BIOREMEDIATION OF METALS FROM TEXTILE WASTE WATER USING BACTERIA PSEUDOMONAS AND ASPERGILLUS FILAMENTOUS FUNGI
Abstract
Metal-complex dyes form complex compounds with metal ions. In practice, these dyes shows very good level dyeing, have better penetration properties, can cover up for the irregularities in the substrates, are more resistant to washing processes, and are more stable to light. In molecules of metal complex dyes, pigments and inks, metals are bound that pose a serious risk to the environment in wastewater from textile and leather production. Despite the fact that today most EU countries have strict limits on the content of these dyes in discharged sewage, toxic waste metals above the permitted limits are still present in waste water from the production and processing of textiles. The article deals with the possibility of using microorganisms ? bacteria and microscopic fibrous fungi for removal of metal residues from textile production waste water. With the use of Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), the higher efficiency of Pseudomonas heterotrophic bacteria was confirmed compared with Aspergillus fungi strains for the remediation of selected metals from textile waste water.
