“…due to high level of toxic organic compounds (Dyes) (Nigam et al, 2000) and high BOD and COD (Kaur et al, 2010). Similar to our results, Egbeeni et al (2009) reported that fruit production in okra was significantly reduced on application of higher concentrations of industrial effluent.…”

“…Estimated amount of 1,441,167 m 3 wastewater /day is generated from textile processing units (GOP, 2008). Untreated discharge of this wastewater has not only affected the good quality of drinking water (Kaur et al, 2010) but has also caused much damage to environment (soil and water) by adding pollutants (WHO, 2002;Wins and Murgan, 2010;Kaur et al, 2010).…”

Textile wastewater can be a good source of nutrients in addition to meet the crop water requirements in areas facing water shortage problem. The use of untreated industrial wastewater can be hazardous for end users and soil environment due to high concentration of pollutants. The toxic effects of wastewater could be reduced by dilution of these pollutants. A pot trial was conducted to evaluate the suitability of untreated textile wastewater at different dilution levels (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100%)

“…The sugar industry, apart from being an important contributor to the economy of numerous countries including India, is also a major source of organic and inorganic wastes in water bodies. India is the second largest producer of sugarcane after Brazil in the world with 550 sugar mills and 220 million tons cane per year and total sugar production 13.5 million tons per year (Kaur et al, 2010). A considerable amount of water is used in sugar industry and subsequently a large amount of effluent of medium pollution range is discharged.…”

“…Wastewater flowing out from textile industries not only adversely affects plant growth (Yousaf et al, 2010) but also disturbs the aquatic ecosystem and other beneficial microorganisms (Kaur et al, 2010). The effluent discharged by their textile units contains a large number of dyes which are discharged into environment without treatment.…”

To cite this paper: Waqas, R., M. Arshad, H.N. Asghar and M. Asghar, 2015 AbstractSynthetic dyes are widely used in textile, leather and other dye-stuff industries. A large fraction of the dyes applied during the dyeing processes are released into wastewater. Therefore, the wastewater from dye-related industries is densely colored, with high chemical oxidation and biological oxidation demand. This wastewater must be treated prior to discharge into wastewater streams to prevent pollution of surface and groundwater, and minimizing risks to public health. The present study was undertaken for the first time in Pakistan to optimize the factors for algae possessing high potential to degrade Reactive Blue azo dye in liquid medium. Among eighty eight (88) isolates of alga, two showed high decolorization, which were used to optimize the decolorization of Reactive Blue azo dye. Both the selected algal strains showed an excellent potential to decolorize 100 mg L -1 Reactive Blue in seven days in the liquid broth.The optimum conditions determined for the two selected algal strains for decolorization of Reactive Blue (100 mg L -1 ) were pH 7.0, temperature 30°C, light conditions of 16 h, when inoculum size of 1 mL/10 mL was maintained and dye solution was supplemented with 5 g L -1 N and 5 g L -1 P as cosubstrates.
