Remediation of Dyes from Aquatic Ecosystems by Biosorption Method Using Algae

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Algae and Environmental Sustainability

Part of the book series: Developments in Applied Phycology ((DAPH,volume 7))

Abstract

Industrialisation and urbanisation are the root cause of increasing pollution. Water is of utmost necessity for the survival of all living beings and is subjected to pollution by industrial effluents, domestic sewage and agricultural runoffs. New environment friendly techniques to curb water pollution due to the increasing usage of toxic chemicals are needed. Extensive use of dyes today cause contamination of water bodies, loss of aquatic biota, poisoning of agricultural fields and spread of mutagens and carcinogens in organisms. Dyes of synthetic origin need to be particularly eliminated from aquatic ecosystems to reduce their toxic effects. Traditional methods of effluent treatment have failed to provide effective results because of high cost, nonselectiveness of adsorbents, toxic sludge produced by the adsorption process and other factors. In the case of nonconventional dye removal processes, researches are being done to introduce cost-effective and efficient technologies. Biosorption by macroalgae and microalgae is a promising method for treatment of wastewater. Phycoremediation of toxic compounds, heavy metals (e.g. chromium, lead and nickel) and colour from the aquatic ecosystem is a natural, eco-friendly and cost-effective technique. Easy availability and growth of algae, efficient uptake of dyes and other contaminants, some value-added merits like carbon sequestration and formation of less toxic sludge are the major advantages of using algae for biosorption.
