Abstract
The textile industries in their production processes and biological laboratories in their research works throw
quite a few quantities of various types of dyes and stains to the river’s water and sewerage. The problem is going to get
worse if these wastewater from textile factories and biological laboratories poses without any treatment. This paper deals
with examine the treating ability of polluted water with nine kinds of textile dyes and biological stainswhich were Congo
red, direct black, direct brown, Indigo Carmine, haematoxylin, eosin, brilliant green, crystal violent and methylene blue
using potato peels as low cost material with two methods, the first one is enzymatically method via extraction of
polyphenol oxidase (PPO) enzyme from fresh potato peels and treating water polluted of high dyes concentrations with
loaded PPO on zeolite prepared from rice husk and the other method is physically method through using potato peels
residue from enzyme extraction process treating water polluted of low dyes concentrations by adsorption technique. The
results show high ability of two methods (enzymatically and physically) to remove dyes from polluted water for both
high and low concentrations.
