Some investigations on PHA production using activated sludge as inoculum
This paper indicates that activated sludge under certain conditions can achieve levels of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) accumulation which would enable the economic recovery of this precursor of biodegradable plastics. The effects of C/N ratio and temperature on polyhydroxyalkanoates production were evaluated. Acetate uptake, ammonium consumption, oxygen uptake and PHA production were studied und...
متن کاملSonicated Sludge as Carbon Source for Denitrification
Ultrawaves sludge sonication technology was trialled at Maroochydore STP from February to June 2013. This was believed to be the first fullscale application of mechanical sludge lysis for enhanced denitrification in Australia. The results of the trial confirmed that sonicated waste activated sludge (WAS) could effectively replace the use of methanol as a carbon source for denitrification, and t...
متن کاملEPS Producing Microorganisms from Municipal Wastewater Activated Sludge
Bacterial exopolysacchrides (EPSs) are produced by many bacteria. Nowadays there is an increasing interest in the isolation and exploitation of these polymers for industrial purposes. In general, biosynthesis of EPS varies from one strain to other strain and it depends on genes and enzymes involved in EPS production and secretion. In this study, EPS producing strains were isolated from municipa...
متن کاملOxidized Polyethylene Wax as a Potential Carbon Source for PHA Production
We report on the ability of bacteria to produce biodegradable polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) using oxidized polyethylene wax (O-PEW) as a novel carbon source. The O-PEW was obtained in a process that used air or oxygen as an oxidizing agent. R. eutropha H16 was grown for 48 h in either tryptone soya broth (TSB) or basal salts medium (BSM) supplemented with O-PEW and monitored by viable counting. S...
متن کاملRemoval of Ammonium from Synthetic Wastewater using Integrated Fixed Film Activated Sludge (IFAS) includes Powder Activated Carbon
Background & Aims of the Study: High concentration of nitrogen compounds in water and wastewater can be caused various problems and diseases such as methhemoglobinemia and eutrophication. The aim of this study was investigated nitrification and denitrification from wastewater using integrated fixed film activated sludge (IFAS) includes powder activated carbon. Materias and Methods: The labo...
