The effect of seven rates viz. 0 (control), 5, 10 25, 50, 75 and 100 ml/Kg of treated distillery effluent on the physico-chemical properties of soils was studied under natural environment in pot experiment. The characteristics of the soil were determined before and after 12 weeks of effluent irrigation. The results revealed that the 100% concentration of distillery effluent decreased BD (5.63%)...

In beginning of 21 century, various industries have been set up for boosting the production of various substances of commercial importance. A distillery factory has been established in industrial development area of Gorakhpur (GIDA). It releases its effluent in the adjoining field/aquatic bodies that directly or indirectly pose a threat to aquatic biota in general and fishes in particular. Pres...

The disposal of post methanated diluted effluent (PMDE) from the distillery and fly ash from the thermal power plants has assumed a cosmic dimension in India because they are produced in huge quantities. Thus, their gainful utilization is imperative. In the present paper their gainful utilization for sustainable development has been discussed herein. The results have revealed that the electrica...

The study has been focused on effect of untreated distillery effluent (Devans Breweries Ltd., Jammu) on germination of gobi sarson (Brassica napus. L. var. Punjabi Special). Six treatments (E0.... E100) each having three replicates were made. E0 was taken as control in which tap water was used for irrigation of the plants. For E20, E40, E60, E80 and E100, different concentrations i.e. 20, 40, 6...

The utilization of treated agro-industrial effluents has been recommended as sound option for agriculture irrigations practices and sustainable land management programme. This paper presents the impact of utilizing treated effluent form a distillery industry on physico-chemical properties of soils in an agriculture plot. The effluent was applied in 50 and 100% strength and a control plot receiv...

Distillery effluent is perilous and hazardous to human race by polluting the water bodies and soil. In whole world every year the total production of distillery products is less then the production of distillery effluents. And due to this the ecological balance continuously disturbing and the food web and food chain of organism also ill effected with the toxic pollutants released from distiller...

Susceptibility patterns of 12 different antibiotics were investigated against rhizospheric bacteria isolated from Phragmites australis from three different zones i.e. upper (0-5 cm), middle (5-10 cm), lower (10-15 cm) in constructed wetland system with and without distillery effluent. The major pollutants of distillery effluent were phenols, sulphide, heavy metals, and higher levels of biologic...

The conventional treatment of distillery effluent including to secondary biologically treatment leaves excessive residue for disposal in surface water and onto the land. Optimal sub-surface loading of Phragmites karka tolerate distillery waste and achieve sustainable zero discharge. Pilot investigations established that subsurface loading into soil matrix (three part river sand, one part pebble...

The disposal of industri al eftluents is a problem of increasing importance throughout the world. In Indi a, a huge amount of waste water generated from distillery and paper industri es is discharged on land or into the running water. Di stillery waste water is characterized by low pH, hi gh BOD and COD values and contains a high percentage of organic and inorganic material s. This waste water ...

A survey of Candida albicans indicated that the organism was present at all sites sampled in a rain forest stream and in near-shore coastal waters of Puerto Rico. In the rain forest watershed no relationship existed between densities of fecal coliforms and densities of C. albicans. At two pristine sites in the rain forest watershed both C. albicans and Escherichia coli survived in diffusion cha...
