Biobleaching of Textile Dye Effluent Using Mixed Culture through an Immobilized Packed Bed Bio Reactor (IPBBR)

Treatment Of Slaughterhouse Effluent Using Upflow Anaerobic Packed Bed Reactor

Most of the slaughterhouses in the state of Kerala (India) do not have proper and effective effluent treatment facilities. Collection of blood and separation of manure to reduce the very high organic load of the effluent are also not practiced. As a result, large volumes of extremely complex effluents with high content of fat, grease, and protein are discharged into land or water bodies causing...

Citronellyl Butyrate Synthesis in Non-Conventional Media Using Packed-Bed Immobilized Candida Rugosa Lipase Reactor

The synthesis of citronellyl butyrate by direct esterification reaction catalyzed by immobilized lipase from Candida rugosa was studied in a continuous packed bed reactor using n-hexane as organic solvent. Parameters such as residence time, temperature, and pH were examined. The optimum conversion was obtained at a flow rate of 1 ml/min (residence time 8 min), temperature of 50 °C, and pH 7.5. ...

Application of the mixture design to decolourise effluent textile wastewater using continuous stirred bed reactor

Important pollutants in textile effluents are mainly recalcitrant organics, colours, toxicants and inhibitory compounds, surfactants, chlorinated compounds (AOX), pH and salts. An aerobic system using a continuous stirred bed reactor (SBR) was continuously operated at constant temperature and fed with textile wastewater (pH 7 and total chemical oxygen demand (COD) 1 700 mg/l).This report is foc...

Experimental Studies on Decolourization of Azo Dye in Textile Effluent by using Bio Remediation Technique

Studies were carried out on the decolorization of azo dyes by Bacillus species from effluent of textile industries. About 10 bacterial strains were isolated from the effluent of textile industries, Bacillus sp. showed remarkable ability in decolorizing the widely utilized azo dyes. Phenotypic characterization and phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA sequence comparisons indicate that these s...
