Effluent from electroplating industry contains various heavy metals like Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Zn, which are used in electroplating process of industry. Effluent was slightly greenish in colour and pungent in odour. Physico-chemical properties like total suspended solids (TSS), total solids (TS), alkalinity, Biological oxygen demand (BOD), and Chemical oxygen demand (COD) showed higher values in e...

Soil contamination due to the compounds of chlorophenols is very difficult to treat. Among the chlorophenols, pentachlorophenol (PCP) is quite persistent in the environment which causes serious pollution problem to the surface and subsurface environment (Berta et al., 2007). PCP, an important class of compounds, is used in many industrial applications, and is found in the effluent and soil asso...

The efficiency of treatment of synthetic and semi-synthetic waste oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions by vacuum evaporation is evaluated. A previous destabilisation/centrifugation stage increases the quality of the final aqueous effluent. However, proper selection of a coagulant salt or flocculant is required. A comparison of laboratory-scale evaporation results and those obtained in an industrial eva...

This study was focused on removal of various parameters in paper mill effluent using a method called bioremediation by Azolla caroliniana.  The experimental investigations have been carried out using Azolla caroliniana for conducting the sorption study with various dilution ratios (2, 4, 6, 8, and 10), pH (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9) and biomass (200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000 g). Th...

Klebsiella quasipneumoniae subsp. similipneumoniae MB373 was isolated from effluent of the Hattar Industrial Estate, Haripur, Pakistan. K. quasipneumoniae subsp. similipneumoniae has few cultivated/characterized members so far. Whole-genome sequencing revealed its potential for metal and toxin resistance, which further elucidated various enzymatic processes for the degradation of xenobiotics, i...

The manufacturing, application, and design of chemical processes products that minimize or remove waste the use dangerous toxic reagents are referred to as green chemistry. Green chemistry is made up twelve principles, one which catalysis. role catalysis accelerate reaction by introducing a substance called catalyst. Because their high efficiency, productivity, activity, selectivity, nanocataly...

The study has been focused on effect of untreated distillery effluent (Devans Breweries Ltd., Jammu) on germination of gobi sarson (Brassica napus. L. var. Punjabi Special). Six treatments (E0.... E100) each having three replicates were made. E0 was taken as control in which tap water was used for irrigation of the plants. For E20, E40, E60, E80 and E100, different concentrations i.e. 20, 40, 6...
