Microbial Decolorization of Triphenylmethane Dyes

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Microbial Degradation of Synthetic Dyes in Wastewaters

Part of the book series: Environmental Science and Engineering ((ENVSCIENCE))

Abstract

Synthetic dyes belong to important class of organic compounds extensively used in textile, paper printing, color photography, leather, plastics, food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries (Ali, Water Air Soil Poll 213:251–273, 2010; Rauf and Ashraf, Chem Eng J 209:520–530, 2012). According to Global Industry Analysts, the production of worldwide synthetic dyes and pigments industries is predicted to reach almost 10 million tons by 2017 which will be worth close to $27 billion (http://www.reportlinker.com/ci02367/Synthetic-Dye-and-Pigment.html). More than 11 % of these compounds produced annually is lost to effluents during application processes. The presence of even small amounts of dyes in water (<1 ppm) is visible. It affects the aesthetic value, causes loss in luminosity, decreases oxygen solubility in water and blocks the passage of light to the lower depths of aquatic systems.
