Removal of COD, TOC, and Color from Textile Industry Wastewater by Using Phanerochaete chrysosporium

Abstract

Wastewater discharge from textile industries concern environmental risks. Superiority of microbial methods over high cost combined methods includes conversion of persistent organic materials to non-toxic last materials, sustainability, low cost, and comfortable. Textile wastewaters can have opposite effects on the quality of water in total organic carbon (TOC) and chemical oxygen demand (COD). In this study, Biotreatment of textile wastewater from the dyeing process using white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium (P.C) was investigated in agitated and static culture conditions to solve these problems. The treatment mediums containing distilled water in 1:10 ratio of wastewater were compared for treatment efficiency of P.C. Especially in agitated conditions at 27 o C and 150 rpm, it was achieved a successful treatment results. Under these conditions, a 48h long treatment reduced by 91,46 % of the original COD (from 1484 ppm) and by 94,92% the TOC (initial was 723.66 ppm). Moreover, treatment reduced color by 86,28 % from 3.550 A540 to 0.487 A540 at the end of the study. The decolorization properties of P.C obtained high performance and we determined P.C showed up to effective removal efficiency for COD and TOC within 48 hours. As a result, it was determined that, these fungus pellets of P.C reached the high bioremediation efficiency and can be a useful tool for bioremediation of textile dye wastewater within a short time period.

“…Therefore, sustainable environmentally friendly biological methods can be preferred in the treatment of these kinds of wastewater. [27] White rot fungus P. cyrsosporium is widely used for the biological treatment of industrial wastewater. Fungal bioremediation uses compounds from hazardous waste, even insoluble ones, as a source of nutrients and transforms them into simpler fragmented forms.…”

[27] Sharari et al ( 2009) also investigated the biological treatment of pulp waste using P. chrysosporium. As a result of the 9-day treatment, 98.7 % of the initial biochemical oxygen demand of 2780 mg/L; They stated that the chemical oxygen requirement, which is 4200 mg/L, decreased by 98.5 %.…”

Biodecolorization and biotransformation of methylene blue using mixed cultures of brown-rot fungus Daedalea dickinsii and filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryzae: identification of metabolites and degradation pathway

“…Despite being quicker and appearing to be a simpler way to handle pollution, chemical and physical treatments are typically destructive, intrusive, costly to run, energy-intensive, and produce a poisonous end product. [10][11][12] The biodegradation process (bioremediation) using microbes is a promising technique for this problem because it can decolorize dye and convert it into non-toxic chemical forms. 13 In addition, Patel et al claim that the most affordable and globally dependable technique for bioremediating liquid dyes from wastewater is microbial-based bioremediation.…”
