Abstract:
:The combination of anaerobic and aerobic periods in the operation cycle of a Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) was chosen to study biological color removal from simulated textile effluents containing reactive, sulfonated, monoazo and diazo dyes, respectively, Remazol Brilliant Violet 5R and Remazol Black B. 90% color removal was obtained for the violet dye in a 24-h cycle with a Sludge Retention Time (SRT) of 15 days and an aerated reaction phase of 10 h. For the black dye only 75% color removal was achieved with the same operational conditions and no improvement was observed with the increase of the SRT to 20 days. For the violet dye a reduction of the color removal values from 90 to 75% was observed with the increase of the aerated reaction phase from 10 to 12 h. However, this increase did not promote the aerobic biodegradation of the produced aromatic amines. Abiotic tests were performed with sterilized SBR samples and no color removal was observed in cell-free supernatants. However color removal values of 30 and 12% were observed in the presence of sterilized cells and supernatants with violet and black dye, respectively and could be attributed to the presence of active reducing principles in the sterilized samples.
