- Patent to be filed
- Application / Uses
Marine bacterial strains Shewanella decolorationis (MBTD16) could be used for the decolarization of textile
dye Victoria blue (VB-B) and Dietzia sp(DTS26) for Congo red (CR).- Salient Technical Features including Competing Features
- Victoria blue(VB-B)
- Dye removal index showed 96% decolorization activity.
Water reuse approaches indicated the usage of the dye VB-B and the amount of water could be reduced by ~50%.
- Dye removal index showed 96% decolorization activity.
- Congo red(CR)
- Bacterially treated samples could enhance the light intensity in the water by 38% and the primary production 5
times higher than the untreated.
- Bacterially treated samples could enhance the light intensity in the water by 38% and the primary production 5
- Victoria blue(VB-B)
- Level/Scale of Development
- Developed at laboratory scale
- Environmental Considerations
- By using this technology, usage of water in industrial processes and pollution levels in the environment could be minimized.
- Status of Commercialization
- To be commercialized after scale-up studies
- Major Raw Materials to be Utilized
- Microbial culture media
- Major Plant Equipment and Machinery Required
- 1.Large scale fermenters to mass culture the bacteria 2 Effluent loaded or maximized with the above dyes
- Techno-Economics
- This approach may be economically feasible but need to be confirmed
- Technology Package
- Microbial culture along with process knowhow
