The photocatalytic degradation of the chemical dye AZO and dye effluents in different time duration has been investigated using biologically synthesized silver nanoparticles. Dye industry effluents and AZO dye undergo degradation to form harmless intermediate and colourless products following irradiation by UV and solar light in the presence of green synthesized silver nanoparticles. The degree...

The present study deals with effluent analysis of a paper mill using cotton comber and cotton linter as raw material for paper manufacturing process. The effluents generated at different stages were collected. The fibrous sludge samples recovered in different section of mill were also collected. The inorganic parameters i.e. alkalinity, hardness, sulphate, chloride, phosptahe, sodium, potassium...

Pulp and paper mill, controversially, is one of the largest and major contributors of pollution in aquatic environment, affecting aquatic organisms in general and fishes in particular. Several field and laboratory studies were conducted worldwide on effects of both treated and untreated paper mill effluents on fish. The studies showed wide ranges of toxicity at organismal as well as at populati...

Transition metal ion has been receiving a great attention in the recent years, as the high concentration of toxic metal ions. This paper deals with short review and to study the various types of transition metals present in waste water released from Pulp and Paper effluents. These are being constantly poured into the environment, which result in the long lasting bio-hazards in the aquatic eco-s...

Textile effluents are among the most difficult-to-treat wastewaters, due to their considerable amount of recalcitrant and toxic substances. Fungal biosorption is viewed as a valuable additional treatment for removing pollutants from textile wastewaters. In this study the efficiency of Cunninghamella elegans biomass in terms of contaminants, COD and toxicity reduction was tested against textile ...

Soil use and occupation alter the physicochemical biological processes of aquatic ecosystems. Urban streams are fundamental components macro-drainage system cities; however, with advance urbanization, most modified to point that they no longer recognized as but sewage receptors. Physical diagnosis monitoring water quality essential understand trophic state these ecosystems in relation environme...

Among various pollutants, wastewater consists of toxic or carcinogenic heavy metals such as lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), and copper (Cu). In this study, the contamination in residential (Domestic) commercial (Car-wash centre) effluents from urban area Quetta has been investigated using atomic absorption spectroscopy. The collected liquid effluent was passed through sorbents vertical flow. combined bat...

three bacteria from a tobacco industry effluent and one from a sewage sample were isolated on a medium comprising of 1% tobacco powder as sole source of nutrients. bacteria isolated from the industrial waste water were identified as bacillus cereus, b. alvei and b. circulans. while, lactobacillus sp. was isolated from the sewage sample. the bacteria were optimized for various growth conditions ...
