Effluents from leather and textile industries are difficult for treatment owing to its recalcitrant nature. Since the volume of effluent generated are high, a robust and active microbial consortia is required for effective treatment. The focus in the present study is the calorimetric traceability of the metabolic behaviors of mixed microbial consortia, while it grows and degrades recalcitrant substance such as an azo dye acid blue 113. The consortium exhibited a syntrophic division of substrate and was effective in degrading dye up to 0.8g/l. Notably, it was able to degrade 93.7% of the azo dye in 12-16h whereas its monocultures required 48-72h to reach 82.1%. The products of biodegradation were analyzed and the chemical pathway substantiated using chemical thermodynamic and energy release patterns. MTT assay confirmed that emanates are eco-friendly. Heat profile pattern and bioenergetics provide fundamental data for a feasible application in commercial level.

This work represents a systematic computational study of structural and optoelectronic properties of 24 phenylazo-2-naphthol derivatives using the DFT-B3LYP/6-31 + G(d,p) method. The positional isomers of azo compounds have been designed by introducing an azophenyl unit (with and without substituents) at three different (1-, 3-, and 4-) positions of 2-naphthols. This result shows that depending on the linking position of the azophenyl unit and substituents (NO and maleimide), the -azo, -azo, and hydrazo forms of our substituted azo derivatives possess distinguished UV-vis absorption and charge-transfer properties compared to unsubstituted Sudan I derivatives.

Azo dyes constitute 60-70% of commercially used dyes and are complex, carcinogenic, and mutagenic pollutants that negatively impact soil composition, water bodies, flora, and fauna. Conventional azo dye degradation techniques have drawbacks such as high production and maintenance costs, use of hazardous chemicals, membrane clogging, and sludge generation. Constructed Wetland-Microbial Fuel Cells (CW-MFCs) offer a promising sustainable approach for the bio-electrodegradation of azo dyes from textile wastewater.

pH-responsive polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers are used as well-defined building blocks to design light-switchable nano-assemblies in solution. The complex interplay between the photoresponsive di-anionic azo dye Acid Yellow 38 (AY38) and the cationic PAMAM dendrimers of different generations is presented in this study. Electrostatic self-assembly involving secondary dipole-dipole interactions provides well-defined assemblies within a broad size range (10 nm-1 μm) with various shapes.

The design of efficient advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) in the presence of bicarbonate has long attracted considerable attention in the field of environmental catalysis. In this study, sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO) as one of the most abundant substances in actual water, was introduced to a NaClO/Ru(III) system to enhance the removal of acid orange 7(AO7). NaHCO could significantly improve the removal efficiency of the Ru(III)/NaClO process in HCO at a pH range of 6.
