Kinetic and thermodynamic studies for evaluation of adsorption capacity of fungal dead biomass for direct dye

This study focuses on evaluation of degradation aptitude of white rot fungus ( Coriolus versicolor ) against Indosol Turquoise FBL dye. The outcome of numerous parameters including pH, temperature, carbon sources, nitrogen sources, C/N ratio and effect of dye concentration were studied. Maximum decolorization (99.896%) of Indosol Turquoise FBL was obtained by C. versicolor under optimized conditions. After three days, the maximum dye degradation...
