Textile wastewater has become one of the serious environmental problems due to containing a high concentration of chemicals with extreme color intensity. Reactive red RB is among the synthetic azo dyes commonly used as a textile colorant with their property are very difficult to degrade naturally. This research was focused on studying the kinetic behavior, and adsorption isotherm of reactive red RB textile dye on coconut leaf stalk activated carbon (CLSC). Coconut leaf stalk carbon was activated using sulphuric acid and sodium hydroxide. It was investigated in terms of chemical functional groups, surface morphology, carbon content, ash content, and adsorption efficiency of reactive red RB textile dye under various conditions of initial pH, incubation time, and dye concentration. The results showed the maximum adsorption efficiency of reactive red RB dye with a concentration dye of 60 mg/l onto CLSC surface activated by sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide in an experiment carried out at pH 5 for 120 min were 88.73% and 64.27%, respectively. The adsorption isotherm of reactive red RB on the CLSC surface follows the Langmuir isotherm model, which shows that the adsorption process occurs monolayer. In contrast, the adsorption kinetics correspond to pseudo-second-order.

A representative group of hydrophilic fungi from the genus Trichoderma isolated from lignocellulose composts with varying degrees of maturity was analyzed for their ability to biodegrade a harmful anthraquinone dye, i.e. Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR). In RBBR-containing post-culture liquids, there were determined the degree of RBBR decolorization, horseradish peroxidase-like, superoxide dismutase-like, and xylanase activities, and the concentrations of low-molecular phenolic compounds. The study results demonstrated that Trichoderma asperellum, T. harzianum, and T. lixii strains isolated from compost containing larger amounts of easily available lignocellulose fractions, i.e. grasses, exhibit higher RBBR decolorization efficiency ranging from 0.3 to 62% than T. citrinoviride strains isolated from compost II, which contained greater quantities of hardly degradable lignocellulose. The decolorization of remazol blue R by the investigated Trichoderma strains intensified significantly with the increase in peroxidase activity and it was correlated with a decline in the content of low-molecular phenolic compounds. The dynamics of changes in the horseradish peroxidase-like, superoxide dismutase, and xylanase activities in the aqueous post-culture liquids of the investigated fungal strains depended largely on the duration of the culture. Given their ability to adapt to water environments, e.g. wastewater, and to decolorize and detoxify the RBBR anthraquinone dye, Trichoderma fungi can be used for bioremediation of such environments.

Cerrena unicolor secreted two laccase isoenzymes with different characteristics during the growth in liquid media. Purification involved only two steps of ultrafiltration and ion exchange chro- matography (Mono Q)- We assayed molecular weights, isoelec- tric points, optimum pH and temperature of isoenzymes. Both isoenzymes oxidized typical laccase substrates as well as textil dyes.
