In the world of fast fashion, textile industries are blooming rapidly to meet the consumer's demands. However, vast amounts of wastewater have been constantly produced, and it is becoming a serious environmental problem in the waterways. Although the technology for treating textile wastewater has been well reported and established, more sustainable efforts have taken the attention nowadays. Through the use of living Malaysian Ganoderma lucidum mycelial pellets (GL) and activated dolomite (AD) in the treatment system, the study explores the synergy between biosorption and physisorption as alternative treatment for textile wastewater. In the current work, mixture of GL premixed with AD (50:50; v/v) is used to treat industrial textile wastewater. The morphology, adsorption characteristics, and antibacterial activity of the adsorbents were studied. The mixture of adsorbents is capable of removing colours by 77.8% and reducing chemical oxygen demand (COD) by 75% within 48 h contact. Furthermore, the kinetic and adsorption had been studied and follow the pseudo-first-order kinetic model while both adsorption of Langmuir and Freundlich model was deduced from the treatment. In addition, antimicrobial activities from the treatment potentially reduced 10 × 10 CFU/mL after 48 h. The synergistic treatment by Ganoderma lucidum mycelial pellets and activated dolomite has immense potential in future wastewater treatment technology to obtain cleaner water.

The contamination of water resources by selenium (Se), particularly in the highly toxic Se(IV) oxidation state, poses a significant environmental and public health concern due to its detrimental impacts on humans and aquatic ecosystems. In this work, we report a novel composite foam (CFC) by incorporating chitosan (CS), cellulose nanofibers (CNF) and iron oxyhydroxide (FeOOH) nanoparticles through a one-pot fabrication process. The CFC foam features a three-dimensional porous structure, conferring both exceptional mechanical strength and superior adsorption performance for Se(IV), with a maximum equilibrium adsorption capacity of 90 mg/g achieved within 3 h.

Sustainable management of textile industrial wastewater is one of the severe challenges in the current regime. It has been reported that each year huge amount of textile industry discharge especially the dye released into the environment without pre-treatment that adversely affect the human health and plant productivity. In the present study, different bacterial isolates had been isolated from the industrial effluents and investigated for their bioremediation potential against the malachite green (MG) dye, a major pollutant of textile industries.

Background: Trivalent chromium (Cr(III)) and its highly soluble carboxyl complexes, often discharged into the environment by industries such as electroplating, leather tanning, and textile manufacturing, present severe risks to human health and ecosystems due to their high toxicity. These compounds are notoriously difficult to detect and remove during wastewater treatment, as they can persist in aqueous environments. Consequently, there is a pressing need for the development of simple, cost-effective, and reliable methods for their detection, which can improve monitoring, facilitate timely interventions, and enhance environmental protection efforts.

In order to increase the added value of Xanthoceras Sorbifolia Bunge (XSB) and to obtain green biomass activated carbon with abundant pores for efficient MG removal, this study was the first to prepare XSB-based high-performance activated carbon using KOH activation. Activated at temperatures between 600 and 800 °C, XSBAC-800 exhibited the highest specific surface area (1580 m/g) and pore volume (0.732 cm/g), leading to superior MG adsorption.

Environmental and human health is severely threatened by wastewater and air pollution, which contain a broad spectrum of organic and inorganic pollutants. Organic contaminants include dyes, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), medical waste, antibiotics, pesticides, and chemical warfare agents. Inorganic gases such as CO, SO, and NO are commonly found in polluted water and air.
