Abstract
Rapid industrialization and urbanization have resulted in large amount of wastes into the environment causing major pollution problem. Among many pollutants, textile industry effluents are the major source of environmental pollution. Synthetic dyes are widely used in the textile, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries. However, at least 10-15% of the dyes used in textile processing are released into wastewater.
