Bioremediation of Dye Effluent Using Dodonae Viscosa Seed Powder

cost effective. It helps in reducing the crisis in pollution. The method of operation is
simple and requires little or no maintenance.
4 Conclusion
Industrialization is considered to be the key for the development in economic terms.
At the same time, it is also recognized to be the root cause for environmental pollution.
Due to different types of industries, environmental pollution is one of the vital problems presently facing in India and the World. The environmental pollution caused by
the textile wastewater poses a worldwide threat to public health and it gives rise to new
initiatives for environmental restoration for both economic and ecological reasons.
The feasibility for the treatment of the dye effluent using the natural seed powder
and chemically based hypochlorite solution were tested. It was found that the natural
seed powder act as an excellent alternative to the chemical treatment. Because of its
relative abundance in nature and as it functions effectively this method of treatment is
economical and does not cause any damage to the environment. Utilization of these
plant based substances represents important progress in sustainable environmental
technology as they are renewable resources and their application is directly related to
the improvement of the quality of life for underdeveloped communities. In the present
study it can be clearly found that the colour removal in the dye effluent using the
Dodonae viscosa seed powder was highly effective and shows a percentage removal
of more than 86.87%. This decolorisation by itself shows a tremendous reduction in
pollution, which is followed by the reduction in pH and turbidity. Hence our current
study proves to be a promising hope for future research and also to implement the
technique used on a commercial basis.
