phenol is an environmental pollutant present in industrial wastewaters such as refineries, coal processing and petrochemicals products. in this study three phenol degrading bacteria from arak petrochemical complex effluent were isolated which consume phenol. molecular analysis was used to identify bacteria and isolated bacteria were identified as rhodococcus pyridinivorans (ns1), advenella faec...

A fuzzy simulation-based optimization approach FSOA is developed for identifying optimal design of a benzene-contaminated groundwater remediation system under uncertainty. FSOA integrates remediation processes i.e., biodegradation and pump-and-treat , fuzzy simulation, and fuzzy-mean-value-based optimization technique into a general management framework. This approach offers the advantages of 1...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) biodegradation in contaminated sediment is an attractive remediation technique and its success depends on the optimal condition for the PAH-degrading isolates. The aims of the current study was to isolate and identify PAHs-degrading bacteria from surface sediments of Nayband Bay and to evaluate the efficiency of statistically based experimental design for...

problematic dyes extensively used in different industries such as textile, paper, food, plasticsand cosmetics have undesirable environmental effects. white rot fungi demonstrating effective extracellularenzyme system, which is capable of degrading dyes and various xenobiotics. the aim of this study was tooptimize decolorization of reactive blue 19 (rb19) dye using phanerochaetechrysosporium. a ...

Phenol is an environmental pollutant present in industrial wastewaters such as refineries, coal processing and petrochemicals products. In this study three phenol degrading bacteria from Arak Petrochemical Complex effluent were isolated which consume phenol. Molecular analysis was used to identify bacteria and isolated bacteria were identified as Rhodococcus pyridinivorans (NS1), A...

phenol and phenolic compounds are among the most recognized environmental pollutants which exist in industrial wastewater and enter the biological cycles due to the solubility in water. Bioremediation is one of the cost-effective and Eco-friendly methods for phenol removal. In this study, the most effective phenol-degrading bacterial strain was isolated and identified from the shores of the Oma...

background: much of the environment is affected by petroleum contamination. it imposes serious health problems for humans as well as serious environmental impact. bioremediation is an important consideration for removing environmental pollutants because, compared with other technologies, it incurrs lower costs and is environmentally compatible. methods: crude oil degrading bacteria were isolate...

The lime pretreatment process for rice straw was optimized to enhance the biodegradation performance and increase biogas yield. The optimization was implemented using response surface methodology (RSM) and Box-Behnken experimental design. The effects of biodegradation, as well as the interactive effects of Ca(OH)2 concentration, pretreatment time, and inoculum amount on biogas improvement, were...
