Biological treatment of phenol using microorganisms: Pseudomonas,Acinetobacter and Chlorella

This research work addressed laboratory study for biological treatment of phenol. Figuring phenol disintegration will give an idea of biodegradation of most organic chemicals since it is included in the composition of most of them. Biological treatment is considered one of the effective and economic ways to address phenol treatment by biodegradation as compared with high cost methods of physical and chemical processing. The method is of low efficiency when applied to high concentrations, in addition to formation of secondary compounds that may be more dangerous than the target material The study focused on use of three isolates, i.e. - IJISET - International Journal of Innovative Science, Engineering & Technology,

Biological treatment of poultry slaughterhouses wastewater by using aerobic moving bed biofilm reactor

Wastewater emerging from poultry technical slaughterhouses is characterized by its high degree of pollution in terms of organic content. This causes a rise in organic load disposed to wastewater treatment plants and thereby drooping efficiency. Effective and economical ways to treat such wastewater, based on reducing concentration of organic loads to appropriate level, preserves environs and reduces treatment costs for owners of industrial plants without augmenting investment costs. Aerobic Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) technology based on biofilm phenomenon is advocated in this research work. - International Research Journal of Public and Environmental Health
