متن کاملAir Pollution Control in Municipal Solid Waste Incinerators
Municipal solid waste (MSW) remains a major problem in modern societies, even though the significant efforts to prevent, reduce, reuse and recycle. At present, municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) in waste-to-energy (WtE) plants is one of the main management options in most of the developed countries. The technology for recovering energy from MSW has evolved over the years and now sophisti...
متن کاملESTIMATION OF HEAVY METAL TOLERANCE AND ANTIBIOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY OF Bacillus cereus ISOLATED FROM MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE
With the intension to screen heavy metal tolerance and antibiotic susceptibility, a bacterium was isolated and characterized from municipal solid waste dumping yard (Dhapa), Kolkata, India. On the basis of biochemical and 16S rDNA sequence profile, it was identified as Bacillus cereus. Tolerance was observed against heavy metals like Cd, Co, Ni, Cr, Pb , Hg by this bacterium and was found that ...
