WATER RESEARCH 2024; 258:121778. [PMID: 38795549 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2024.121778] [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: 12/11/2023] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/12/2024] [Indexed: 05/28/2024]
Abstract
Biotechnology for wastewater treatment is mainstream and effective depending upon microbial redox reactions to eliminate diverse contaminants and ensure aquatic ecological health. However, refractory organic nitrogen compounds (RONCs, e.g., nitro-, azo-, amide-, and N-heterocyclic compounds) with complex structures and high toxicity inhibit microbial metabolic activity and limit the transformation of organic nitrogen to inorganic nitrogen. This will eventually result in non-compliance with nitrogen discharge standards. Numerous efforts suggested that applying exogenous electron donors or acceptors, such as solid electrodes (electrostimulation) and limited oxygen (micro-aeration), could potentially regulate microbial redox reactions and catabolic pathways, and facilitate the biotransformation of RONCs. This review provides comprehensive insights into the microbial regulation mechanisms and applications of electrostimulation and micro-aeration strategies to accelerate the biotransformation of RONCs to organic amine (amination) and inorganic ammonia (ammonification), respectively. Furthermore, a promising approach involving in-situ hybrid anaerobic biological units, coupled with electrostimulation and micro-aeration, is proposed towards engineering applications. Finally, employing cutting-edge methods including multi-omics analysis, data science driven machine learning, technology-economic analysis, and life-cycle assessment would contribute to optimizing the process design and engineering implementation. This review offers a fundamental understanding and inspiration for novel research in the enhanced biotechnology towards RONCs elimination.

Hydrogen bond-mediated self-assembly of Tin (II) oxide wrapped with Chitosan/[BzPy]Cl network: An effective bionanocomposite for textile wastewater remediation. Heliyon 2024; 10:e24771. [PMID: 38322939 PMCID: PMC10845255 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e24771] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2023] [Revised: 11/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/14/2024] [Indexed: 02/08/2024] Open
Abstract
A novel and efficient bionanocomposite was synthesized by incorporating SnO into chitosan (Ch) and a room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL). The bionanocomposite was synthesized in benzoyl pyridinium chloride [BzPy]Cl to maintain the unique properties of SnO, chitosan, and the ionic liquid. Adsorption and photodegradation processes were applied to evaluate the bionanocomposite for removing azo and anthraquinone dyes and textile wastewater. SnO/[BzPy]Cl and SnO/[BzPy]Cl/Ch samples were prepared and characterized using various techniques, including FT-IR, SEM, XRD, EDAX, XPS, DSC, TGA, nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherm, and DRS analysis. SEM analysis revealed a hierarchical roughened rose flower-like morphology for the biocomposite. The band gap energies of SnO/[BzPy]Cl and SnO/[BzPy]Cl/chitosan were found to be 3.9 and 3.3 eV, respectively, indicating a reduction in the band gap energy with the introduction of [BzPy]Cl and chitosan. SnO/[BzPy]Cl/Ch showed high removal rates (92-95 %) for Fast Red, Blue 15, Red 120, Blue 94, Yellow 160, and Acid Orange 7 dyes. The adsorption kinetics followed a pseudo-second-order model. In addition, the effect of different photodegradation parameters such as solution pH, dye concentrations, contact time, and amount of photocatalyst, was studied. Given the optimal results obtained in removing azo and anthraquinone dyes, the SnO/[BzPy]Cl/Ch nanocomposite was used as an efficient nanocomposite for removing dyes from textile wastewater. The highest removal efficiency was found to be 95.8 %, obtained under ultraviolet and visible light. Furthermore, BOD and COD reduction analysis showed significant reductions, indicating the excellent performance of the photocatalyst.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 268:115681.

Abstract
Anthraquinone is a redox mediator that can effectively catalyze the degradation of azo dyes by promoting the electron transfer. In this study, a mediator membrane with poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) as the membrane support and 1,8-dichloroanthraquinone (1,8-AQ) and graphene oxide (GO) as the additives was prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and water contact angle. The introduction of GO increases the pure water flux of the membrane to 258.56±12.93 L/(m2·h). Its catalytic performances for the biodegradation of azo dyes were evaluated. Under the optimized conditions, the 1,8-AQ/GO/PVDF composite membrane is able to improve the dye degradation efficiency 2.2 times for reactive red X-3B and 1.1 times for acid red B, as compared with PVDF membrane. In addition, the mediator membrane maintains stable and high catalytic efficiency in the cyclic test and over 90 % dye degradation efficiency is still obtained after 5 cycles of decolorization. These results suggest the great application potentials of the 1,8-AQ/GO/PVDF membrane in the dye wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Various types of colored pigments have been recovered naturally from biological sources including shells, flowers, insects, and so on in the past. At present, such natural colored substances (dyes) are replaced by manmade dyes. On the other hand, due to their continuous usage in various purpose, these artificial dyes or colored substances persist in the environmental surroundings. For example, industrial wastewater contains diverse pollutant substances including dyes. Several of these (artificial dyes) were found to be toxic to living organisms. In recent times, microbial-based removal of dye(s) has gained more attention. These methods were relatively inexpensive for eliminating such contaminants in the environmental system. Hence, various researchers were isolated microbes from environmental samples having the capability of decolorizing synthetic dyes from industrial wastewater. Furthermore, the microorganisms which are genetically engineered found higher degradative/decolorize capacity to target compounds in the natural environs. Very few reviews are available on specific dye treatment either by chemical treatments or by bacteria and/or fungal treatments. Here, we have enlightened literature reports on the removal of different dyes in microbes like bacteria (including anaerobic and aerobic), fungi, GEM, and microbial enzymes and also green-synthesized nanoparticles. This up-to-date literature survey will help environmental managements to co-up such contaminates in nature and will help in the decolorization of dyes.

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.

WASTE MANAGEMENT (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2023; 170:40-49. [PMID: 37544233 DOI: 10.1016/j.wasman.2023.07.034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2023] [Revised: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 07/31/2023] [Indexed: 08/08/2023]
Abstract
Aromatic azo dyes possess inherent resistance and are known to be carcinogenic, posing a significant threat to human and ecosystems. Enhancing the biodegradation of azo dyes usually requires the presence of co-metabolic substrates to optimize the process. In addressing the issue of excessive waste activated sludge (WAS) generation, this study explored the potential of utilizing alkaline-thermal hydrolysate of WAS as a co-metabolic substrate to boost the degradation of reactive black 5 (RB5) dyes. The acclimated microbial consortium, when supplemented with the WAS hydrolysate obtained at a hydrolysis temperature of 30 °C, achieved an impressive RB5 decolorization efficiency of 90.3% (pH = 7, 35 °C) with a corresponding COD removal efficiency of 45.0%. The addition of WAS hydrolysate as a co-substrate conferred the consortium with a remarkable tolerance to high dye concentration (1500 mg/L RB5) and salinity levels (4-5%), surpassing the performance of conventional co-metabolic sugars in RB5 degradation. 3D-EEM analysis revealed that protein-like substances rich in tyrosine and tryptophan, present in the WAS hydrolysate, played a crucial role in promoting RB5 biodegradation. Furthermore, the microbial consortium community exhibited an enrichment of dye-degrading species, including Acidovorax, Bordetella, Kerstersia, and Brevundimonas, which dominated the community. Notably, functional genes associated with dye degradation and intermediates were also enriched during the RB5 decolorization and biodegradation process. These findings present a practical strategy for the simultaneous treatment of dye-containing wastewater and recycling of WAS.

Abstract
Azo dyes are significant organic pollutants known for their adverse effects on humans and aquatic life. In this study, anthraquinone-2-sulfonate (AQS) immobilized on biochar (BC) was employed as a novel carrier in up-flow anaerobic fixed-bed reactors to induce specific biofilm formation and promote the biotransformation efficiency of azo dyes. Novel carrier-packed reactor 1 (R1) and BC-packed reactor 2 (R2) were used to treat red reactive 2 (RR2) under continuous operation for 175 days. The decolorization rates of R1 and R2 were 96-83% and 91-73%, respectively. The physicochemical characteristics and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) of the biofilm revealed a more stable structure in R1. Furthermore, the microbial community in R1 interacted more closely with each other and contained more keystone genera. Overall, this study provides a feasible method for improving the biotransformation of azo dyes, thus providing support for practical applications in wastewater treatment projects.

Simultaneous removal of refractory organic pollutants and nitrogen using electron shuttle suspended biofilm carriers in an integrated hydrolysis/acidification-anoxic/aerobic process. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 333:138946. [PMID: 37196792 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.138946] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 04/26/2023] [Accepted: 05/14/2023] [Indexed: 05/19/2023]
Abstract
Azo dyes wastewater contains refractory pollutant and nitrogen, which threatens human health and ecological environment when discharged into environment directly. Electron shuttle (ES) is able to participate in the extracellular electron transfer, and thus enhances the removal efficiency of refractory pollutant. However, the continuous dosing of soluble ES would rise operation cost and cause contamination inevitably. In this study, a type of insoluble ES (carbonylated graphene oxide (C-GO)) was developed and melt blended into polyethylene (PE) to prepare novel C-GO-modified suspended carriers. Compared to those of conventional carrier (31.60%), the surface active sites of novel C-GO-modified carrier increased to 52.95%. An integrated hydrolysis/acidification (HA, filled with C-GO-modified carrier) - anoxic/aerobic (AO, filled with clinoptilolite-modified carrier) process was applied to remove azo dye acid red B (ARB) and nitrogen simultaneously. ARB removal efficiency was significantly improved in the reactor filled with C-GO-modified carriers (HA2) compared to the reactor filled with conventional PE carriers (HA1) or activated sludge (HA0). Total nitrogen (TN) removal efficiency of the proposed process increased by 25.95-32.64% compared to the reactor filled with activated sludge. Moreover, the intermediates of ARB were identified by liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer (LC-MS), and the degradation pathway of ARB through ES was proposed. C-GO-modified carriers induced ARB-removal-related bacterial enrichment (such as Chloroflexi, Lactivibrio, Longilinea, Bacteroidales and Anaerolineaceae). Besides, the relative abundance of denitrifiers and nitrifiers in the AO reactor filled with clinoptilolite-modified carrier was increased by 11.60% compared with activated sludge. Copy numbers of genes related to membrane transport, carbon/energy metabolism and nitrogen metabolism increased significantly on the surface-modified carriers. This study proposed an efficient approach for simultaneous azo dyes and nitrogen removal, showing potential in actual application.

Abstract
The textile industry generates significant amounts of wastewater containing high concentrations of azo dyes. An important point in the process of purification of azo dyes is their influence on the activated sludge (AS) in wastewater treatment plants. Azo dyes, such as amaranth, play the role of xenobiotics. This article seeks to answer the question of how organisms manage to respond to xenobiotics remains very important and open, i.e., how they will react to toxic conditions. The aim of this research was to study how these changes are expressed in terms of the different trophic levels of AS. In our experiment, it was found that the dominant trophic units are significantly changed due to the xenobiotic entering the system. The data reveal the significant development of the bacterial segment (genus Pseudomonas and azo-degrading bacteria) at times of large amaranth removal. In the most active phase of amaranth biodetoxification (48 h), the culturable bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas change by about 40%, while the azo-degrading bacteria change by about 2%. Fauna organisms have a sharp change in the dominant groups-from attached and crawling ciliates and testate amoebas to the mass development of small and large flagellates. This is of great importance because micro- and metafauna play an important role in the detoxification process by ingesting some of the xenobiotics. This role is expressed in the fact that after dying, macro-organisms release this xenobiotic in small portions so that it can then be effectively degraded by adapting to the amaranth biodegradation bacteria. In this study, it is clear that all these events lead to a decline in the quality of AS. But on the other hand, these allow AS to survive as a microbial community, and the fauna segment does not disappear completely.

Abstract
Biological treatment methods overcome many of the drawbacks of physicochemical strategies and play a significant role in removing dye contamination for environmental sustainability. Numerous microorganisms have been investigated as promising dye-degrading candidates because of their high metabolic potential. However, few can be applied on a large scale because of the extremely harsh conditions in effluents polluted with multiple dyes, such as alkaline pH, high salinity/heavy metals/dye concentration, high temperature, and oxidative stress. Therefore, extremophilic microorganisms offer enormous opportunities for practical biodegradation processes as they are naturally adapted to multi-stress conditions due to the special structure of their cell wall, capsule, S-layer proteins, extracellular polymer substances (EPS), and siderophores structural and functional properties such as poly-enzymes produced. This review provides scientific information for a broader understanding of general dyes, their toxicity, and their harmful effects. The advantages and disadvantages of physicochemical methods are also highlighted and compared to those of microbial strategies. New techniques and methodologies used in recent studies are briefly summarized and discussed. In particular, this study addresses the key adaptation mechanisms, whole-cell, enzymatic degradation, and non-enzymatic pathways in aerobic, anaerobic, and combination conditions of extremophiles in dye degradation and decolorization. Furthermore, they have special metabolic pathways and protein frameworks that contribute significantly to the complete mineralization and decolorization of the dye when all functions are turned on. The high potential efficiency of microbial degradation by unculturable and multi-enzyme-producing extremophiles remains a question that needs to be answered in practical research.

Abstract
An innovative design of microbial electrolytic reactor (MER) coupled with Ipomoea aquaticaForsk. plant microbial fuel cell (IAF-PMFC) was developed for azo dye wastewater treatment and electricity generation. This study aims to assess the sequential degradation of azo dye and the feasibility of energy self-sufficiency in the MER/IAF-PMFC system. The decomposition of azo dye into aromatic amines and dye decolorization occurred in the MER at high hydraulic loading of 0.28 m3/(m2·d), while dye intermediates were mainly mineralized in the IAF-PMFC at low hydraulic loading of 0.06 m3/(m2·d). The final decolorization efficiency and COD removal of the combined system reached 99.64% and 92.06% respectively, even at influent dye concentration of 1000 mg/L. The effects of open/closed circuit conditions, presence/absence of aquatic plant and different cathode areas on the performance of the IAF-PMFC for treating the effluent of the MER were systematically tested, and the results showed that closed-circuit condition, plant involvement and larger cathode area were more beneficial to decolorization, detoxification and mineralization of dye wastewater, bioelectricity output, plant growth and photosynthetic rate. The power consumption by the MER was 0.0163 kWh/m3 of dye wastewater, while the highest power generation of the IAF-PMFC reached 0.0183 kWh/m3. The current efficiency of the MER for dye decolorization was as high as 942.83%, while the maximum coulombic efficiency of the IAF-PMFC for intermediates metabolism was only 6.30%, which still had much space of bioelectricity generation promotion. The MER/IAF-PMFC technology can simultaneously realize refractory wastewater treatment and balance of electricity production and consumption.

Abstract
A novel, circular economy-inspired approach for the "passive" (non-powered and reagent-free) treatment of dye-bearing effluent is presented. The treatment utilises the biogeochemical interaction of dye-bearing wastewater with hydrous ferric oxide (HFO) bearing sludges. The work presented demonstrates for the first time the reuse of HFO-rich waste sludges from potable water and mine water treatment. The waste was used directly without modification or reagent addition, as media/substrate in simple flow-through reactors for the decolourisation and biodegradation of methyl orange (MO) and mixed dyes textile effluent. Three phases of exploratory proof of concept work were undertaken. Columns containing HFO sludges were challenged with solution of MO, and MO amended with glycerol (Phase I), MO in a synthetic textile effluent recipe (Phase II), and real mixed textile effluent containing a mixture of dyes (Phase III). After an initial lag period extensive decolourisation of dye was observed in all cases at rates comparable with pure strains and engineered bioreactor processes, with evidence of biodegradation beyond simple cleavage of the mono azo chromophore and mineralisation. The microbiology of the initial sludge samples in both cases exhibited a diverse range of iron oxidising and reducing bacteria. However, post experiment the microbiology of sludge evolved from being dominated by Proteobacteria to being dominated by Firmicutes. Distinct changes in the microbial community structure were observed in post-treatment MWTS and WTWS where genera capable of iron and sulphate reduction and/or aromatic amine degradation were identified. Average nitrogen removal rates for the columns ranged from 27.8 to 194 g/m3/day which is higher than engineered sequential anaerobic-aerobic bioreactor. Postulated mechanisms for the fast anaerobic decolourisation, biodegradation, and mineralisation of the dyes (as well nitrogen transformations) include various direct and indirect enzymatic and metabolic reactions, as well as reductive attack by continuously regenerated reductants such as Fe(II), HFO bound Fe(II), FeS, and HS-. The ability of iron reducers to degrade aromatic rings is also considered important in the further biodegradation and complete mineralisation of organic carbon. The study reveals that abundant and ubiquitous HFO-rich waste sludges, can be used without amendment, as a substrate in simple flow-through bioremediation system for the decolourisation and partial biodegradation of dyes in textile effluent.

Abstract
In this study, we investigate the ability of barium titanate/silver nanoparticles (BaTiO3/AgNPs) composites deposited on a fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass using tape-casting method to produce piezoelectric thin film (FTO/BaTiO3/AgNPs) for piezocatalytic, photocatalytic, and piezo-photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) in wastewater. The prepared piezoelectric materials (BaTiO3 and BaTiO3/AgNPs) were characterized using XRD, SEM, TEM, EDS, UV-DRS, TGA, PL, BET, EIS, and chronoamperometry. The UV-DRS showed the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of Ag nanoparticles on the surface of BaTiO3 at a wavelength of 505 nm. The TEM images revealed the average Ag nanoparticle size deposited on the surface of BaTiO3 to be in the range of 10-15 nm. The chronoamperometry showed that the photoreduction of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) onto BaTiO3 (BTO) resulted in a piezo-electrochemical current enhancement from 0.24 to 0.38 mA. The composites (FTO/BaTiO3/AgNPs) achieved a higher degradation of MB and CIP when the photocatalysis and piezocatalysis processes were merged. Under both ultrasonic vibration and UV light exposure, FTO/BTO/AgNPs degraded about 72 and 98% of CIP and MB from wastewater, respectively. These piezoelectric thin films were shown to be efficient and reusable even after five cycles, suggesting that they are highly stable. Furthermore, the reactive oxygen species studies demonstrated that hydroxyl radicals (·OH) were the most effective species during degradation of MB, with minor superoxide radicals (·O2 -) and holes (h+). From this study, we were able to show that these materials can be used as multifunctional materials as they were able to degrade both the dye and pharmaceutical pollutants. Moreover, they were more efficient through the piezo-photocatalytic process.

Abstract
Chemical structure of azo dyes molecules showed significant influence on their decolorization rate, while the structure-activity relationship between chemical structure and their reduction decolorization rate is not fully understand. In this study, we found that azo dye molecule with closer position for electron-withdrawing substituent to azo bond resulted in faster chemical and biotic reduction rate with or without presence of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), while electron-repulsive substituent closer to azo bond leading to slower azo dye chemical and biotic reduction rate no matter with or without presence of CNTs. Additionally, galvanic cell experiments implied that electron transfer process may play important roles for both chemical and biological reduction decolorization of azo dyes, and CV results indicated that the higher (azo bond breakage) reduction wave potential corresponding to a faster azo dye chemical decolorization reaction. Finally, the results of Lowest Unoccupied Molecular Orbital (LUMO) energy established that lower LUMO energy for azo dye corresponding to a faster chemical decolorization reaction. This study not only offer systematized relationships between structure property of azo dye and their decolorization rate, but also provide a universal and propagable reduction rules.

Biological Degradation of the Azo Dye Basic Orange 2 by Escherichia coli: A Sustainable and Ecofriendly Approach for the Treatment of Textile Wastewater. WATER 2022.

Abstract
In this study, initially 11 different bacterial strains were tested for the degradation capabilities against Basic Orange 2 dye. In initial screening with 78.90% degradation activity, Escherichia coli emerged as the most promising strain to degrade the selected dye, and was then employed in subsequent experiments. For further enhancing the degradation capability of selected bacteria, the effects of various physicochemical parameters were also evaluated. Among the tested parameters, 20 ppm dye concentration, 1666 mg/L glucose concentration, a temperature of 40 °C, 666 mg/L sodium chloride concentration, pH 7, 1000 mg/L urea concentration, a 3-day incubation period and the use of sodium benzoate as a redox mediator (666 mg/L) were found to be ideal conditions to get the highest decolorization/degradation activities. Finally, all the mentioned parameters were combined in a single set of experiments, and the decolorization capacity of the bacteria was enhanced to 89.88%. The effect of pH, dye concentration, incubation time and temperature were found to be responsible for the optimum degradation of dye (p < 0.05), as predicted from the ANOVA (analysis of variance) of the response surface methodology. The metabolites were collected after completion of the process and characterized through Fourier transform irradiation (FTIR) and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). From the data obtained, a proposed mechanism was deduced where it was assumed that the azo bond of the dye was broken by the azoreductase enzyme of the bacteria, resulting in the formation of aniline and 3, 4-diaminobezeminium chloride. The aniline was then further converted to benzene by deamination by the action of the bacterial deaminase enzyme. The benzene ring, after subsequent methylation, was transformed into o-xylene, while 3, 4-diaminobezeminium chloride was converted to p-xylene by enzymatic action. These findings suggest that Escherichia coli is a capable strain to be used in the bioremediation of textile effluents containing azo dyes. However, the selected bacterial strain may need to be further investigated for other dyes as well.

Abstract
In a batch reactor, the EF advanced oxidation decolorization of aqueous solutions of methyl orange MO, a commercial azo reactive textile dye, was investigated in the presence of two different electrodes. The evaluation included various operational variables such as the IC current intensity (60 mA, 80 mA, and 100 mA), initial concentration of pollutant MO (20 mg/L, 40 mg/L, and 60 mg/L), initial pH of solution (3, 5, and 7), temperature of solution (20 °C, 30 °C, and 50 °C), and initial concentration of catalyst [Fe2+] (0.1 mM, 0.2 mM, and 0.3 mM) on the discoloration rate. A Box-Behnken Design of Experiment (BBD) was used to optimize the parameters that directly affect the Electro-Fenton (EF) process. Under the optimal experimental conditions such as [Fe2+] = 0.232 mM, pH = 3, IC = 80 mA, [MO] = 60 mg/L, and T = 30 ± 0.1 °C, the maximum discoloration rate achieved was 94.9%. The discoloration of the aqueous MO solution during the treatment time was confirmed by analysis of the UV-visible spectrum. After a review of the literature on organic pollutant degradation, the EF system provided here is shown to be one of the best in terms of discoloration rate when compared to other AOPs.

Abstract
In this work, the design, manufacture, and testing of three different magnetic microreactors based on torus geometries (i.e., one-loop, two-horizontal-loop, and two-vertical-loop) is explored to increase the enzyme-based transformation of dyes by laccase bio-nanocomposites, improve the particle suspension, and promote the interaction of reagents. The laccase enzyme was covalently immobilized on amino-terminated silanized magnetite nanoparticles (laccase-magnetite). The optimal configuration for the torus microreactor and the applied magnetic field was evaluated in silico with the aid of the CFD and particle tracing modules of Comsol Multiphysics®. Eriochrome Black T (EBt) dye was tested as a biotransformation model at three different concentrations, i.e., 5 mg/L, 10 mg/L, and 20 mg/L. Phenol oxidation/removal was evaluated on artificial wastewater and real wastewater. The optimal catalytic performance of the bionanocomposite was achieved in the range of pH 4 to 4.5. A parabolic movement on the particles along the microchannels was induced by the magnetic field, which led to breaking the stability of the laminar flow and improving the mixing processes. Based on the simulation and experiments conducted with the three geometries, the two-vertical-loop microreactor demonstrated a better performance mainly due to larger dead zones and a longer residence time. Additionally, the overall dye removal efficiencies for this microreactor and the laccase-magnetite bionanocomposite were 98.05%, 93.87%, and 92.74% for the three evaluated concentrations. The maximum phenol oxidation with the laccase-magnetite treatment at low concentration for the artificial wastewater was 79.89%, while its phenol removal efficiency for a large volume of real wastewater was 17.86%. Treatments with real wastewater were carried out with a larger volume, equivalent to 200 biotransformation (oxidation) operating cycles of those carried out with dyes or phenol. Taken together, our results indicate that the novel microreactors introduced here have the potential to process wastewaters rich in contaminant dyes in continuous mode with efficiencies that are attractive for a potential large-scale operation. In this regard, future work will focus on finding the requirements for scaling-up the processes and evaluating the involved environmental impact indexes, economic performance, and different device geometries and processing schemes.

Abstract
Real textile wastewater containing high salinity (up to 12.6 g·kg-1) and surfactant (up to 5.9 mg·L-1 of linear alkylbenzene sulfonate - LAS) was submitted to biological treatment for colour (up to 652 mg Pt-Co·L-1) and sulphate (up to 1,568.6 mg SO4-2·L-1) removal. The influence of ethanol and molasses supplementation was firstly evaluated in anaerobic batch reactors for the removal of dyes and sulphate. Subsequently, aiming to remove aromatic amines (dye degradation by-products), an anaerobic-aerobic continuous system supplemented with molasses was applied. Supplementation had no influence on colour removal (maximum efficiencies around 70%), while it improved sulphate reduction (23% without supplementation against 87% with supplementation), and conferred robustness to the reactors, which recovered quickly after higher salinity impact. The aerobic reactor removed aromatic amines when the level of surfactants was lower than 1.0 mg LAS·L-1, but the performance of the system was hindered when the concentration was increased to 5.9 mg LAS·L-1. Findings suggest that the supplementation of an easily biodegradable organic matter might be a strategy to overcome wastewater fluctuation in composition.

Abstract
Synthetic dyes pose a large threat to the environment and consequently to human health. Various dyes are used in textile, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries, and are released into the environment without any treatment, thus adversely affecting both the environment and neighboring human populations. Several existing physical and chemical methods for dye degradation are effective but have many drawbacks. Biological methods over the years have gained importance in the decolorization and degradation of dye and have also overcome the disadvantages of physiochemical methods. Furthermore, biological methods are eco-friendly and lead to complete decolorization. The mechanism of decolorization and degradation by several bacterial enzymes are discussed in detail. For the identification of ecologically sustainable strains and their application at the field level, we have focused on bioaugmentation aspects. Furthermore, in silico studies such as molecular docking of bacterial enzymes with dyes can give a new insight into biological studies and provide an easy way to understand the interaction at the molecular level. This review mainly focuses on an integrative approach and its importance for the effective treatment and decolorization of dyes.

Abstract
The use of dyes dates to ancient times and has increased due to population and industrial growth, leading to the rise of synthetic dyes. These pollutants are of great environmental impact and azo dyes deserve special attention due their widespread use and challenging degradation. Among the biological solutions developed to mitigate this issue, bacteria are highlighted for being versatile organisms, which can be applied as single organism cultures, microbial consortia, in bioreactors, acting in the detoxification of azo dyes breakage by-products and have the potential to combine biodegradation with the production of products of economic interest. These characteristics go hand in hand with the ability of various strains to act under various chemical and physical parameters, such as a wide range of pH, salinity, and temperature, with good performance under industry, and environmental, relevant conditions. This review encompasses studies with promising results related to the use of bacteria in the bioremediation of environments contaminated with azo dyes in the most diverse techniques and parameters, both in environmental and laboratory samples, also addressing their mechanisms and the legislation involving these dyes around the world, showcasing the importance of bacterial bioremediation, specialty in a scenario in an ever-increasing pursuit for sustainable production.

Abstract
Azo dye pollution has become a worldwide issue, and the current treatment methods can hardly meet the expected emission standards. Microbial electrochemical systems (MESs) show promising applications for decolorization, but their performance critically depends on the microorganisms. Electrode modification is an interesting method of improving decolorization performance. However, the mechanisms of how the modification can affect microbial communities and the decolorization process remain unclear. Here, a modified anode with polyaniline (PANI) and graphene was fabricated via electro-deposition. Consequently, the highest decolorization efficiency was obtained. The Congo red (CR) decolorization rate of the MESs with the PANI/graphene-modified electrode (PG) reached 90% at 54 h. By contrast, the CR decolorization rates of the MESs with the PANI-modified electrode (P) and those of the MESs with the unmodified electrode (C) only reached 68% and 79%, respectively. Results of the microbial community analysis showed abundant Methanobrevibacter arboriphilus in PG (11%), which was 5.5 times that in C (2%) at 18 h. This phenomenon may be related to the rapid decolorization. The upregulated metabolism pathways, including arginine and proline metabolism, purine metabolism, arginine biosynthesis, and riboflavin metabolism, provided more electron shuttles and redox mediators that facilitated the extracellular electron transfer. Therefore, the PG-modified electrode facilitated the decolorization by altering certain metabolic pathways. This study can help to improve the guideline on the potential application of MESs for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Anaerobic decolorization of azo dye in sulfate-containing wastewater has been regarded as an economical and effective method, but it is generally limited by the high concentration of azo dye and accumulation of toxic intermediates. To address this problem, Fe3O4 was added to one of the anaerobic reactors to investigate the effects on system performances. Results showed that AO7 removal rate, COD removal rate, and sulfate reduction were enhanced with the addition of Fe3O4 under various influent AO7 concentrations (153 mgCOD/L - 1787 mgCOD/L). According to the proposed pathway for the degradation of AO7, more intermediates (2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone, phthalide, 4-methylphenol) were produced in the presence of Fe3O4. The electron transfer capacity of sludge was also increased since Fe3O4 could stimulate to secrete humic acid-like organics in EPS. Microbial analysis showed that iron-reducing bacteria like Clostridium and Geobacter were also enriched, which were capable of azo dye and aromatic compounds degradation.

Abstract
Herein, an expanded granular sludge bed (EGSB) reactor with activated carbon (AC)-nano manganese dioxide (MnO2) added was employed for azo dye wastewater treatment to investigate its effectiveness at decolorizing of azo dyes and removing COD. The results showed that the treatment of azo dye wastewater with the AC-MnO2 modified EGSB reactor gave an 83% average decolorization efficiency, which was more efficient than the pure AC modified EGSB reactor. Moreover, the COD removal and changes in the intermediate products were controlled by AC-MnO2. Additionally, there was a sharp increase in the sludge conductivity, while there was a significant decrease in the coenzyme F420 concentration with long-term operation. Moreover, electrochemical analysis showed that the addition of AC-MnO2 can enhance electron transfer in anaerobic system. The AC-MnO2 can act as redox mediator; in the presence of the Mn4+/Mn2+ cycle, accelerating the electron transfer between the microbial cells and dyes, thereby promoting the decolorization of azo dyes. This caused a decrease in the methanogenic activity. Furthermore, high-throughput sequencing showed that the relative abundances of Pseudomonas and Desulfovibrio were significantly high among the acidogenic bacteria community, while Methanobacterium and Methanosaeta had very low abundances from among the methanogenic archaea community.

Abstract
The presence of pollutants in the water bodies deteriorate the water quality and make it unfit for use. From an environmental perspective, it is essential to develop new technologies for the wastewater treatment and recycling of dye contaminated water. The surface modified chitin and chitosan biopolymeric composites based adsorbents, have an important role in the toxic organic dyes from removal wastewater. The surface modification of biopolymers with various organics and inorganics produces more active sites at the surface of the adsorbent, which enhances dye and adsorbent interaction more reliable. Herein, the work brought in the thought of the application of various chitin and chitosan composites in wastewater remediation and suggested the versatility in composites for the development of rapid, selective and effective removal processes for the detoxification of a variety of organic dyes. It further emphasizes the existing obstruction and impending prediction for the deprivation of dyes via adsorption techniques.

Abstract
Carbon‐based materials (CBM), including activated carbon (AC), activated fibres (ACF), biochar (BC), nanotubes (CNT), carbon xenogels (CX) and graphene nanosheets (GNS), possess unique properties such as high surface area, sorption and catalytic characteristics, making them very versatile for many applications in environmental remediation. They are powerful redox mediators (RM) in anaerobic processes, accelerating the rates and extending the level of the reduction of pollutants and, consequently, affecting positively the global efficiency of their partial or total removal. The extraordinary conductive properties of CBM, and the possibility of tailoring their surface to address specific pollutants, make them promising as catalysts in the treatment of effluents containing diverse pollutants. CBM can be combined with magnetic nanoparticles (MNM) assembling catalytic and magnetic properties in a single composite (C@MNM), allowing their recovery and reuse after the treatment process. Furthermore, these composites have demonstrated extraordinary catalytic properties. Evaluation of the toxicological and environmental impact of direct and indirect exposure to nanomaterials is an important issue that must be considered when nanomaterials are applied. Though the chemical composition, size and physical characteristics may contribute to toxicological effects, the potential toxic impact of using CBM is not completely clear and is not always assessed. This review gives an overview of the current research on the application of CBM and C@MNM in bioremediation and on the possible environmental impact and toxicity.

Abstract
Recent advances in bio-electrochemical systems (BESs) for azo dye removal are gaining momentum due to having electrode biocarrier and electro-active bacteria that could stimulate decolorization via extracellular electron transfer. Enhanced decolorization performance is observed in most laboratory studies, indicating the great potential of BESs as an alternative to the traditional biological processes or serving as a pre-/post-processing unit to improve the performance of biological processes. It is proven more competitive in environmental friendly than physicochemical methods. While, the successful application of BESs to azo dye-containing wastewater remediation requires a deeper evaluation of its performance, mechanism and typical attributes, and a comprehensive potential evaluation of BESs practical application in terms of economic analysis and technical optimizations. This review is organized to address BESs as a practical option for azo dye removal by analyzing the decolorization mechanisms and involved functional microorganisms, followed by the comparisons of device configurations, operational conditions, and economic evaluation. It further highlights the current hurdles and prospects for the abatement of azo dyes via BES related techniques.

Abstract
As dye demand continues to rapidly increase in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, paper, textile, and leather industries, an industrialization increase is occurring. Meanwhile, the degradation and removal of azo dyes have raised broad concern regarding the hazards posed by these dyes to the ecological environment and human health. Physicochemical treatments have been applied but are hindered by high energy and economic costs, high sludge production, and chemicals handling. Comparatively, the bioremediation technique is an eco-friendly, removal-efficient, and cost-competitive method to resolve the problem. This paper provides scientific and technical information about recent advances in the biodegradation of azo dyes. It expands the biodegradation efficiency, characteristics, and mechanisms of various microorganisms containing bacteria, fungi, microalgae, and microbial consortia, which have been reported to biodegrade azo dyes. In addition, information about physicochemical factors affecting dye biodegradation has been compiled. Furthermore, this paper also sketches the recent development and characteristics of advanced bioreactors.

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
Polyacrylate containing wastewater (PCW) is the typical sewage discharged by the textile industry. It has extremely poor biodegradability, and chemical methods were used conventionally as the only way for treating PCW. This study is demonstrating a novel biological method. In batch experiment monod kinetics was applied to the experimental data, which indicated that anaerobic treatment used for PCW is feasible. The pilot-scale experiment combined a Spiral Symmetry Stream Anaerobic Bioreactor (SSSAB) and an air-lift external circulation vortex enhancement nitrogen removal fluidized bed bioreactor (AFB). The COD and NH4+-N removal reached up to 95.2% and 96.6%, respectively, which were higher than the value obtained by other chemical methods. High-throughput sequencing analysis indicated that the relative abundance of Proteobacteria, Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes increased, which contribute to the degradation of PCW. Therefore, PCW can be degraded efficiently by using a SSSAB-AFB technique and thus provides an alternative to the chemical methods.

Abstract
Landmark and sustainable eco-friendly dye treatment processes are highly desirous to ameliorate their effect on the environment. The present study investigated the azo dye degradation efficiency of adapted Enterobacter hormaechei SKB 16 from textile effluent polluted soil in optimized culture conditions. The adapted bacteria strain was identified by standard microbiological and molecular techniques. E. hormaechei was tested individually for the decolourizing of Reactive Yellow 145 (RY 145) and Reactive Red F3B (RR 180) dyes under optimized conditions of pH, temperature and dye concentration on decolourization were studied. The adapted bacteria strain exhibited maximum decolourization (98 %) of Reactive yellow 145 and Reactive red 180 in 100 ppm concentration at pH 7, temperature 37 °C after 98 h of incubation. The enzyme analyses revealed that azo reductase and laccase played major roles in the cleavage of the azo bond and desulfonation respectively of both dyes during degradation. The metabolites were further characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GCMS). Thereafter, degradation was deduced based on changes of the functional group, variation in retention times and mass/charge ratio and molecular weight. This study elucidated the promising potentials of adapted SKB 16 strain in the eco-friendly removal of textile azo dyes. In addition, repeatability and sustainability are enhanced due to effective management of time which would have been spent on rigorous and extensive screening process.

Abstract
It is important to obtain bacteria with the ability for reduction of dyes and Cr(Ⅵ) since dyes and Cr(Ⅵ) are often co-exist in textile wastewater. In this study, a new strain belonging to Ochrobactrum anthropi was isolated from textile wastewater, and could efficiently reduce Reactive Black 5 (RB 5) and Cr(Ⅵ). The results showed the degradation efficiency of RB 5 could achieve 100% and reduction efficiency of Cr(Ⅵ) was up to 80% within 3 days at initial RB 5 and Cr(Ⅵ) concentration of 400 mg/L and 20 mg/L. Mn2+ and Cu2+ could enhance the removal of RB 5 and Cr(Ⅵ), respectively. Glycerin, as electron donor, improved reduction efficiencies of RB 5 and Cr(Ⅵ). In addition, reduction mechanisms were further investigated. The results demonstrated that decreasing of RB 5 and Cr(Ⅵ) concentration were mainly through extracellular bioreduction rather than by adsorption. The FTIR and XPS analyses revealed that the O‒H, C‒C and C‒H groups on the cell surface might be involved in the reduction of RB 5 and Cr(Ⅵ). The information gives useful insights into understanding of how the bacterium reduce RB 5 and Cr(Ⅵ). The results indicated that the strain had excellent application prospect for treating industrial wastewater.

Abstract
Adsorption of direct red 80 (DR 80) and methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions on potato peels (PP) has been compared. The use of peels in decontamination technology is very promising given the near zero-cost for the synthesis of those adsorbents. The selected potato peels were first analyzed by scanning using electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Then the adsorption behavior was studied in a batch system. The adsorption process is affected by various parameters such as the solution pH (2-11), the initial concentration of the dye (20, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg L-1), the adsorbent dose (0.1-3%), the temperature (303.16 K, 313.16 K, and 323.16 K), agitation (up to 250 rpm), as well as the contact time. Adsorption isotherms of the studied dye on the adsorbent were determined and compared with the Langmiur, Freundlich and Temkin adsorption models. The results show that the data was most similar to the Freundlich isotherm (R2 = 0.99). The maximum adsorption capacities (Qmax) of MB and DR 80 by the PP at temperatures 303.16 K, 313.16 K and 323.16 K were found to be approximately 97.08 mg g-1; 45.87 mg g-1; 61.35 mg g-1 and 27.778 mg g-1; 45.45 mg g-1; and 32.258 mg g-1. The kinetic data was compared to the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion models. This revealed that adsorption of methylene blue onto PP abided mostly to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Calculations of various thermodynamic parameters such as enthalpy change (ΔH), entropy change (ΔS), and free energy change (ΔG) display the endothermic and spontaneous nature of the adsorption process.

Abstract
In this study, different biochar (based on different pyrolytic temperatures and iron dosage) were prepared, characterized and used as individual additives for promoting acid orange 7 (AO7) anaerobic digestion. After X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) characterization, 600 °C was proved to be the preferred temperature. Subsequently, biochar pyrolyzed at 600 °C with different iron dosage were added into five anaerobic reactors. Results showed that COD removal efficiency reached the maximum value (88.5%) with the presence of 600-1 biochar, which was 19.0% higher than control reactor (without biochar added). Further analysis indicated that more functional groups were found in 600-1 biochar could effectively improve the electron accepting capacities (EAC) and electron donating capacities (EDC). Combined with the enrichment of exoelectrogens related to syntrophic metabolism, it can be concluded that the addition of biochar could effectively improve the electron transfer efficiency which would be beneficial for AO7 removal.

Abstract
Anaerobic decolorization of azo dyes has been evidenced to be an economical and effective pretreatment method, but its generally limited by the low decolorization efficiency, especially for biodecolorization sulfonated azo dyes. In this study, magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) as a conductive material, was coupled into anaerobic system for enhancing decolorization of sulfonated azo dyes, i.e., methyl orange (MO), with technology feasibility and system stability emphasized. The results showed that the anaerobic decolorization capacity was significantly enhanced with addition of MNPs (at dose of 1 g/L), where the efficiencies of MO decolorization and aromatic amines formation were as high as 97.28 ± 0.78 % and 99.44 ± 0.25%, respectively. In addition, both electron transport system activity and sludge conductivity were also significantly improved, suggesting that a direct extracellular electron transfer had been successfully established via MNPs as RMs. Under continuous-flow experiments, addition of MNPs not only improved anaerobic system resistance environmental stress (e.g., high MO concentration, low hydraulic retention time and low co-substance concentration) but also accelerated sludge granulation. The relative abundance of functional species related to dissimilatory iron reduction and MO biodegradation were also enriched under MNPs stimulation. The observed long-term stable performance suggests the full-scale application potential of this coupled system for treatment of wastewater containing sulfonated azo dyes.

Abstract
Abstract
The threat of dye contamination has achieved an unsurpassed abnormal state lately due to their massive consumption in several enterprises including textile, leather, cosmetic, plastic, and paper industries. This review focuses on the integrations of various advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), such as Fenton, photocatalysis, and ozonation, with biodegradation for the treatment of textile azo dyes. Such integrations have been explored lately by researchers to bring down the processing cost and improve the degree of mineralization of the treated dyeing wastewater. The review refers to the basic mechanisms, the influence of various process parameters, outcomes of recent works, and future research directions. All the three AOPs, independently, demonstrated substantial color reduction of 54–100%. The ozonation process, stand-alone, showed the most efficient decolorization (of 88–100%) consistently in all reviewed research works. In contrast, all three AOPs independently offered varied and inadequate COD reduction in the range of 16–80%. The AOPs, after getting integrated with biodegradation, yielded an additional reduction (of 11–70%) in the COD-levels and (of 16–80%) in the TOC-levels. Further, the integration of AOPs with biodegradation has potential to significantly reduce the treatment costs. The review suggests further research efforts in the direction of sequencing chemical and biological routes such that their synergistic utilization yield complete detoxification of the textile azo dyes economically at large-scale.

Abstract
Anaerobic treatments have been described for the biodegradation of pollutants. However, the reactions proceed slowly due to the recalcitrant nature of these compounds. Carbon nanomaterials (CNM) intermediate in, and favor, the electron transfer, accelerating the anaerobic reduction of pollutants, which act as final electron acceptors. In the present work, different carbon nanotubes (CNT) with modified surface chemistry, namely CNT oxidized with HNO3 (CNT_HNO3) and CNT doped with nitrogen in a ball milling process (CNT_N_MB) were prepared using commercial CNT as a starting material. The new CNM were tested as redox mediators (RM), 0.1 g L-1, in the biological reduction of the azo dye, Acid Orange 10 (AO10), with an anaerobic granular sludge, over 48 h of reaction. Methane production was also assessed to verify the microorganism's activity and the CNM's effect on the methanogenic activity. An improvement in the biological removal of AO10 occurred with all CNM (above 90%), when compared with the control without CNM (only 32.4 ± 0.3%). The best results were obtained with CNT_N_MB, which achieved 98.2 ± 0.1% biological AO10 removal, and an 11-fold reduction rate increase. In order to confer magnetic properties to the CNM, tailored CNT were impregnated with 2% of iron-samples: CNT@2%Fe, CNT@2%Fe_N_MB, and CNT@2%Fe_HNO3. The better performance of the CNT doped with nitrogen was confirmed with CNT@2%Fe_N_MB, and the magnetic character facilitated its recovery after treatment, and did not affect its good catalytic properties. No dye removal was observed in the abiotic assays, so the removal was not due to adsorption on the CNM. Furthermore, the microorganism's viability was maintained during the assay and methane production was not affected by the presence of the CNM. Despite the toxic character of the aromatic amines formed, detoxification was observed after the biological process with thermally treated CNT.

Abstract
Abstract
Textile industry releases large quantities of toxic dyes, which is a threat to public health and needs proper management before their release into environment. Out of the different approaches used these days, biodegradation and bio-decolorization is considered an eco-friendly and effective technique as this involves the use of microbes. This technique has the potential to be used effectively for a wide variety of dyes. In biological methods, mainly bacteria, fungi, and some algae are usually employed to remove or decolorize dyes present in textiles effluents and wastewaters. A number of researchers have used bacterial strains and relevant isolated enzymes successfully to decolorize a number of dyes. In this review article, various biological methods that have been used for the biodegradation and decolorization of textile dyes have been described. The review will also revive the significance of biological methods over other physical and chemical treatment methods that would be helpful in ensuring clean environment if used on large scale. Out of these methods, biodegradation through bacterial strains is considered as the best alternative to control water pollution as the growth rate of bacteria is considerably high as compared to other microorganisms. Thus if used the required biomass needed for biodegradation can be obtained in comparatively short interval of time.

Abstract
The effects of quinoid compounds on azo dyes decolorization were studied. Compared with other quinones, menadione was the most effective at aiding azo dye decolorization. Sodium formate was a suitable carbon source for the anaerobic decolorization system. Polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) analysis indicated that the microbial structure changed in response to varying carbon sources. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the anaerobic sludge was consisted mainly of nine genera. The mechanism studies showed that the biotransformation of menadione to its hydroquinone form was the rate-limiting step in the dye decolorization process. Moreover, study of the electron transfer mechanism of quinone-mediated reduction showed that azo dye decolorization is not a specific reaction. The NADH chain was involved in the decolorization process. The methane production test indicated that azo dyes had an inhibitory effect on methane production. However, supplementation with a redox mediator could recover the inhibited methanogenesis. High-throughput sequencing analysis revealed that the methanogenic archaeal community was altered in the anaerobic sludge with or without azo dyes and the redox mediator.

Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:polym12061353. [PMID: 32560036 PMCID: PMC7362170 DOI: 10.3390/polym12061353] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2020] [Revised: 05/27/2020] [Accepted: 05/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Polymeric microcapsules with the fungal laccase from Pycnoporus sanguineus CS43 may represent an attractive avenue for the removal or degradation of dyes from wastewaters. Microcapsules of alginate/chitosan (9.23 ± 0.12 µm) and poly(styrenesulfonate) (PSS) (9.25 ± 0.35 µm) were synthesized and subsequently tested for catalytic activity in the decolorization of the diazo dye Congo Red. Successful encapsulation into the materials was verified via confocal microscopy of labeled enzyme molecules. Laccase activity was measured as a function of time and the initial reaction rates were recovered for each preparation, showing up to sevenfold increase with respect to free laccase. The ability of substrates to diffuse through the pores of the microcapsules was evaluated with the aid of fluorescent dyes and confocal microscopy. pH and thermal stability were also measured for encapsulates, showing catalytic activity for pH values as low as 4 and temperatures of about 80 °C. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analyses demonstrated the ability of PSS capsules to avoid accumulation of byproducts and, therefore, superior catalytic performance. This was corroborated by the direct observation of substrates diffusing in and out of the materials. Compared with our PSS preparation, alginate/chitosan microcapsules studied by others degrade 2.6 times more dye, albeit with a 135-fold increase in units of enzyme per mg of dye. Similarly, poly(vinyl) alcohol microcapsules from degrade 1.7 times more dye, despite an eightfold increase in units of enzyme per mg of dye. This could be potentially beneficial from the economic viewpoint as a significantly lower amount of enzyme might be needed for the same decolorization level achieved with similar encapsulated systems.

Constructed wetland-microbial fuel cell for azo dyes degradation and energy recovery: Influence of molecular structure, kinetics, mechanisms and degradation pathways. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 720:137370. [PMID: 32325554 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.137370] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2019] [Revised: 02/04/2020] [Accepted: 02/15/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Complete degradation of azo dye has always been a challenge due to the refractory nature of azo dye. An innovative hybrid system, constructed wetland-microbial fuel cell (CW-MFC) was developed for simultaneous azo dye remediation and energy recovery. This study investigated the effect of circuit connection and the influence of azo dye molecular structures on the degradation rate of azo dye and bioelectricity generation. The closed circuit system exhibited higher chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal and decolourisation efficiencies compared to the open circuit system. The wastewater treatment performances of different operating systems were ranked in the decreasing order of CW-MFC (R1 planted-closed circuit) > MFC (R2 plant-free-closed circuit) > CW (R1 planted-open circuit) > bioreactor (R2 plant-free-open circuit). The highest decolourisation rate was achieved by Acid Red 18 (AR18), 96%, followed by Acid Orange 7 (AO7), 67% and Congo Red (CR), 60%. The voltage outputs of the three azo dyes were ranked in the decreasing order of AR18 > AO7 > CR. The results disclosed that the decolourisation performance was significantly influenced by the azo dye structure and the moieties at the proximity of azo bond; the naphthol type azo dye with a lower number of azo bond and more electron-withdrawing groups could cause azo bond to be more electrophilic and more reductive for decolourisation. Moreover, the degradation pathway of AR18, AO7 and CR were elucidated based on the respective dye intermediate products identified through UV-Vis spectrophotometry, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) analyses. The CW-MFC system demonstrated high capability of decolouring azo dyes at the anaerobic anodic region and further mineralising dye intermediates at the aerobic cathodic region to less harmful or non-toxic products.

Decoding social behaviors in a glycerol dependent bacterial consortium during Reactive Blue 28 degradation. Braz J Microbiol 2020; 51:1837-1851.

Abstract
Biodegradation of reactive azo dyes has been an arduous problem for decades. Several efficient biosystems have been proposed for dye degradation, but most of them are dependent on the availability of costly co-substrates such as peptone, yeast extract, and/or glucose. The present study describes the azo dye degradation by a bacterial consortium using glycerol as a sole co-substrate. The consortium was developed from a mixed bacterial culture obtained upon enrichment of soil sediment for Reactive Blue 28 (RB28) decolorization in the presence of glycerol (0.1%; v/v). The consortium with three bacterial species, i.e., Stenotrophomonas acidaminiphila APG1, Cellulomonas sp. APG4, and Pseudomonas stutzeri APG2, designated as "SCP," decolorized 92% of 100 ppm dye in 96 h. The intricacies of the interactions existing within the members of the consortium were resolved by a simple and unique analysis called "BSocial." Among all the members, Cellulomonas sp. APG4 exerted a net-positive impact for decolorization (%) on the consortium. The net fitness of the community increased when all the three species were present, and thus, all of them were selected for further analysis. Moreover, APG4 seemed to be central in the reductive decolorization as it possessed the highest reductase activity. The dye degradation by the consortium was demonstrated by UV-Visible spectroscopy, HPTLC, and FTIR spectroscopy of control and decolorized cell-free supernatant. The LC-ESI-MS analysis of metabolites extracted from decolorized cell-free medium led to the identification of degradation products, thus leading us to propose the plausible pathway for degradation of RB28 by bacterial consortium.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2020; 185:109403.

Abstract
An electrostimulated anaerobic-oxic integrated system was constructed for treating alizarin yellow R (AYR) containing wastewater. In electro-stimulated anaerobic unit, AYR decolorization efficiency improved from 51.2% to 96.6%. Two amination metabolites, p-phenylenediamine and 5-aminosalicylic acid, went through oxidation, ammonification and mineralization in oxic unit. Electro-stimulation promoted denitrification and COD removal efficiencies by 15.5% and 8.6%, respectively. A 20% improved nitrification efficiency was observed in oxic unit, due to elimination of AYR toxicity inhibition. No corrosion of heat-treated stainless steel occurred during the 60 days of continuous operation. Electrons sunk in denitrification and decolorization accounted for 34.4-36.8% of those released from COD removal, and 7.3% increase of removed nitrogen in nitrogenous compounds (AYR, nitrate and ammonia) was found. Electro-stimulated anaerobic unit predominated with fermentation and denitrification genera (Propionispira, Rhodocyclus, etc.) and aboundance of electro-active decolorization genus (Desulfovibrio, etc.) increased. Ammonia-oxidizing genus, Comamonas, was the most abundant in aerobic unit. Compared to the suspension, the electrostimulation could increased the abundance of electro-active genera in cathodic biofilm. This study revealed the feasibility of applying electro-stimulation and the conversion laws of nitrogenous organics in secondary bio-treatment system for treating toxic nitrogenous organics-contained wastewater.
