Harnessing hydrogen competently through wastewater treatment using a particular class of biocatalyst is indeed a challenging issue. Therefore, biohydrogen potential of real-field wastewater was evaluated by hybrid fermentative process in a single-stage process. The cumulative hydrogen production (CHP) was observed to be higher with distillery wastewater (271 mL) than with dairy wastewater (248 ...

In beginning of 21 century, various industries have been set up for boosting the production of various substances of commercial importance. A distillery factory has been established in industrial development area of Gorakhpur (GIDA). It releases its effluent in the adjoining field/aquatic bodies that directly or indirectly pose a threat to aquatic biota in general and fishes in particular. Pres...

Distillery industry is recognized as one of the most polluting industries in India with a large amount of annual effluent production. In this present study, the optimization of electrochemical treatment process variables was reported to treat the color and COD of distillery spent wash using Ti/Pt as an anode in a batch mode. Process variables such as pH, current density, electrolysis time, and ...

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 ...

The effect of seven rates viz. 0 (control), 5, 10 25, 50, 75 and 100 ml/Kg of treated distillery effluent on the physico-chemical properties of soils was studied under natural environment in pot experiment. The characteristics of the soil were determined before and after 12 weeks of effluent irrigation. The results revealed that the 100% concentration of distillery effluent decreased BD (5.63%)...

Site geology: The geology of the Oak Park site is one of limestone-drift materials overlying regional limestone-bedrock (over which two broad groups of soils occur: light-textured gravelly soils derived from limestone, and more heavy-textured soils derived from till). The soil underlying Miscanthus-plantations used in the experiments the former type, with a perched clay/subsoil layer under the ...

The winery and distillery industry generates an increasing amount of wastes, whose management and disposal constitute an environmental concern due to their seasonal character and some polluting characteristics. The main solid by-products and residues generated are grape stalk, grape pomace or marc, wine lee, exhausted grape marc and winery sludge, while the main effluents are winery wastewater ...

Irrigation with distillery effluent, besides influencing crop yield, may have considerable impact on physical properties of soil because of its high salt and organic carbon contents. This experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effect of distillery effluent on hydraulic conductivity of a sandy loam alluvial soil and compare the effect of inorganic salts of potassium (K) with that of di...
