Impact of textile dye WW

  • Synthetic dyes are a serious threat to the environment.
  • They are toxic & carcinogenic
  • Azo dyes are persistent

Available treatment techniques for the textile industry WW

  • Physicochemical and Standard biological methods proposed.
  • Most MOs can grow at neutral pH and low salinity.
  • Activated Sludge (AS) is common. 

WW characteristics

  • It is alkaline and saline,
  • caustic and other detergents of an alkali nature are used in large quantities.
  • It is a challenge for the standard biological treatment process.
  • Most MOs grow around neutral pH.

Alkaliphiles

  • Adapted to grow under alkaline conditions.
  • Have several adaptive response mechanisms in complex chemical mixtures.
  • Diverse group of MOs
  • Huge potential in the Ethiopian rift valley soda lakes
