Management of industrial effluents is one the major challenges affecting developing nations world. Many these industries release their indiscriminately into environment without proper treatment, which has caused a great health hazards to and living population this nation. The aim study was determine effect electromagnetic field on microbial load from food dairy industry at Akure, Ondo state, Ni...

Microbial breakthrough curves of 12 soils, generated by the application of dairy shed effluent followed by continuous artificial rainfall for one pore volume at 5 mm h(-1) onto large undisturbed soil cores, have been ranked as high, medium, or low potential for microbial bypass flow. The ranking is based on the position of the peak in the breakthrough curve. Knowledge of soil properties that af...

Aquatic macrophytes have been widely studied because of their capability of absorbing contaminants from water and their subsequent use in biomonitoring. This study presents a comparison of Cr accumulating potential of submerged aquatic plants viz Vallisneria spiralis and Hydrilla verticillata. These plants were treated with various concentrations of treated tannery effluent collected from UASB,...

Anaerobic digesters are becoming a popular waste treatment option in New York State. These systems generate energy for on-farm use and sale while providing significant odor reduction. Research has shown that mesophilic systems (T=100F) have the potential to reduce pathogens entering the environment. A plug flow digester was monitored for 14 months starting in May 2001. Samples taken from the di...

The contents presented in this paper focuses on the performance of UASB (Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket) reactor for treating various industrial and domestic wastewaters at various operating conditions. The reactors can be used conveniently for the treatment of tannery, distillery, food processing, metal mining, dairy, domestic wastewater etc. The performance of the reactor mainly depends on t...
