Various physicochemical methods namely photo catalysis, electrochemical, adsorption, hydrolysis and biological methods like microbial degradation, biosorption and bioaccumulation have been analyzed thoroughly along with the merits and demerits of each method. Among these various methods, biological treatment methods are found to be the best for decolorization of Reactive Black 5. With respect to dye biosorption, microbial biomass (bacteria, fungi, microalgae, etc), and outperformed macroscopic materials (seaweeds, crab shell, etc.) are used for decolorization process. The use of living organisms may not be an option for the continuous treatment of highly toxic organic/inorganic contaminants. Once the toxicant concentration becomes too high or the process operated for a long time, the amount of toxicant accumulated will reach saturation. Beyond this point, an organism's metabolism may be interrupted, resulting in death of the organism. This scenario is not existed in the case of dead biomass, which is flexible to environmental conditions and toxicant concentrations. Thus, owing to its favorable characteristics, biosorption has received much attention in recent years.

Increasing population results in rapid industrialization and urbanization. Due to that, the world has been REACTIVE DYES confronted with two major problems.

Dyes are soluble at some stage of agriculture, aquaculture, industrial, shipping, radio- the application process, whereas pigments in general active wastes; on air by industrial pollutants, mobile retain basically their particulate or crystalline form combustion, burning of fuels, ionization radiation, during application. These are used to impart color to cosmic radiation, suspended particulate matter; and on materials of which it becomes an integral part.

Two third of the basic dyes; and (3) Non-ionic: disperse dyes (Gong et earth’s surface is comprised of water. That too it is al., 1993; Mishra & Tripathy, 1993; Fu & Viraraghavan, undeniably the most valuable natural resource existing 2001; Greluk & Hubicki, 2010). on our planet. Industries are polluting the water resource It has been estimated that over 10,000 different is a common occurrence by emanating the effluents. textile dyes and pigments were in common use (Easton, Especially the potable water has become greatly 1995; McMullan et al., 2001).

The discharge of highly colored wastewater with a production of over 7 × 105 metric tons per year into the potable water sources, will convert soon this (Zollinger, 1987; Fu & Viraraghavan, 2001) planet into a desert. Then, it is a serious environmental Among the various classes of dyes, reactive dyes are issue. one of the prominent and most widely used types of azo Dyes and dye pigments are the major sources for dyes and are too difficult to eliminate. They are polluting the water resource. Dyeing process is a extensively used in different industries, including significant consumer of water and producer of huge rubber, textiles, cosmetics, paper, leather, contaminated aqueous waste streams (Barakat, 2010). In pharmaceutical and food (Aksu & Donmez, 2005; a textile industry, 200 to 500 L of water is needed to Vijayaraghavan & Yun, 2008; Wang et al., 2009). produce 1 kg of finished products (Marcucci et al., Because these dyes have favorable characteristics, such 2002). Specifically, the dyeing of 1 Kg of cotton with as wide color spectrum , bright color and color shades, reactive dye demands 70 to 150 L of water, 0.6–0.8 Kg high wet fastness profiles, ease of application, brilliant NaCl and 30 to 60 g of dyestuffs (Colindres et al., colors and minimum energy consumption (Lee & 2010).

These dyes are of anthraquinone, phthalocyanine (Axelsson et al., 2006) great environmental anxiety due to their enormous and reactive group dyes (Lin & Peng, 1994; Sanghi et discharge and toxic character (Zollinger, 1987; Crini, al., 2006; Daneshvar et al., 2007). Most of these dyes 2006; Vijayaraghavan & Yun, 2008; Chatterjeea et al., are toxic and carcinogenic (Acuner & Dilek, 2004). 2010).

Dyes usually have a penetration (Aksu et al., 2007) and also they may be synthetic origin and complex aromatic molecular toxic to some aquatic organisms due to their breakdown structures, which possibly come from coal-tar based products (Hao et al., 2000; He et al., 2007). hydrocarbons such as benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, Once they are released, they not only produce toxic toluene and xylene. amines by reductive cleavage of azo linkages which To limit our scope, this review takes into causes severe effects on human beings through consideration of Reactive Black 5, which is more damaging the vital organs such as brain, liver, kidneys, difficult to remove.
