAT@SA improved the degradation and removal rates of Congo red by 14.3% and 42.1%, and the COD removal rates by 76% and 44.6%, respectively. The mechanism of the degradation of Congo red by the new ICPB was that the Congo red on the surface of the support was degraded into long-chain alkanes by the superoxide and hydroxyl radicals of CAT product, and then the long-chain alkanes were completely mineralization by R. Palustris, which reduced the accumulation of intermediates in the photocatalysis. Most of the Congo red was adsorbed to the interior of the carrier was degraded into aromatic hydrocarbons by R. Palustris, and then oxidized and degraded by CAT, and a small part of the Congo red would be directly mineralized by R. Palustris. A novel technical solution of R. palustris/CAT@SA provided a potential application to the degradation of dye wastewater.

Abstract
Developing multi-functional media for effectively removing different contaminants coexisted in wastewater system is highly desired. Herein, zein, a natural protein possessing abundant functional groups in molecule, is chosen to be fabricated into micro/nanofibrous membranes as adsorbents and separation media. Zein fibers with novel groove ribbon structures, which possess better structural characteristics, are designed for obtaining good adsorption performance. The adsorption performances of zein fiber membranes are evaluated. The results show that zein fiber membranes have the adsorption capacities up to 94 g/g for motor oil, 168 mg/g for Congo red, and 189 mg/g for Pb2+ ion for 1000 mg/L initial solution concentration, showing considerable competitiveness as compared with the reported adsorbents. The zein membrane with groove ribbon fiber morphology exhibits optimal adsorption capability and can be attractive multi-functional separation media.

Abstract
A novel magnetic hydrochar synthesized from Fenton sludge (FS) and sewage sludge (SS) was employed in the anaerobic decolorization of acid orange 7 (AO7). The stable presence of Fe3O4 in magnetic hydrochar was confirmed by physicochemical characterization. The degradation efficiency of AO7 in the anaerobic system with the addition of hydrochar prepared in an optimal proportion (SS:FS=1:3, named as HC-1:3) could reach 98.55%, which was 1.91 times higher than the control system. Particularly, superior electrical conductivity, electron transport system activity and azo reductase activity of the sludge in anaerobic system with HC-1:3 were achieved. The redox of Fe(Ⅲ)/Fe(Ⅱ) in anaerobic system was realized by dissimilatory iron-reducing bacteria enriched with HC-1:3. According to the six-cycle batch experiments and 120-day continuous-flow UASB experiments, the addition of HC-1:3 into the anaerobic system facilitated the diversity of microbiological community and increased the ecological stability of anaerobic system. The possible electron transfer mechanism involving in the magnetic hydrochar-based anaerobic system for AO7 removal was speculated preliminarily. The as-prepared magnetic hydrochar not only showed a promising future in anaerobic system for recalcitrant contaminants degradation, but also provided a new approach for the resource utilization of FS and SS.

Abstract
Presence of methanotrophs in diverse environmental habitats helps to reduce emissions of greenhouse gas like methane. Isolation and culture of undiscovered wealth of methanotrophic organisms can help in exploitation of these organisms in value added products. The present study focuses on the enrichment of methanotroph dominated mixed microbial community by use of three stage strategy of revival, proliferation, and segregation. During the enrichment process amplicon sequencing of 16 s rRNA V3-V4 region showed relative abundance of mixed culture comprising single methanotrophic species of Methylocystis genus (88.92%) along with only three other species. Methylocystis dominant mixed culture (MMI-11) was observed to produce polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA). During studies to identify favourable culture conditions, nitrate was found to be preferred nitrogen source for growth and PHA production. Cell growth ability to produce PHA was also evaluated at 14 L fermentor by supplying gas using continuous bubbling and through pressurization in the headspace. The mixed methanotrophic culture was found to accumulate maximum of 22.20% polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) under nitrate limited condition. The molecular weight of PHB was found to be 2.221 × 105 g mol-1 with polydispersity of 1.82.

Abstract
Casein (CS) and graphene oxide (GO) were employed for the fabrication of a casein/graphene oxide (CS/GO) aerogel by vacuum freeze drying. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, surface area and micropore analysis (BET), and thermogravimetric analysis were used to characterize the specific surface area, structure, thermal stability, and morphology of the CS/GO aerogel. The influence of experimental parameters such as the GO mass fraction in the aerogel, metering of the adsorbent, pH, contact time, and temperature on the adsorption capacity of the CS/GO aerogel on methylene blue (MB) was also investigated. According to Langmuir isotherm determination, the maximum removal rate of MB from the CS/GO aerogel was 437.29 mg/g when the temperature was 293 K and pH was 8. Through kinetic and thermodynamic studies, it is found that adsorption follows a pseudo-second-order reaction model and is also an exothermic and spontaneous process.

Abstract
Environment-friendly nano-catalysts capable of activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) have received increasing attention recently. Nevertheless, traditional nano-catalysts are generally well dispersed and difficult to be separated from reaction system, so it is particularly important to develop nano-catalysts with both good catalytic activity and excellent recycling efficiency. In this work, magnetically recoverable Fe3O4-modified ternary CoFeCu-layered double hydroxides (Fe3O4/CoFeCu-LDHs) was prepared by a simple co-precipitation method and initially applied to activate PMS for the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB). X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method (BET), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) were applied to characterize morphology, structure, specific surface area and magnetism. In addition, the effects of several key parameters were evaluated. The Fe3O4/CoFeCu-LDHs exhibited high catalytic activity, and RhB degradation efficiency could reach 100% within 20 min by adding 0.2 g/L of catalyst and 1 mmol/L of PMS into 50 mg/L of RhB solution under a wide pH condition (3.0-7.0). Notably, the Fe3O4/CoFeCu-LDHs showed good super-paramagnetism and excellent stability, which could be effectively and quickly recovered under magnetic condition, and the degradation efficiency after ten cycles could still maintain 98.95%. Both radicals quenching tests and electron spin resonance (ESR) identified both HO• and SO4•- were involved and SO4•- played a dominant role on the RhB degradation. Finally, the chemical states of the sample's surface elements were measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and the possible activation mechanism in Fe3O4/CoFeCu-LDHs/PMS system was proposed according to comprehensive analysis.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis of a novel bio-nanocomposite (Alg-Cst/Kal) for the effective removal of the dye "Crystal Violet" from its aqueous solutions. In order to observe the surface morphology and functional groups, the bio-nanocomposite was characterized using various techniques such as SEM, EDX, TEM, FTIR, XRD, and TGA. The effect of parameters like contact time, pH, concentration and temperature on the adsorption of the dye over adsorbent has been studied in detail. The dye - adsorbent system has been tested over various isotherm models and found to follow the Freundlich adsorption isotherm model at 303 K. The developed bio-nanocomposite material exhibits an excellent adsorption toward Crystal Violet with a maximum adsorption capacity of 169.49 mg.g-1. The experimental data has been further validated by applying various kinetic models and the pseudo-second order kinetic model was the best suited model. The calculated rate constant values ranged from 0.0046 to 0.0204 g.mg-1.min-1 for different dye concentrations. The positive values of change in enthalpy, ΔH° (9.765 kJ.mol-1) and change in entropy, ΔS° (0.0565 kJ.mol-1.K-1) obtained through thermodynamic studies demonstrate the endothermic nature and spontaneity of the adsorption process, respectively. The adsorption capacity of the adsorbent for the removal of the Crystal Violet dye was also compared with other adsorbents and found maximum. Novelty statement A novel bio-nanocomposite is synthesized by modifying the biopolymer alginate, cysteine and mixing the clay, kaolinite (Kal). The adsorption abilities of the material was tested the on the cationic hazardous dye, Crystal Violet. The material is novel and no attempt has so far been made to examine its batch adsorption abilities to remove hazardous dyes from the wastewater. The results are highly encouraging as out of all the adsorbents tested so far highest adsorption of the dye is observed in the present studies.

Abstract
During anaerobic treatment of azo dye wastewater, the decolorization efficiency is low and dissolved redox mediators (RMs) added to the system are easy lost. In order to solve these issues, immobilized RMs have been a hot area of research. In this study a novel immobilized RM material, disodium anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate (AQDS)-chitosan globules, which is natural, highly efficient and environmentally friendly, was prepared. Compared with natural immobilized RMs (activated carbon) and dissolved RMs (AQDS), it can be considered that it has a significant strengthening effect on the anaerobic biological degradation and decolorization of azo dye wastewater. An electron donor (ED, glucose) or RM (AQDS solution) was dosed into an anaerobic reactor to determine the enhancing effect and appropriate concentration for the decolorization treatment. The results indicate that a certain concentration of ED or RM [300 mg/L (1.667 mmol/L) glucose or 200 μmol/L AQDS solution] can improve effectively the anaerobic biological degradation and decolorization effect of azo dye wastewater. While by adding both 300 mg/L (1.667 mmol/L) glucose and 300 μmol/L AQDS (the concentrations were the initial reactive concentrations) together the decolorization efficiency was improved further. At the same time, the synergy of ED (glucose) and RM (AQDS solution) on the anaerobic decolorization of azo dye was simulated by the central combination design. A mathematical model for the decolorization efficiency has been established. According to this model, the hydraulic retention time of the best decolorization speed and efficiency has been obtained.

Abstract
In the last 3 years alone, over 10,000 publications have appeared on the topic of dye removal, including over 300 reviews. Thus, the topic is very relevant, although there are few articles on the practical applications on an industrial scale of the results obtained in research laboratories. Therefore, in this review, we focus on advanced oxidation methods integrated with biological methods, widely recognized as highly efficient treatments for recalcitrant wastewater, that have the best chance of industrial application. It is extremely important to know all the phenomena and mechanisms that occur during the process of removing dyestuffs and the products of their degradation from wastewater to prevent their penetration into drinking water sources. Therefore, particular attention is paid to understanding the mechanisms of both chemical and biological degradation of dyes, and the kinetics of these processes, which are important from a design point of view, as well as the performance and implementation of these operations on a larger scale.

Abstract
This first-attempted study illustrated the calcium oxide (CaO) agentia-pretreatment for prompting waste activated sludge (WAS) solubilization and enhancing volatile fatty acids (VFAs) bio-production through acidogenic fermentation. The 15-h CaO pretreatment was capable to produce a soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD) yield of ca. 153.17 mg COD/g VS and VFAs generation efficiency of 327.8 mg COD/g VS with adding dosage of 0.07 g/g TS. The relative frequencies corresponded to metabolic functions profiling were promoted obviously by CaO pretreatment and contributed to biosolid decomposition/VFAs production in sludge fermentation. Main genera of Azonexus, Arcobacter, Acinetobacter, Thauera, Petrimonas, Clostrium and Macellibacteroides cooperated synergically toward triggering concurrent VFAs generation/biosolid biodegradation. Finally, the CaO-pretreatment displayed positive merits in terms of sludge biosolid decomposition/recoverable resource harvest as compared with other alkali pretreatments. This study might shed lights on enriching intensification strategy for WAS management toward high-efficiency of recoverable resource harvest with lower cost.

Abstract
A novel direct Z-scheme NiGa2O4/CeO2 nanocomposite was designed and prepared via simple sol-hydrothermal and calcination methods, and its sonocatalytic activity was tested by studying the degradation of a model antimicrobial agent, malachite green (MG), under ultrasonic irradiation. Near complete (96.2%) degradation of MG (at 10 mg/L) could be achieved by the NiGa2O4/CeO2 nanocomposite (at 1.0 g/L) after ultrasonic irradiation (40 kHz, 300 W) for 60 min at 25 °C. Under the same conditions, only 51.2 and 72.0% of the MG degraded in the presence of NiGa2O4 and CeO2 (at 1.0 g/L), respectively. These results demonstrate that the direct Z-scheme NiGa2O4/CeO2 nanocomposite has excellent sonocatalytic activity, which is attributed to the matching band-gaps between NiGa2O4 and CeO2. The sonocatalytic activity of NiGa2O4/CeO2 nanocomposite decreased by 17% after four cycles of reuse, which is indicative of relatively good reusability. Scavenging experiments revealed that sonocatalytic degradation of MG results from the combined action of hydroxyl radicals (OH) and holes (h+), with the latter having a greater contribution. The pathways and mechanism of MG degradation were proposed based on the degradation intermediates detected. The results demonstrate that the prepared direct Z-scheme NiGa2O4/CeO2 nanocomposite worked as designed and exhibited high and stable sonocatalytic activity during MG degradation, and could thus serve as a promising candidate in sonocatalytic treatment of other organic pollutants in wastewaters. The findings also provide new insights on the mechanism of sonocatalytic degradation and the design of efficient Z-scheme sonocatalysts.
