Abstract

Biosurfactants can be used in environmental clean-up by biodegradation and detoxification of industrial effluents. There are used four surfactant
pillared clays (TAZA, RAZA,FAZA and AZA) individually by batch process for dye removal and blending with 1, 5, 10, 15 and 20% bentonite for
maximum decolourisation of dyeing wastewater by column process. The sorption goes on increasing as their concentration decreases from 20.0 to 0.1 mg/l. In the batch and column processes the order of dye removal capacities for these chemical adsorbents was found to be TAZA > RAZA > FAZA > AZA, and adsorbability order of dyes was MB > MG > CV. Thus the removal by column process was about 20% less than batch process.
