Applicability of diamond electrode/anode to the electrochemical treatment of a real textile effluent

TL;DR: In this article, a real effluent discharged by Brazilian textile industry, has been electrochemically treated using boron doped diamond (BDD) anode for removing chemical oxygen demand (COD) and colour.
Journal ArticleDOI

Decolourization of azo dyes using magnesium-palladium system.

TL;DR: Results obtained from reuse experiments suggest that Pd(0) pellets have the potential for recycling which will make the treatment process cost effective and Mg(0)/Pd(4+) system was found to be efficient in decolourizing mixture of drimarene, remazol and procion dyes as well as raw effluent generated by textile dye manufacturing company.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of electrochemical oxidation techniques for degradation of dye effluents - a comparative approach.

TL;DR: Compared to a traditional one-cell reactor, this reactor reduces the energy cost approximately by 25-40%, and thus the present work becomes significant in wastewater treatment.

Toxicological significance of azo dye metabolism by human intestinal microbiota.

TL;DR: This review highlights how azo dyes are metabolized by intestinal bacteria, mechanisms of azo reduction, and the potential contribution in the carcinogenesis/mutagenesis of the reduction of the azos dyes by intestinal microbiota.

Influence of Camellia sinensis extract on Zinc Oxide nanoparticle green synthesis

TL;DR: In this article, a low cost, non-toxic green synthesis of Zinc Oxide nanoparticles prepared using different amounts of Camellia sinensis extract was studied and characterized through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), x-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), which presented the desired Zn O bond at 618 cm −1, demonstrated growth in a purely hexagonal Wurtzite crystal structure, and, depending on the amount of extract used, they presented different size and shape homogeneity.

Physical removal of textile dyes from effluents and solid-state fermentation of dye-adsorbed agricultural residues (vol 72, pg 219, 2000)

TL;DR: In this paper, three agricultural residues, wheat straw, wood chips and corn-cob shreds, were tested for their ability to adsorb individual dyes and dye mixtures in solutions.
