Biodegradability of reduced azo dyes : exploring the second stage of sequential anaerobic-aerobic treatment of azo-dy-containing wastewater

Sequential anaerobic-aerobic treatment is the most logical biological strategy for the removal of azo dyes from wastewater. In the anaerobic stage, azo dyes, which generally resist aerobic biodegradation, are fortuitously reduced under anaerobic conditions, yielding colorless aromatic amines. In the...
