Solid Waste Management

In recent years, n-hexadecane, a component of diesel petroleum hydrocarbons, is frequently detected as the contaminant in many soils and water resources. The main aims of this study were focused on the feasibility of using the biodegradation for the removal of n-hexadecane from the soil-slurry...

Issue 2

General

In this study, actual soil samples, taken from Kharg Island, Iran, with high levels of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) were bioremediated by a bacterial consortium. The strains were: Pseudomonas sp., Stenotrophomonas sp., Achromobacter sp., Brevibacillus sp. and Staphylococcus sp., which were...

Assessment of toxicity and anaerobic degradation of antiosmotic drug based pharmaceutical effluent in an upflow anaerobic fluidized bed system

by

Saravanane R., Murthy D. V. S. and Krishnainah K.

Issue 2

General

During the production of cephradine (a main constituent of anti-osmotic drug) a large quantity of concentrated effluent was produced. The main polluting compounds in this effluent are osmotic drug, acetic acid and ammonia. The main objectives of the study were to assess the toxicity in terms of...
