Drying of Bio-waste Utilizing Aerobic Biodegradation

Aerobic biodegradation of alkylphenol ethoxylates.

Primary aerobic biodegradation of alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEOs) was studied using a new simple and fast porphyrin method, which did not require the extraction step. Extent of primary biodegradation of a nonylphenol ethoxylates (NP-10) was excess of 92% after 1.5 days, and reached 99% after 2 days, which was similar to the results obtained using modified CTAS (thiocyanate active substances) me...

Bacterial Biodegradation of CCA-Treated Waste Wood

As wood treated with chromated copper arsenate (CCA) is removed from service, methods for eliminating toxic metals from the wood are needed. CCA-tolerant bacteria were evaluated for their ability to modify CCA-treated wood. Aerobic bacteria were isolated from a 20-year-old test plot of CCA-treated stakes. Bacteria selected for their ability to grow on nutrient agar containing CCA components, we...

Biodegradation of Textile Waste by Bacterial Strains

Harmful effects of textile industry effluents are a huge problem for now a days. It creats many problems at different level of ecosystem. The textile industry generates a high volume of waste products. Approx. seventy tons of dye is used annually. A big portion of such amount is discharged in a huge amount of water which affects the quality of water. They are cause of high BOD, COD sulphate, lo...

MSW Bio-Drying And Bio-Stabilization: An Experimental Comparison

Aerobic Thermophilic Composting of Municipal Solid Waste

Composting is a natural process that turns organic material into a dark rich substance called compost. Aerobic Composting is the creation of compost that depends on bacteria that thrive in an oxygen rich environment. Aerobic bacteria manage the chemical process by converting the inputs (i.e. air, water and carbon and nitrogen rich materials) into heat, carbon dioxide and ammonium. The ammonium ...
