Physico-chemical analysis of textile dye effluent using microbial consortia mediated degradation process

ABSTRACT Physico-chemical analysis of textile dye effluent have shown higher concentrations of total solids, total suspended solids, total dissolved solids, biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, dissolved oxygen, total hardness, carbonate, bicarbonate alkalinities, chloride, calcium, magnesium, sodium, sulphate, zinc, chromium, copper and lead was found to be above permissible levels of WHO standards which ensure the presence of pollutant overloaded in the textile effluent. Bacterial consortia was developed with Bacillus subtilis (NCBT 012), Clostridium butyricum (NCBT 017), Enterobacter aerogenes (NCBT 024) and Pseudomonas fluorescens (NCBT 046) and Fungal consortia was developed with Aspergillus erythrocephalus (NCBT 124), Aspergillus fumigatus (NCBT 126), Cladosporium herbarum (NCBT 142) and Fusarium oxysporium (NCBT 156). Between bacterial consortium and fungal consortium mediated process of textile effluent, the fungal consortium have shown more efficient and much reduction in all the physico-chemical parameters than the bacterial consortium mediated degradation. The textile effluent was the major source of pollution which will affect the natural environment. Thus, there is need for treatment of effluent before they are discharged into the environment.
