This volume reviews biological mechanisms and processes for dye degradation and removal in the expanding textile industry, which poses environmental risks due to wastewater. It discusses biodegradation, bioaccumulation, and biosorption, covering aerobic and anaerobic mechanisms and various reactor types like MBBR and membrane bioreactors.
Volume 2 explores the application of biotechnology in dye removal, covering activated sludge processes and limitations, microbial and enzymatic treatment methods, and the significance of microbial biofilms in detoxifying dye waste. It highlights advances in synthetic dye biotransformation, phycoremediation technologies, and the role of fungi in dye removal.
