Combining free cell systems with immobilized microbial consortia can greatly enhance dye removal efficiency while lowering treatment costs, and offer sustainable and scalable solutions for treating textile dye wastewater, promoting environmentally friendly wastewater management and supporting cleaner production in the textile industry.
The textile industry generates dye-containing wastewater characterized by intense coloration, high salinity, elevated oxygen demand, and recalcitrant pollutants. Although conventional treatment technologies can remove color and reduce organic load, decolorization alone does not guarantee detoxification because toxic tr...

The presence of emerging contaminants (ECs) such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, flame retardants, and personal care products is a growing concern for aquatic systems and human health because these contaminants are persistent and difficult to remove using traditional wastewater treatment methods. Microalgae‐based syste...
