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

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

Treatment Processes and Technologies for Decolourization and COD Removal of Distillery Spent Wash: A Review

Most of distilleries in India use biomethanation process to treat the spent wash generated during the alcohol process, to ensure the effective treatment all distillery industries follow 13 fold dilutions due to which tremendous amount of spent wash is generated. 8 -15 l of spent wash was generated during 1 l of alcohol, thus distillery industries consume more water and produce waste water on a ...

Decolorization of a recalcitrant organic compound (Melanoidin) by a novel thermotolerant yeast, Candida tropicalis RG-9

BACKGROUND Sugarcane distilleries use molasses for ethanol production and generate large volume of effluent containing high biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) along with melanoidin pigment. Melanoidin is a recalcitrant compound that causes several toxic effects on living system, therefore, may be treated before disposal. The aim of this study was to isolate a potent...

Media Optimization for the Decolorization of Distillery Spent Wash by Biological Treatment using Pseudomonas Fluorescence

The wastewater released from distilleries and fermentation industries are the major source of soil and aquatic pollution due to presence of water-soluble recalcitrant colouring compounds called melanoidins. Biological decolourisation of of these compounds found more advantages compared to chemical treatments. Hence in this study, the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens showing higher decolorizati...

Effect of initial pH on biodegradation of distillery wastewater by batch process using anaerobic mixed consortia

Biodegradation of distillery wastewater is dependent on initial pH. In this present research, the effect of initial pH from 5.0 to 6.5 on biodegradation of distillery wastewater using anaerobic mixed consortia by batch process was investigated. The parameters like chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency, oxidation reduction potential (ORP), final pH, total phenol content, total protein ...
