Abstract
- Wide range of dyes and dyestuffs used in textile manufacturing are xenobiotic compounds and attract stricter to strict environmental regulations. The ability of microbial consortia to decolorize and metabolize dyes has long been known, and the use of bioremediation based technologies for treating textile wastewater has attracted interest. These dyes are decolorized by microbial consortia but technologies for their complete mineralization are still not developed. The most logical concept for the removal of azo dyes in biological wastewater treatment systems is based on anaerobic treatment, for the reductive decolorization, in combination with aerobic treatment, for the degradation of the by-products (aromatic amines) generated in the anaerobic bioreactor. Several research and review articles were published on anaerobic decolorization; however, research on complete mineralization of dyes through sequential anaerobic-aerobic bioreactors has received greater attention recently. Bioremediation through sequential anaerobic-aerobic bioreactor system has been reviewed in this article with critical appraisal using data generated through our experiments. While reviewing this work, we realized the importance of microbial diversity in a treatment unit to better understand the functional status to enhance the mineralization activity of the bioreactor. Key words: azo dyes, biodiversity, bioremediation, two-stage, sequential bioreactor. Un ensemble de teintures et substances tinctoriales utilisees dans la fabrication des textiles constituent des composesxeenobiotiques et appellent des reglementations environnementales severes a tresseveres. On connait depuis longtemps la capacite; des populations microbiennes a decolorer et meetaboliser les teintures, et l'utilisation de technologies basees sur la bioremediation pour traiter les eaux usees des industries textiles souleve beaucoup d'interet. Les populations microbiennes arrivent a decolorer ces teintures, mais les technologies pour les mineeraliser completement ne sont pas encore developpees. Le concept le plus logique pour debarrasser les colorants de type azo des systemes de traitement des eaux usees implique un traitement anaeirobie, pour assurer la decoloration reductive, en combinaison avec un traitement aerobie pour degrader les sous-produits (amines aromatiques) genres pendant la phase anaeirobie. Il existe plusieurs articles et revues sur la decoloration anaeerobie; cependant, ce n'est que recemment que la recherche sur la mineralisation complete des teintures avec des reacteurs sequentiels anaerobie-aeerobie a recju une attention soutenue. Les auteurs passent ici en revue la bioremediation en systemes de bioreacteurs anaeerobie-aeerobie, avec une evaluation critique des domtoes generees dans ces experiences. Tout en realisant cette revue, les auteurs ont constate l'importance de la biodiversite microbienne dans une unite; de traitement, pour mieux comprendre le statut fonctionnel permettant d'acceileerer l'activite; de mineralisation du bioreeacteur. Mots-cles: teintures de type azo, biodiversite, bioremediation, deux etapes, bioreacteur sequentiel.
