In this study dairy sludge was evaluated as an alternative cultivation medium for Rhizobium. Growth of bacterial strains at different concentrations of Dairy sludge was monitored. Maximum growth of all strains was observed at 60% Dairy sludge concentration. At 60% optical density (OD) values are 0.804 for Rhizobium trifolii (MTCC905), 0.825 for Rhizobium trifolii (MTCC906), and 0.793 for Rhizob...

Nowadays, synthetic diamond has been studied for its application in wastewater treatment, electroanalysis, organic synthesis and sensor areas; however, its use in the water disinfection/purification is its most relevant application. The new electrochemistry applications of diamond electrodes open new perspectives for an easy, effective, and chemical free water treatment. This article highlights...

Basic understanding of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) processes has mainly been obtained in laboratory-scale studies with simple synthetic wastewaters. Two approaches were applied here to make a step toward the comprehension of AGS systems treating real municipal wastewater. One approach consisted in increasing the complexity of the influent composition of an AGS sequencing batch reactor (SBR) f...

To investigate the performance of microbial fuel cell (MFC) with a single-chamber membrane, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is used as bio catalyst for various synthetic wastewaters rich in carbohydrate and compared real dairy wastewater this experiment. Therefore, choice appropriate carbon, nitrogen, NaCl, inoculum content, temperature, pH process parameters are preparing was agreed upon by one-variabl...

Dairy cattle farming produces large amounts of wastewater and it causes environmental pollution eutrophication rivers, but the nutrients in waste could be recycled. Here, an improved vermicomposting system was applied to dairy farm wastewater, with a nitrogen content 100 mg/L 200mg/L tested different combinations organic substrates such as cow manure rice straw rural solid waste. Results showed...

Dairy industry wastewater is rich in organic content, presenting a high biodegradability, and therefore biological treatments are widely employed. This study aimed to evaluate biosolids production three systems: activated sludge (AS), movingbed biofilm reactor (MBBR), sequencingbatch (SBMBBR). Simulated dairy was used at different load rates (OLRs): 1.22, 2.87, 5.44 gCOD L−1d−1. Besides product...
