Anaerobic decolorisation of reactive dyes in conventional sewage treatment processes: short communication
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of anaerobic digestion for the decolorisation of selected reactive dyes was investigated and 80 % of the dyes studied were decolorised and, based on the results from a detailed study into C.I. Reactive Red 141 decolorization, it was proposed that this occurred via a reduction mechanism.
