I found the field of Environmental Sciences & Ecology very interesting. Saw the article Complete biodegradation of azo dye in an integrated microbial fuel cell-aerobic system using novel bacterial consortium published in 2019.0. SDS of cas: 99-04-7, Reprint Addresses Das, A (corresponding author), Natl Inst Technol, Dept Chem Engn, Biochem Engn Lab, Rourkela 769008, India.. The CAS is 99-04-7. Through research, I have a further understanding and discovery of 3-Methylbenzoic acid
In the present work, a commercially used azo dye Remazol navy blue was completely degraded into less toxic intermediates in an integrated microbial fuel cell-aerobic system. A novel defined bacterial consortium comprising of organisms isolated from dye contaminated wastewater has been used as inoculum for this study. As compared to the traditional static incubation method, a rapid decolorization of Remazol navy blue was noticed in the anodic chamber of microbial fuel cell. In low to moderate dye concentrations (25-100mg/L), almost complete decolorization of Remazol navy blue was achieved within 12h of microbial fuel cell operation. The first-order kinetic constant of Remazol navy blue decolorization (k) in microbial fuel cell was found to be considerably higher than that of static incubation condition (K-static (0.3041)
