Experimental Study on the Factors Affecting Hexavalent Chromium Bioreduction by Bacillus cereus
Chromium through natural processes and human activities enters the air, soil and water. Chromium-resistant bacteria are capable of reducing toxic Cr(VI) to less toxic Cr(III). In this work, batch studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of environmental factors on the rate of Cr(VI) reduction from synthetic wastewater of metal plating industry by Bacillus cereus under aerobic conditions. T...
متن کاملInterference Studies for Multi- Metal Binding by Medicago Sativa (al- Falfa)
Previous studies have shown that alfalfa shoot biomass has the ability to bind a significant amount of various individual metals from aqueous solutions. Since most heavy metal-contaminated waters contain more than one heavy metal, it was necessary to determine the binding abilities of the alfalfa biomass with multi-metal solutions. Multi-metal binding capacity experiments resulted in the follow...
متن کاملPhytoremediation Enhanced with Concurrent Microbial Plant Growth Promotion and Hexavalent Chromium Bioreduction
Contamination of agriculturally arable land with industry derived pollutants including heavy metals such as chromium has affected soil fertility as well plant, animal and human health by indirectly entering the food chain. Hexavalent chromium is a byproduct of tanning, electroplating, wood, dye, paper, glass, ceramic etc. industries and is usually discharged as industrial effluent. Cr (VI) is a...
متن کاملBiosorption of hexavalent chromium in a tannery industry wastewater using fungi species
The isolated fungi species of different kinds from chromium contaminated soil sites located in Nagalkeni, Chennai were used for reducing chromium(VI) in a tannery industry wastewater of Nagalkeni, Chennai. The experiments were conducted to know biosorption potential of isolated fungi species for removing chromium(VI) in a tannery industry wastewater against the different pH, fungi biomass and ...
متن کاملFinite element modeling of Cr(VI) reduction by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 employing the dual-enzyme kinetic model
Chromium (VI) (Cr(VI)) contamination of soil and groundwater is considered a major environmental concern. Bioreduction of Cr(VI) to chromium (III) (Cr(III)) can be considered an effective technology in remediating Cr(VI) contaminated sites. Among the Cr(VI) reducing bacteria, Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 (MR-1) is relatively effective. Reduction of Cr(VI) by MR-1 is defined by the dual-enzyme kin...
