In the present study, a laboratory-scale biofilter column was designed and fabricated. It was packed with a mixture of coal and compost as a packing medium. The column was enriched with an indigenous bacterial strain ...

Chromium was discovered in 1797 by Vauquelin. Numerous industrial applications raised chromium to a very important economic element. At the same time, with the development of its uses, the adverse effects of chromium ...

In recent years, the biofiltration technique has gained significant importance for the removal of toxic organic compounds. However, very limited studies on biofiltration were carried out for the removal of divalent copper ...

Biological methods have been successfully used to mitigate heavy metal pollution problem in wastewater. The present study was aimed towards isolation of a novel indigenous bacterial strain, Acinetobacter guillouiae from ...

An aerobic mixed culture collected in the form of activated sludge was enriched for Cr(VI) reduction. An indigenous microorganism was isolated from the enriched aerobic mixed culture and identified as Pseudomonas taiwanensis. ...

Iso-propyl alcohol (IPA) is an organic chemical regarded as a potential pollutant. The permissible exposure limit (PEL) of IPA specified by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is 400 mg L-1. In this study ...

Environmental concerns are gaining importance in ground water resource management. Reverse osmosis (RO) systems are commonly used for filtration of surface and ground water for domestic and commercial purposes. This study ...

Biofiltration of off-gases containing Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) is a reliable and cost effective technology for VOCs removal. Due to many inherent advantages, most of the industries operate biofilters under the ...

Biological route is one of the viable options to mitigate CO2 from its point sources. The major purpose of the review article is to discuss the possible utilization of microbial cultures for the mitigation of CO2. The ...
