Abstract: “Industrial effluents containing wastewater from textile and dyestuff industries is one of the most difficult to be treated. Since it contains various kinds of synthetic dyes The strong color of these discharged dyes even at very small concentrations has a huge impact on the aquatic environment caused by its turbidity and high pollution strength: in addition toxic-degradation products can be formed, they can cause serious environmental pollution illustrating the need for a non-specific method of decolorization. The low biodegradability of these dyes due to, complex aromatic molecular structures, with most of the dyes being very stable to light, temperature and microbial attack, making them recalcitrant. Conventional waste water treatment is not efficient to remove recalcitrant dyestuffs from effluents. Several physical and chemical methods are effective but have high operating costs and limited applicability. Although, abiotic means of reduction of azo and other dyes exists but they req”
