Abstract
In this study, Acid Red 88 (Sodium 4-(2-hydroxy-1-naphthalenylazo)-naphthalenesulfonate) dye solution, which is used extensively in textile industry, was used. Dye removal efficiency determination studies were firstly performed by using three moss species, Chiloscyphus polyanthus, Cinclidotus pachylomoides and Palustriella Falcata (Hedw). In the case of comparison of color removal efficiency of Chiloscyphus polyanthus, Cinclidotus Pachylomoides and Palustriella Falcata (Hedw), it was seen that the species with the highest color removal efficiency with increasing dye concentration was determined for Palustriella Falcata (Hedw). Furthermore, the effect on color removal efficiency was determined at specific concentration, pH and under UVA (Ultraviolet-A) lamp light by using a photo reactor with these mosses species. It has also been detected that these three mosses can be used in photocatalytic studies. Thus, these three mosses species can be employed as color removing material both separately and with UVA light.
