Biological Removal of Azo and Triphenylmethane Dyes and Toxicity of Process By-Products.

ABSTRACT: Increasing environmental pollution is connected with broad applications of dyes and imperfection of dyeing technology. Decolourization of triphenylmethane brilliant green and disazo Evans blue by bacterial and fungal strains and toxicity (phyto- and zootoxicity) of degradation by-products were investigated. Influence of incubation method on dyes removal was evaluated (static, semi-static, shaken). Dead biomass was used for sorption estimation. Toxicity of treated dyes was measured to estimate possible influence on aquatic ecosystems. The zootoxicity test was done with Daphnia magna and phytotoxicity with Lemna minor. Samples were classified according to ACE 89/BE 2/D3 Final Report Commission EC. The best results of removal for all tested strains were reached in shaken samples. In opposite to fungi, bacterial strains decolourized brilliant green more effectively than Evans blue. The most effective bacterial strain was Erwinia spp. (s12) and fungal strains were Polyporus picipes (RWP17) and Pleurotus ostreatus (BWPH and MB). Decolourization of brilliant green was connected with decrease of zootoxicity (D. magna) and phytotoxicity (L. minor). Removal of Evans blue was connected with no changes in zootoxicity and decrease of phytotoxicity in most of samples.

Project description:The current study is aimed at synthesizing and characterizing magnetic cobalt-iron oxide nanoparticles (CoFeNPs) functionalized with two different amino reagents, hydrazine and dodecylamine, resulting in CoFeNPs1 and CoFeNPs2, respectively. Both types of cobalt-ferrite nanoparticles were investigated for the removal of six different negatively charged azoic dyes (Amaranth, Acid Orange 7, Naphthol Blue Black, Reactive Orange 16, Acid Orange 52 and Reactive Red-P2B) from water, and their removal efficiency was compared as a function of different factors such as time, type of anchored amine, size of CoFeNPs and structure of the dye. CoFeNPs were successfully characterized by FT-IR spectra, AFM, SEM-EDS, surface charge (ζ-potential) and thermal analysis. CoFeNPs1 revealed 44.5-82.1% dye removal at equilibrium (attained within 28-115 min) with an adsorptive capacity (q e) of 5.4-13.5 mg g-1 observed under unoptimized conditions (temp. 30 °C, adsorbent dose 0.67 g L-1, pH 6, dye concentration 20 μmol L-1). Use of CoFeNPs2 significantly enhanced the removal of each dye (percent dye removal 68.0-98.9%, q e 6.6-23.5 mg g-1) compared to CoFeNPs1 under similar conditions. From a comparative structural study, a larger size, more complex structure, hydrophobic character and greater number of phenyl SO3 - groups among the tested dyes facilitated their removal by CoFeNPs2, while all of these structural factors were negatively related to dye removal by CoFeNPs1. CoFeNPs2 showed some dye aggregation along with adsorption, while in the case of CoFeNPs1, only adsorption was observed as confirmed by FT-IR and UV-visible spectral studies. Dye removal data in all cases was in best compliance with pseudo-second order kinetics in comparison to pseudo-first order or the Elovich model, where film diffusion was a dominant phenomenon compared to intra-particle diffusion. Adsorption isotherms, thermodynamics and reusability of the CoFeNPs were studied selecting Reactive Orange 16. Adsorption equilibrium was best fitted to the Langmuir isotherm. ΔG° and ΔH° indicated spontaneous and exothermic adsorption. Amine-functionalized CoFeNPs are recommended as potential cost-effective adsorbents with excellent reusability that could be applied efficiently for rapid and selective dye removal from textile effluents considering the size, structure, charge and number of S atoms in the target azo dyes.

Project description:Reduction of Methyl Red (MR) and Orange II (Or II) by 26 human skin bacterial species was monitored by a rapid spectrophotometric assay. The analysis indicated that skin bacteria, representing the genera Staphylococcus, Corynebacterium, Micrococcus, Dermacoccus and Kocuria, were able to reduce MR by 74-100 % in 24 h, with only three species unable to reduce completely the dye in that time. Among the species tested, only Corynebacterium xerosis was unable to reduce Or II to any degree by 24 h, and only Staphylococcus delphini, Staphylococcus sciuri subsp. sciuri and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were able to reduce completely this dye within 24 h. MR reduction started with early-exponential growth in Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis, and around late-exponential/early-stationary growth in P. aeruginosa. Reduction of Or II, Ponceau S and Ponceau BS started during late-exponential/early-stationary growth for all three species. Using liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry analyses, MR metabolites produced by Staph. aureus, Staph. epidermidis and P. aeruginosa were identified as N,N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine and 2-aminobenzoic acid. Searches of available genomic and proteomic data revealed that at least four of the staphylococci in this study, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Staph. epidermidis, Staphylococcus cohnii and Staphylococcus saprophyticus, have hypothetical genes with 77, 76, 75 and 74 % sequence identity to azo1 encoding an azoreductase from Staph. aureus and hypothetical proteins with 82, 80, 72 and 74 % identity to Azo1, respectively. In addition, Staphylococcus capitis has a protein with 79 % identity to Azo1. Western analysis detected proteins similar to Azo1 in all the staphylococci tested, except Staph. delphini, Staph. sciuri subsp. sciuri and Staphylococcus auricularis. The data presented in this report will be useful in the risk assessment process for evaluation of public exposure to products containing these dyes.
