Generates an environmental problem

associated with the presence of certain
amounts of dyes in wastewater

The degree of fixation of dyes on textiles is Low removal of dyes in conventional

usually in the range of 60-80%. water treatment plants

Causes
Uses around 15% of the total water Use of non-biodegradable dyes
used for industrial work in the world

Lack of effective and low-cost treatments at Little supply of biodegradable
