An upflow anaerobic filter was developed with a microbial consortium, consisting predominantly of Alcaligenes faecaiis and Commamonas acidovorans, immobilized on a gravel substratum. Remazol Black B, a commercially important textile dye, was decolourised by ~95% within 48 h (operating conditions: in

The electrochemical technology has been employed for the treatment of soils and liquid medium contaminated with aromatic pollutants as indigo textile dye. In liquid medium, 76% of colour removal was obtained in 87 h, and the addition of NaCl (10 g/ l) reduced the treatment time up to 45 min. In soil
A microbial consortium, PDW, was isolated capable of the rapid decolourisation of commercially important textile dyes under anaerobic conditions. Decolourisation was dependent upon the presence of a carbon and energy source in addition to the textile dyes. PDW was capable of dye decolourisation when
