Summary: Textile effluent is a hazardous industrial pollutant that contains toxic reactive azo dyes. Conventional treatments are ineffective, but a bacterial consortium called VITPBC6 showed potential in degrading the dye using a cocktail of enzymes. The biodegradation resulted in the formation of less toxic aromatic compounds.

Summary: Textile industries produce wastewater with harmful azo dyes that are known to be carcinogenic and mutagenic. This study evaluates the potential use of enzyme immobilized biochar for removing azo dyes from real and simulated textile effluents. The results show that the enzyme immobilized system can achieve high removal efficiency for individual azo dyes in the simulated effluent and for one dye peak in the real effluent. The presence of metabolite in the real effluent indicates the degradation of the dye. Therefore, enzyme immobilized biochar system can be used for simultaneous adsorption and degradation of toxic azo dyes from real effluents.

Summary: This study isolated and identified a bacterial strain with the potential to decolorize and degrade Reactive Black 5 (RB5). The strain, identified as Bacillus albus DD1, showed a 98% removal of RB5 within 38 hours under optimum conditions. Kinetic and thermodynamic analyses revealed that the decolorization reaction was a first order non-spontaneous reaction, and the degradation of RB5 occurred through the cleavage of the azo bond.

Summary: In this study, the applicability of using hydrogen and nitrogen as alternative carrier gases in GC-MS analysis of azo compounds was examined. The results showed that both hydrogen and nitrogen can achieve sufficient peak separation of 26 primary aromatic amines under the same conditions as helium. The sensitivity of the methods using hydrogen and helium was comparable, while the sensitivity was lower when nitrogen was used. However, all carrier gases were able to quantify azo compounds below the standard value of harmful substances, indicating that hydrogen or nitrogen can be used as alternative carrier gases for GC-MS analysis of azo compounds.

Summary: The study investigated the radiation-based treatment of amoxicillin trihydrate in aqueous solutions using high energy electron beams and gamma rays, showing that the presence of H2O2 significantly affects the mineralization efficiency of AMT. Both radiation-based treatments followed pseudo-first order kinetics for AMT degradation, with HO· being the most active reactive species. The treated AMT solutions showed no toxicity against microorganisms, and electron beam irradiation was found to be more suitable for industrial wastewater treatment compared to gamma irradiation.

Summary: A bismuth oxyiodide photocatalyst with coexistent iodine deficient phases was prepared and used for the degradation of perfluorooctanoic acid at low concentrations under simulated solar light irradiation. High rates of PFOA degradation and defluorination were achieved through parallel redox reactions with photoexcited electrons and superoxide radicals. The catalyst transformed into a more iodine deficient phase during photocatalysis.

Summary: This paper investigates the degradation of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) using a photocatalyst (bismuth oxyiodide, BiOI) and a fungal biocatalyst (Cunninghamella elegans). Both the photocatalyst and biocatalyst can degrade 35-40% of 100 ppm PFOA individually, with 20-30% defluorination. However, a combination of the two treatments results in a higher degradation rate of 90% and defluorination rate of 60%. The study also identifies the products formed during the degradation process and reveals the mechanism of PFOA biodegradation.
