<i>Trichoderma</i> Biomass as an Alternative for Removal of Congo Red and Malachite Green Industrial Dyes
The present study evaluated the removal efficiency of two dyes, Congo red (CR) and malachite green (MG), using either fresh or dry fungal biomass of two species of <i>Trichoderma</i> (<i>T. virens</i> and <i>T. viride</i>) and activated carbon. After 24 h, the CR...

| description | The present study evaluated the removal efficiency of two dyes, Congo red (CR) and malachite green (MG), using either fresh or dry fungal biomass of two species of <i>Trichoderma</i> (<i>T. virens</i> and <i>T. viride</i>) and activated carbon. After 24 h, the CR removal efficiency obtained with fresh biomass was higher than that obtained with activated carbon. For the MG dye, the average removal with activated carbon (99%) was higher than those obtained with dry and fresh biomass of <i>T. viride</i> and <i>T. virens</i>. Experimental results for fresh and dry fungal biomass showed a good correlation with Langmuir isotherms. The adsorption rates of CR and MG by of <i>T. virens</i> and <i>T. viride</i> can be more appropriately described using the pseudo-second-order rate. We found an adsorption capacity of 81.82 mg g<sup>−1</sup> for <i>T. virens</i> with MG dye. Results show that fresh or dry biomass of <i>T. virens</i> can represent a simple and cost-effective alternative for removing industrial dyes such as CR and MG. |
