Abstract

 

A carbon sorbent derived from an agriculture waste, mustard straw was applied to study the removal of irgalite dye from aqueous solution. Comparative study on adsorption and simultaneous adsorption and biodegradation (+) of irgalite dye using Pseuodomonas putida(MTCC 1194) with activated carbon prepared from mustard straw showed removal of 83.3% higher SAB, with respect to adsorption (70%). For biodegradation of irgalite by P. putida at shake flask level Haldane's growth model fitted the best.

 

Key words:  activated carbon, Pseudomonas putida, adsorption
