“…This complex aromatic structure of commonly used dyes allows them to resist biodegradation and photo-degradation (Ali et al, 2020;Aljebori and Alshirifi, 2012). About 7 × 10 5 tons of dyestuffs are used in the textile industry annually (Bingul and Adar, 2021), and approximately 100 tons are discharged into the aquatic environment (Boudechiche et al, 2019). Chemical oxygen demand, color, total organic carbon, and biological oxygen demand concentrations are all high in wastewater-containing dyes, such as Maxilon dyes (Bingul and Adar, 2021;Çiner, 2018).…”
