AI Technical Summary
There is a lack of effective wastewater treatment methods for dye compounds produced through microbial fermentation that are biodegradable, leading to high environmental impact and costs due to the difficulty in decomposing these compounds.
A wastewater treatment method involving the discharge and biodegradation of pigment compounds and their derivatives obtained through microbial fermentation, utilizing specific indigoidin compounds and derivatives, which are biodegradable, along with optional steps like membrane filtration, oxidation, coagulation, and anaerobic treatment.
The method reduces environmental impact and costs by enabling the biodegradation of pigment compounds, minimizing the need for incineration processes and reducing the overall environmental burden.
