Removal of Diazo dye from aqueous phase by algaeSpirogyraspecies

S. Venkata Mohan, J. Karthikeyan

Open publisher page 17 citations

Abstract

This communication presents a preliminary study conducted to investigate dye (Direct Brown 2‐Diazo) colour removal using viable algae Spirogyra species. The results indicate the ability of algae Spirogyra species to remove dye colour and found to be dependent on the contact time and biomass. Colour removal mechanism by algae Spirogyra species may be attributed to biosorption and/or bioconversion and/or biocoagulation.
