Abstract
The present study is an attempt to investigate the potentiality of Rhizoclonium hieroglyphicum in the removal of reactive red 239 (RR239) from aqueous solution and to assess the toxicity of the treated dye solution. Optimisation of the process variables namely dye and biosorbent concentrations, pH, temperature and incubation time for RR239 removal was performed using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) assisted Box Behnken Design (BBD) model. The recycling and regeneration efficiency of the dye adsorbed alga was evaluated using different eluents under optimized conditions. Further to understand the adsorption mechanism, isotherms, kinetics and thermodynamic studies were performed. UV–vis and FT-IR spectroscopy was employed to confirm the interaction between the adsorbate and biosorbent. The nature of the treated dye solution was assessed using phyto, microbial and brine shrimp toxicity studies. On the basis of quadratic polynomial equation and response surfaces given by RSM, 90% decolorization of RR239 was recorded at room temperature under specified optimal conditions (300 mg/L of dye, 500 mg/L of biosorbent, pH 8 and 72 h of contact time). Desorption experiments demonstrated 88% of RR239 recovery using 0.1 N acetic acid as an eluent and 81% of dye removal in regeneration studies. The data closely aligned with Freundlich isotherm (R2 − 0.98) and pseudo-second-order kinetic model (R2 − 0.9671). Thermodynamic analysis revealed that the process of adsorption was endothermic, spontaneous, and favorable. UV–Vis and FT-IR analyses provided evidence for adsorbate–biosorbent interaction, substantiating the process of decolorization. In addition, the results of phyto, microbial and brine shrimp toxicity assays consistently confirmed the non-toxic nature of the treated dye. Thus, the study demonstrated that R. hieroglyphicum can act as a potent bioremediation agent in alleviating the environmental repercussions of textile dyeing processes.
