Evaluation of molasses-melanoidin decolourisation by potential bacterial consortium discharged in distillery effluent

Decolourisation of a synthetic textile effluent using a bacterial consortium.

In the present study we examined the performance of a thermoalkalophilic bacterial consortium, where the predominant strain was Bacillus sp. SF, in the degradation of Reactive Black 5 (RB5). We used a reactor working in continuous mode and investigated the effects of pH, hydraulic retention time (HRT) and several added salts on colour and chemical oxygen demand (COD) reductions. For the chosen ...

Biodegradation of Melanoidin from Distillery Effluent: Role of Microbes and Their Potential Enzymes

Bioremediation and decolorization of Distillery effluent by novel Microbial Consortium

Distillery effluent is perilous and hazardous to human race by polluting the water bodies and soil. In whole world every year the total production of distillery products is less then the production of distillery effluents. And due to this the ecological balance continuously disturbing and the food web and food chain of organism also ill effected with the toxic pollutants released from distiller...

Decolourisation of reactive textile dye effluent by using Bacterial strain

The study was investigated the decolorization potentials of certan selected microbial species (bacterial) to an actual textile dyeing industry effluent. All the microbes tested namely (bacterial) Bacillus sp, pseudomonas sp, Acineto bacter, Legionella and Staphylococcus (bacterial) showed greater potential in decolorizing the dye effluent. Bacterial decolorization of textile effluents were crit...

Removal of melanoidin present in distillery effluent as a major colorant: a review.

Effluent originating from distilleries contain large amount of dark brown coloured wastewater called molasses spent wash (MSW). This MSW is the unwanted residual liquid waste to dispose because of low pH, high temperature, dark brown colour, high ash content, unpleasant odour and high percentage of organic and inorganic matter. Dark brown colour of MSW is due to the presence of melanoidin pigme...
