Abstract
Decolourization potential of white rot fungal organism, <i>coriolus versicolor</i>, was investigated in a batch reactor, for textile dye industry wastewater. The influence of process parameters like pH, temperature, agitation speed and dye wastewater concentration on the decolourization of textile dye wastewater was examined by using Response surface methodology (RSM). The maximum decolourization was attained at: pH- 6.8, temperature — 27.9
Key Words
