Abstract
Wastewater from textile and dye industries is hazardous due to the presence of various dyes and chemicals. To address this, strict discharge regulations have been imposed by regulatory bodies. In this study, synthetic mixed dye wastewater (MDW) containing four dyes—two acid azo dyes (Acid Red 3BN, Metanil Yellow), one basic azo dye (Malachite Green), and one heterocyclic thiazine dye (Methylene Blue)—was treated using laboratory-scale aerobic sequential batch reactors (ASBR) at a total dye concentration of 500 mg/L (125 mg/L each). The effects of hydraulic retention time (HRT) and fill time (tF) on color removal, pH, COD reduction, and dissolved oxygen were investigated. Treated batch effluent was further processed in a continuous ASBR. An optimal HRT of 2.5 days resulted in 90–95 % reduction in COD and color within 22 h. Kinetic studies revealed a specific growth rate (μ) of 0.03 h−1 and a yield coefficient (Y) of 0.908 at this HRT. Based on comparative results, it is recommended that MDW be pre-treated in batch mode before initiating continuous treatment, as this effectively lowers dye concentration and color, enhancing overall treatment efficiency.
