Chromium is abundant in nature and has a dominant presence in most of the effluent streams as compared to other heavy metal ions. The presence of highly toxic and carcinogenic hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in effluent streams is a major environmental issue. The electroplating and tannery industry effluents are the major source for the Cr(VI) production in wastewater streams. The present work dea...

Bacillus coagulans, a tannery wastewater isolate, previously shown to bind dissolved Cr(VI), retained its ability to biosorb Cr(VI) in different matrices. Polymeric materials like agar, agarose, calcium alginate and polyacrylamide were screened. Agarose emerged as the suitable candidate for biomass immobilization mainly due to its higher stability and integrity in acidic pH. Aptness of agarose ...

This study presents performance of upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor in treating liquefied fleshings (LFs) with tannery wastewater (TWW) using liquefaction reactor (LR). With increase in recirculation rate, methane production increased in LR than in UASB reactor due to methanogenic bacteria in LR. UASB reactor with continuous feeding of LFs and TWW resulted with cumulative methane ...

Tannery in Bangladesh has a long history as profitable business though it both environmental and health hazards. The labour rights of tannery workers are disrupted their standard living is miserable. Nevertheless, the job tedious. aim this paper to explore current status basic maintained tanneries based Dhaka Narayanganj districts Bangladesh. This study qualitative nature. Primary data have bee...

The emerging environmental problem in the tanning industry is disposal of chromium-contaminated sludge soil. In Walajapet Taluk Vellore District, distribution and mobility chromium soils surrounding tannery waste region were explored. This paper presents soil contamination agricultural lands located SIPCOT Industrial complex near India. 64 samples collected from 15 different villages, analyzed ...

1, 4, 5, 6-Tetrahydro-2-methyl-4-pyrimidine carboxylic acid (ectoine) is an excellent osmoprotectant. Ectoine and hydroxyl ectoines are of great significance to the biotechnology industry, thus the detection and isolation of ectoine producing bacteria is of great importance. Hence, this study involved the detection of the ectC gene (encoding ectoin synthase enzyme) using polymerase chain reacti...
