Biosorption and Screening of Lead (Pb) Tolerant Indigenous Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Tannery Effluent Contaminated Site
Abstract: The present study deals with isolation, identification, and characterization of heavy metal resistant bacteria isolated from effluent of Ezar Tanneries, Vaniyambadi, Vellore district, South India. Initially, a total of 11 bacterial isolates were screened on Luria Bertani (LB) agar plates supplemented with 5 mg/L concentration of five different heavy metal ions such as Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn separately. A best microorganism was selected based on high level of …

Optimizing the removal of Chromium from aqueous solution by adsorption using sugarcane bagasse
Abstract: In Ethiopian tannery and textile industries, chromium concentration before treatment ranges from 1000 ppm to 5000 ppm. From this concentration about 95 % of chromium exists in the form of Cr (III), which was toxic when its concentration exceeded 5 ppm and oxidized in to Cr (VI). This chromium was disposed to environment with effluent in the form of chromium III and chromium VI was highly toxic to humans, animals …

Effect of Cycle Time Lengths on the Performance of Aerobic SBR Treating Tannery Wastewater
Abstract: AbstractTannery industry generates significant quantities of wastewater which contains high organic matter, nitrogen, and chromium which needs to be treated before discharged into receiving water bodies. The aim of this study is to characterize tannery wastewater and to investigate the effect of cycle time length on performance of aerobic sequencing batch reactor (SBR) for treating a high load tannery wastewater. In this experimental study, an aerobic biological SBR with 50m3 …
