Abstract

To investigate the decolorizational characteristics of Congo red by fungi, a fungal strain of Cuuninghamella echinulata was screened in the study of decolorization of azo dye Congo red. It was found that the decolorization rate of Congo red by Cuuninghamella echinulata mycelia pellets could be attained at 96% in 3h. Under agitated condition, the effects of initial pH, temperature, shaker speed and salt concentration on decolorization rate were studied. The results showed that the optimum pH, temperature and shaker speed were 6.5, 33℃ and 120r/min, respectively. In addition, the influence of salt concentration on the decolorization rate was slight. In the Congo red concentration range of 50~200mg/L, the decolorization kinetics of Congo red fitted with pseudo-second-order equation curve(R2>0.999). Moreover, the Langmuir and Freundlich models had been used to describe the isotherm adsorption data for Congo red onto mycelia pellets, and the parameters indicated that the Langmuir model was a better description for the isotherm adsorption(R2>0.999).
