| Summary: | Biosorption is becoming a promising alternative to replace or supplement the present dye removal
processes which are used for removing dyes from wastewater. In this study, the removal of four
dyes; Congo red, Malachite green, Neutral red and Reactive Blue 19, by biosorption using biomass
of fungus and bacteria, Panus tigrinus, klebsiella pneumoniae were investigated. Bacterial
biosurfactant, obtained from klebsiella pneumonia, was also tested for dye removal. Fungal
biomass proved to be the best remover amongst the three bioactive biosurfactant and biomass,
which removed 96.948% of Congo red followed by 89.231% removal of Reactive blue 19. |
