The present study deals with the decolorization of azo dye Acid Orange 7 (AO7) using a macrocomposite based sequencing batch biofilm reactor (MC-SBBR). The effect of biofilm thickness towards the decolorization as well as the biodegradation of aromatic amines formed through AO7 treatment process was...
