Integrated chemical and biological processes for the degradation of synthetic dyes

초록

Compared to the vast number of studies performed using individual chemical and biological technologies for the remediation of textile dyes, there is lesser research available on the combined application of these technologies, either sequentially or concurrently. The use of integrated technologies can help in alleviating the limitations of the individual processes and achieving higher efficiencies based on the treatment goal. This book chapter thus focuses on varied aspects that should be taken into consideration while applying integrated technologies, such as choosing the right chemical or biological treatment and their sequence, understanding the mechanistic basis underlying the use of integrated technologies for the degradation of the respective dyes and optimizing costs while achieving the desired efficiency. It also throws light on some of the challenges generally encountered while integrating two different processes and lays out the scope for future research. © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
