Characterization of Effluent from Tannery Industry in Warangal

Degradation of bisphenol a by Aspergillus Sp. isolated from tannery industry effluent

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical produced in large quantities for use primarily in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. It is an endocrine disruptor, which can mimic the body’s own hormones such as estrogen and may lead to negative health effects. The tannery effluent was used as a source for isolation of Aspergillus sp. Physiochemical analysis of the effluent sample was do...

Biosorption of Chromium from Tannery Effluent Using Biomass of Sargassum

The release of chromium into water bodies is one of the major concerns of tannery industries. The present work deals with the determination of Chromium removal capacity of powdered biomass of Sargassum wightii (Greville) in synthetically prepared as well as real tannery effluent. The maximum adsorption was obtained after 12 hours of exposure at pH-4, in 8g/L biomass concentration of the seaweed...

Isolation and molecular characterization of bacterial Strains from tannery effluent and reduction of chromium

A Study on removal of chromium from tannery effluent treatment of chrome tanning waste water using tannery solid waste

This study illustrates the process of removal of chromium from chrome tanning waste-water by fly ash which was drive from chrome shaving dust. This experiment was carried out in a batch process with laboratory prepared adsorbent samples and chrome tanning water collected from local tanneries. The influence of various factors likes adsorbent doses, contact time, and initial concentration of chro...

Isolation, characterization and molecular identification of bacteria from tannery effluent using 16S rRNA sequencing

The present study deals with isolation, identification and analysis of bacteria from tannery effluent through 16S rRNA based molecular technique. Bacterial strain was isolated and characterized using various biochemical tests and confirmed through molecular approach. Bacterial 16S rRNA gene was amplified using suitable primers. The amplified 16S rRNA gene sequence was compared with the sequence...
