Abstract

Dye wastewater from the textile industry has many adverse impacts on the environment and is one of the main factors causing pollution of water resources in particular. Due to technical problems in the textile industry, dyes cannot be completely fixed on textiles and hence the dyes are mixed with water and discharged into the water without treatment or with incomplete treatment. Algae has essential functions in aquatic ecosystems and this paper investigates the effects of dye effluents on algae in several ways, focusing on the important role relationship of azo dyes, the most commonly used dyes today, in the effects of algae and the aquatic environment. In addition, azo dyes are structurally very steady and difficult to break down, which can have a lasting impact on the environment. This article takes the Konto River, which is polluted by dye wastewater, as an example to study and analyze that azo dyes will inhibit the growth of algae and reduce their nutritional value. At the same time, the discharge of azo dyes into the water may cause eutrophication and form a dead zone. This paper suggests that in the future, the government needs to set clearer discharge standards and study more comprehensive utilization of dye wastewater treatment methods to achieve the best results.
