Increasing public concern about
environmental issues has led to closure of
several small-scale industries Babu, B. R
et al., (2007).
Dyes are extensively used in the textile
industry. The colour which dues impart to
water bodies is very undesirable to the
water user for aesthetic reasons (Chen,
C.C et al 2005). Due to high concentration
of organics in the effluents and higher
stability of modern synthetic dyes, their
discharges into rivers are harmful to
aquatic life Acosta,D.R et al., (2005).,
