functional group was not present after the treatment. These –OH functional groups
may interacts with other aromatic benzene groups and forms phenolic compounds
which resulting in greater toxicity and long lasting. These phenolic substances can
also be a carcinogen particularly affecting RBC’s and liver damage even at low
concentrations was reported by (Anku et al. 2017). This type of toxic group was
removed by the treatment of 0.1 ml of biosurfactant.
10.4 FTIR Results of Biomass Treated Waste Water Sample
The treatment with respect to biomass showed the removal of two toxic groups
are Aknenes, Alcohol and Ethers respectively. Alkenes may attaches with catalytic
compounds like palladium, nickel, platinum, etc., resulting in water toxicity by
catalytic dehydrogenation process. Due to the presence of this compound can alters
the taste and odour of the natural water. Triple boned alkenes can also easily attach
with alkyenes (C=C) which is known as water contaminant and also becomes tough
to breakdown. In addition to this alkenes may easily interacts with freely available
halogen compounds and proceed water contamination. This type of unstable, strong
triple bond compound was eliminated by biomass (0.1 ml) as treatment strategy.
Simultaneously another class of toxic compound was removed is ethers. Usually
ethers are found in two forms especially in water contamination are polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDES) and methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE). Typically
the effluent of household, electronic and textile industries contain PBDES which
is known as a toxic compound particularly to the aquatic life system. MTBE is
widely derived as byproduct from oil refining industries. In this group, the volatile
compound methanol reacts with water vapors and again settles in water which affects
the quality of water. Existing scientific research indicates this cyclic process and
termed as a pollutant or toxic group. Successfully this compound was removed by
biomass treatment.
10.5 Biosurfactant as Stain Decolorizer Against Synthetic
Azo Dye (Red)
To the clean white cloth pieces the azo dye stained + biosurfactant added possess
positive results. When visibly observed the biosurfactant stained cloth piece showed
almost 50% stain removal ability. It was concluded by comparing with control
which was contained only the azo dye. Hence, another application of the produced
biosurfactant was revealed by this study.
