The disposal of effluent is a major source of pollution in water bodies, textile effluent is a problem of major concern in the locale. Adsorption is the adhesion of atoms, ions, or molecules from a gas, liquid, or dissolved solid to a surface. Treatment for textile effluent involves the usage of chemicals to remove dye which is incompetent in removing the heavy metals and other organic matter in the effluent which remains unprocessed. The biosorption studies using Aspergillus niger biomass showed an overall decolorization of around 85% with a metal adsorption rate of 81% which can be feasibly utilized for the eco friendly treatment of textile effluents.
