Advancements in Anaerobic Degradation Technology: A Sustainable Solution for Textile Azo Dye Wastewater Effluents Treatment
摘要
The textile industry is a significant contributor to global commerce, yet its operations generate large volumes of wastewater laden with hazardous chemicals, particularly azo dyes. Conventional treatment methods have struggled to adequately address this pollution, leading to widespread environmental damage. In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the need for sustainable solutions, with microbial degradation emerging as a promising approach for azo dye remediation. This book chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in anaerobic degradation technology for treating textile wastewater. It explores the mechanisms, benefits, and challenges of anaerobic degradation, highlighting its cost-effectiveness, high efficiency, and potential for biogas production. Case studies showcasing successful implementations of anaerobic degradation in industrial settings are examined, along with strategies for overcoming challenges and optimizing treatment processes. Through interdisciplinary collaboration and continued innovation, anaerobic degradation technology offers a promising pathway toward a more sustainable and environmentally friendly textile industry.
