enzymatic extract preparation from pseudomonas aeruginosa km110 under accession no. hq730879 with lipase activity (0.3 u/ml), was used to perform enzymatic hydrolysis pretreatment of a synthetic dairy wastewater with 1000 mg/l total fat content. the pretreatment was optimized for 48 h hydrolysis time, at 45æ% c with 10% v/v enzymatic extract. the biological treatment of synthetic dairy wastewa...

Present study dealt the removal of Cr(VI) in a tannery industry wastewater using rice husk silica powder as an adsorbent.The experimental investigations have been carried out by using rice husk silica powder for different adsorption dosage, different contact time and different pH against the initial Cr(VI) concentration of 292 mg/L. The maximum percentage removal of Cr(VI) in a tannery industri...

in the present work, a new branch of biotechnological advantage of the latex of an endemic perennial plant, euphorbia microsciadia has been introduced. a novel cysteine protease, designated as microsciadin, was purified from the latex of euphorbia microsciadia by a combination of sequential usage of sp-sepharose fast flow column in two different phs and a final gel filtration chromatography. mi...

the effect of hydraulic retention time in a range from 1.0-5.5 days was evaluated in a laboratoryscaleanaerobic fixed bed reactor packed with a hybrid material composed of tire rubber and zeolite. underthese conditions, cod removal efficiencies varied from 28.3% to 82.1%, respectively. over the more than 6months of operation, no clogging was observed. the results obtained demonstrated that this...

the isolated fungi species of different kinds from chromium contaminated soil sites located in nagalkeni, chennai were used for reducing chromium(vi) in a tannery industry wastewater of nagalkeni, chennai.  the experiments were conducted to know biosorption potential of isolated fungi species for removing chromium(vi) in a tannery industry wastewater against the different ph, fungi biomass and ...

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...

Serious illnesses, including deaths, and adverse environmental impacts have been linked to land application of sewage sludge. EPA and the wastewater treatment industry have worked with Congress to fund wastewater trade associations to promote land application, supporting industry-friendly scientists and discouraging independent research, to prevent local governments from restricting land applic...
