Algal Bioprocess Development for Sustainable Wastewater Treatment and Biofuel Production
(2017-11-24)Rapid urbanization has led to the generation of enormous wastewater after independence. The domestic wastewater generated in municipalities is rich in nutrients such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus along with other ions. ... -
Assessment of Environmental Issues And Biodegradation Aspects of Current MSW Practices of Developing Country Metropolises - A Case Study of Bangalore
(2017-10-18)Municipal solid waste (MSW) production has significantly increased in the rapidly urbanizing developing world and also changed composition with increased decomposable organic fraction in MSW (OFMSW) and plastics content. ... -
Autoflocculating Mixotrophic Algal Consortia Approach to Sustainable Wastewater Treatement
(2017-10-26)The phenomenon of rapid algal blooms in response to nutrient overloads has been adapted to treat synthetic domestic wastewater. Various algal consortia collected from several eutrophied water bodies were subject to high ... -
Granular Media Supported Microbial Remediation of Nitrate Contaminated Drinking Water
(2018-01-11)Increasing nitrate concentration in ground water from improper disposal of sewage and excessive use of fertilizers is deleterious to human health as ingestion of nitrate contaminated water can cause methaemoglobinemia in ... -
Sustainable and Energy Efficient Treatment Potential of Mixed Algal Consortia for High Nutrient Organic Wastewaters
The increasing levels of generation of nutrient rich wastewaters around the world pose serious challenges where conventional biological and chemical methods of treatment have gradually begun to fail in meeting sustainability ...
