Chlorination treatment of aqueous samples reduces, but does not eliminate, the mutagenic effect of the azo dyes Disperse Red 1, Disperse Red 13 and Disperse Orange 1

The treatment of textile effluents by the conventional method based on activated sludge followed by a chlorination step is not usually an effective method to remove azo dyes, and can generate products more mutagenic than the untreated dyes. The present work evaluated the efficiency of conventional chlorination to remove the genotoxicity/mutagenicity of the azo dyes Disperse Red 1, Disperse Orange 1, and Disperse Red 13 from aqueous solutions. The comet and micronucleus assays with HepG2 cells and the Salmonella mutagenicity assay were used. The degradation of the dye molecules after the same treatment was also evaluated, using ultraviolet and visible absorption spectrum measurements (UV-vis), high performance liquid chromatography coupled to a diode-array detector (HPLC-DAD), and total organic carbon removal (TOC) analysis. The comet assay showed that the three dyes studied induced damage in the DNA of the HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner. After chlorination, these dyes remained genotoxic, although with a lower damage index (DI). The micronucleus test showed that the mutagenic activity of the dyes investigated was completely removed by chlorination, under the conditions tested. The Salmonella assay showed that chlorination reduced the mutagenicity of all three dyes in strain YG1041, but increased the mutagenicity of Disperse Red 1 and Disperse Orange 1 in strain TA98. With respect to chemical analysis, all the solutions showed rapid discoloration and a reduction in the absorbance bands characteristic of the chromophore group of each dye. However, the TOC was not completely removed, showing that chlorination of these dyes is not efficient in mineralizing them. It was concluded that conventional chlorination should be used with caution for the treatment of aqueous samples contaminated with azo dyes. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Price, profitability and employment in the handloom industry in kerala

The present study is on the nature, problems and prospects of the handloom industry in Kerala. The problems of the industry are mostly in the nature of low earnings of the workers, underutilisation of the existing capacity and low profit in its various sectors. The majority of the handloom co-operative societies are either dormant or facing liquidation. The income and employment of weavers are so pitiably low that they are living in utter poverty and starvation. Frequent price fluctuations of yarns, dyes and chemicals increase the cost of production and reduce the profitability. Consequently handloom fabrics are not able to compete with mill cloths and powerloom products. Accumulating the unsold stocks in the godowns of co-operative societies and with master weavers has become the practice of the day. Spinning mills in Kerala are producing only lower counts of yarns. S, handloom industry has to depend on textile mills in Tamil Nadu for higher counts of yarn. They create artificial scarcity and increase the prices exflorbitantly. Wage rates prevailing in Kerala are higher than those in Tamil Hadu. So rich master weavers are migrating to Tamil.Nadu and exporting the fabrics. under the label 'Kera1a Handlooms'. Governmental efforts to tackle the crisis by way of rebates and subsidies are found to be futile.

HEPATOTOXICITY ASSESSMENT OF THE AZO DYES DISPERSE ORANGE 1 (DO1), DISPERSE RED 1 (DR1,) AND DISPERSE RED 13 (DR13) IN HEPG2 CELLS

During the dyeing process in baths approximately 10 to 15% of the dyes used are lost and reach industrial effluents, thus polluting the environment. Studies showed that some classes of dyes, mainly azo dyes and their by-products, exert adverse effects on humans and local biota, since the wastewater treatment systems and water treatment plants were found to be ineffective in removing the color and reducing toxicity of some dyes. In the present study, the toxicity of the azo dyes disperse orange 1 (DO1), disperse red 1 (DR1), and disperse red 13 (DR13) was evaluated in HepG2 cells grown in monolayers or in three dimensional (3D) culture. Hepatotoxicity of the dyes was measured using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl)2,5-diphenyltetrazolium (MTT) and cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) assays after 24, 48, and 72 h of incubation of cells with 3 different concentrations of the azo dyes. The dye DO1 only reduced the mitochondrial activity in HepG2 cells grown in a monolayer after 72 h incubation, while the dye DR1 showed this deleterious effect in both monolayer and 3D culture. In contrast, dye DR13 decreased the mitochondrial activity after 24, 48, and 72 h of exposure in both monolayer and 3D culture. With respect to dehydrogenase activity, only the dye DR13 diminished the activity of this enzyme after 72 h of exposure in both monolayer and 3D culture. Our results clearly demonstrated that exposure to the studied dyes induced cytotoxicity in HepG2 cells.

Reutilização das águas de tingimento utilizando a Nanofiltração

Este trabalho na área dos processos físicos de separação por membranas, nomeadamente, a nanofiltração (NF), tem como objectivo principal a recuperação dos efluentes resultantes das águas da 3ª lavagem utilizadas na operação de tingimento de fibras de algodão, com corantes reactivos. Estão inerentes as problemáticas: da escassez da água como matéria-prima na vertente de água potável; da diminuição de efluentes que necessitam de tratamentos devido à sua carga poluente; da recuperação sempre que seja viável dos produtos químicos adicionados nesta fase de tratamento das fibras de algodão e por último e não menos importante, da energia contida nestes efluentes que vão para o esgoto a temperaturas na ordem dos 50 ºC. A metodologia adoptada na realização deste trabalho consistiu, inicialmente num estudo sobre os trabalhos realizados até hoje nesta área, seguindo-se a recolha dos efluentes na empresa ―Estamparia Têxtil Adalberto Pinto da Silva, S.A.‖ (ETAPS) e posterior estudo da recuperação dos efluentes em causa pelo processo de NF utilizando a membrana NF270-2540 da empresa FILMTEC. Os efluentes estudados no presente trabalho continham corantes reactivos sendo um corante azul-claro (CAC) de composição (Amarelo Bril Remazol GL 150% + Azul Brilhante Remazol BB 133% + Azul Turqueza Remazol G) e o outro corante azul-marinho (CAM) de composição (Preto Remazol B 133% + Vermelho Remazol RGB + Amarelo Ouro Remazol RGB). Estes estudos de recuperação compreenderam basicamente 3 fases: caracterização do efluente recolhido na empresa; tratamento desse efluente utilizando uma instalação piloto de NF de fluxo cruzado ou também conhecido por membrana de fluxo tangencial instalado no Laboratório de Tecnologia (LT) do Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto (ISEP), e caracterização dos permeados e dos rejeitados obtidos. A análise de resultados do presente trabalho permitiu concluir ser possível a recuperação e reutilização das 3ª águas de lavagem do processo de tingimento quando tratadas pelo processo de NF a pressões de operação de 6 bar. Nestas circunstâncias os permeados obtidos (tanto no efluente com corante azul-claro como no efluente com corante azul-marinho) apresentam valores, em todos os parâmetros estudados, significativamente abaixo dos valores limites recomendáveis para uma água de abastecimento na Industria Têxtil (IT). Salienta-se reduções mais expressivas nos permeados do corante CAM, com vários parâmetros a sofrerem reduções no intervalo de 98 a 100%, nomeadamente, na cor, turvação, CQO, dureza total, alumínio e manganês. Os resultados obtidos para as pressões de operação de 4 e 8 bar mostram alguns parâmetros com valores acima dos recomendados para uma água de abastecimento na Indústria Têxtil, nomeadamente a cor no corante CAC quando se opera a 4 bar e no corante CAM quando se opera a 8 bar e os sulfatos e ferro no CAM à pressão de 4 bar. Estes resultados mostram ser possível a reutilização da água na própria instalação industrial, trazendo um benefício económico e ambiental, pela redução no consumo de água fresca e energia, além da redução do volume de efluentes que necessitam ser tratados, estando na mesma linha de pensamento de Gross et al (1999), que refere que o uso de membranas para o tratamento de efluentes do processo de tingimento tem como principal objectivo a viabilidade económica, a redução no consumo de água, de sais, de corantes e energia, bem como, a redução do volume de efluentes a ser tratado.
