Eco-friendly treatment of complex textile and dyeing wastewaters poses a pressing environmental concern. An approach adopting different treatment paths and integrated anaerobic-aerobic processes for high-strength and recalcitrant textile dyeing wastewater was examined. The study demonstrated that over 97% of suspended solids (SS) and more than 70% of chemical oxygen demand (COD) were removed by polyaluminum chloride pre-coagulation of suede fabric dyeing stream. Up to 58% of COD and 83% of SS were removed through hydrolysis pretreatment of other low-strength streams. Notable COD removal of up to 99% from a feed of 20,862 mg COD/L was achieved by integrated anaerobic-aerobic treatment of high strength stream. Besides achieving high COD removal of 97%, the anaerobic granular sludge process demonstrated multi-faceted attributes, including high feed loading, smaller footprint, little sludge production, and good stability. The integrated anaerobic-aerobic treatment offers a robust and viable option for highly contaminated and recalcitrant textile dyeing wastewater.

Kombucha is a popular fermented beverage that involves fermentation using a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY) and produces bacterial cellulose (BC). Carbon and nitrogen sources are essential in kombucha processing and BC production. However, studies on cost-effective BC production as an alternative source of leather have remained scarce.

Cationic polymers have been used in the cationization of cotton fabrics for salt-free dyeing, but commonly used polymers are limited by their high molecular weight and low adsorption efficiency, leading to high dosage or complex modification conditions. In this study, polyallylamine with low molecular weight was found to be an efficient cationic agent for cotton modification and the modified fabrics can be salt-free dyed with different kinds of reactive dyes after the optimization of the modification process. Furthermore, the modification bath was reused by replenishing a small amount of cationic agent and adjusting the pH to the original level.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess mutagenicity biomarkers among Egyptian textile dyeing workers, their alteration with gene polymorphism, and the changes in plasma proteins' expression.

Methods: Using a detailed questionnaire, a comparative cross-sectional study was conducted on 212 workers (106 textile dyeing exposed group and 106 control group). CBMN-Cyt assay, ERCC2 gene polymorphism, and plasma protein fractions were analyzed in workers' blood samples.

Elucidating the mechanism behind the significant changes in photoluminescence behavior after powder compression into a tablet.

Nonconventional luminogens have great potential for applications in fields like anti-counterfeiting encryption. But so far, the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of most of these powders is still relatively low and the persistent room temperature phosphorescence (p-RTP) emission is relatively weak. To improve their PLQY and p-RTP, pressing the powder into tablets has been preliminarily proven to be an effective method, but the specific mechanism has not been fully elucidated yet.
