Summary: Sustainable waste management practices involve utilizing renewable resources for waste disposal. This study found that waste derived from pineapple can be used as a biosorbent for removing cobalt ions from water. Batch and column studies showed that modified pineapple waste exhibited good removal performance. Kinetic and equilibrium data were best described by the pseudo-second-order and Freundlich isotherm, respectively, while column data fitted well with the Yoon Nelson model. Thomas's model successfully described the behavior of the pineapple waste in removing cobalt ions from real wastewater.

Summary: The research found that biogenic sulfide achieved decolorization of azo dye by directly cleaving azo bonds, with the decolorization efficiency increased up to 3-fold by adding an external carbon source or elevating the initial azo dye concentration. Biogenic sulfide plays a vital role in azo dye decolorization, offering a new possibility for treating dye-laden wastewater.

Summary: This study examined the removal of mixed azo dyes and Cr(VI) metal in synthetic textile wastewater using haloalkaliphilic bacterial strains in a Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor. The results showed efficient decolorization of dyes and degradation of the metal, even at higher concentrations, by the eco-friendly bacterial consortium. Molecular and morphological characterization of the bacterial strains, along with analysis of metabolites, supported the findings of hazardous pollutant degradation and simultaneous dye decolorization.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of dye concentration on the performance of the membrane distillation process. The results showed that an increase in dye concentration led to a decrease in permeate flux, but the color rejection rate remained above 98%. The fouling factor was higher for disperse dye, but the membrane demonstrated good resistance to high concentration solutions, indicating the efficiency and feasibility of membrane distillation in the recovery of textile wastewater.

Summary: The textile industry generates a significant amount of water pollution through the use of dyes, which are often discharged into water bodies. However, bacteria isolated from dye-contaminated sources have shown the ability to degrade and decolourize these dye pollutants, thus improving water quality. This review also discusses the latest wastewater treatment technologies that incorporate bacterial microorganisms for treating dye wastewater.

Summary: Textile industries monopolize the use of synthetic and natural colors, which have disastrous repercussions when released into the environment. A study successfully isolated a biosurfactant-producing bacterium from textile effluent-contaminated soil and found that it has the potential to degrade dyes. This research is significant for wastewater treatment in textile industries.

Summary: This study evaluated different biosorbents from Rumex acetosella weed for the removal of metal cations in wastewater. The mixed treatment with particle size of 250 μm showed the best performance, removing up to 96.14% of lead. Thermal analysis and structural characteristics indicated that the new biosorbents had higher chelating capacity. The Langmuir and pseudo-second order models provided better fit to the adsorption data. These new biosorbents could be used economically and efficiently in wastewater treatment.

Summary: The exponential growth of industrial production has led to increased environmental pollution, particularly from chemical pollutants. Large volumes of agricultural byproducts, including wheat bran, are generated as waste materials. These waste materials have the potential to be used as adsorbents for dye and toxic effluent removal. Activated charcoal is commonly used as an adsorbent, but its high cost prompts the search for low-cost alternatives. Wheat bran has been found to have potential as an adsorbent for dye and toxic effluent removal. Adsorption and nano-materials offer promising methods for treating dye-laden water.
