13. Simultaneous biodegradation of phenol and cyanide present in coke-oven effluent using immobilized Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas stutzeri
ABSTRACT Discharge of coke-oven wastewater to the environment may cause severe contamination to it and also threaten the flora and fauna, including human beings. Hence before dumping it is necessary to treat this dangerous effluent in order to minimize the damage to the environment. Conventional technologies have inherent drawbacks however, biological treatm

14. Development of eco-efficiency comparison index through eco-indicators for industrial applications
Abstract In the last decades companies aligned with the concepts and principles of sustainable development have been seeking to minimize the environmental and social impacts caused by their operations. Typically, the primary environmental concerns in the industry were related to water consumption, wastewater production, waste generation, energy consumption a

15. OUTDOOR CULTIVATION OF Scenedesmus obliquus BR003 IN STIRRED TANKS BY AIRLIFT
ABSTRACT: The use of microalgae as a source of raw material for biofuel production has been highly targeted. Compared to other biological options for the capture and use of CO2, microalgae crops have the following advantages: high productivity, lack of competition with feed and food-based products, use of unproductive and non-arable land, and allowance of th

16. Determination of Chlorophenol in Environmental Samples Using a Voltammetric Biosensor Based on Hybrid Nanocomposite
In this work, a simple electrochemical biosensor for 4-chlorophenol was developed based on laccase immobilized on a hybrid nanocomposite (ZnO nanoparticles/chitosan), and incorporated in a carbon paste electrode. There are few biosensors in the literature for this specific pollutant because it tends to form polymeric films on the electrode, causing surface p

17. Draft genome sequence of a caprolactam degrader bacterium: Pseudomonas taiwanensis strain SJ9
Abstract Pseudomonas taiwanensis strain SJ9 is a caprolactam degrader, isolated from industrial wastewater in South Korea and considered to have the potential for caprolactam bioremediation. The genome of this strain is approximately 6.2 Mb (G + C content, 61.75%) with 6,010 protein-coding sequences (CDS), of which 46% are assigned to recognized functional g

18. Soil Quality after Six Years of Paper Mill Industrial Wastewater Application
ABSTRACT The application of wastewater to irrigate soils may be an attractive option for paper mills, especially when the effluents can also provide nutrients to plants. Since there could be negative environmental effects, such activity must be preceded by a thorough evaluation of the consequences. The changes in soil quality of a Neossolo Flúvico Distrófi

19. A broad pH range and processive chitinase from a metagenome library
Chitinases are hydrolases that degrade chitin, a polymer of N-acetylglucosamine linked β(1-4) present in the exoskeleton of crustaceans, insects, nematodes and fungal cell walls. A metagenome fosmid library from a wastewater-contaminated soil was functionally screened for chitinase activity leading to the isolation and identification of a chitinase gene nam

20. UTILIZAÇÃO DE HEMICELULOSES CATIÔNICAS, OBTIDAS A PARTIR DO APROVEITAMENTO DA PALHA DE MILHO, ASSOCIADAS COM TANINO PARA O TRATAMENTO DE EFLUENTES DE LAVANDERIA INDUSTRIAL
The synthesis of cationic derivatives of hemicelluloses from corn husk was carried out by the reaction of hemicelluloses with 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride (ETA) in aqueous sodium hydroxide. The characterization of the cationic derivatives was carried out by elemental analysis, Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Thermogravimetri

21. EVALUATION OF AEROBIC AND ANAEROBIC BIODEGRADABILITY AND TOXICITY ASSESSMENT OF REAL PHARMACEUTICAL WASTEWATER FROM INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION OF ANTIBIOTICS
Abstract This study evaluates aerobic and anaerobic biodegradability and toxicity of a real pharmaceutical wastewater, which focuses on antibiotics production. Zahn-Wellens and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) methodologies were applied in order to verify the wastewater's biodegradability and Microtox® analysis was performed for

22. Evaluation and enhancement of heavy metals bioremediation in aqueous solutions by Nocardiopsis sp. MORSY1948, and Nocardia sp. MORSY2014
ABSTRACT An analysis of wastewater samples collected from different industrial regions of Egypt demonstrated dangerously high levels of nickel (0.27-31.50 mg L-1), chromium (1.50-7.41 mg L-1) and zinc (1.91-9.74 mg L-1) in the effluents. Alarmingly, these heavy metals are among the most toxic knownones to humans and wildlife. Sixty-nine Actinomycete isolates

23. Isolation and characterization of phenol degrading yeasts from wastewater in the coking plant of Zarand, Kerman
Abstract Phenol and phenolic compounds are environmental pollutants present in industrial wastewaters such as coal tar, oil refineries and petrochemical plants. Phenol removal from industrial effluents is extremely important for the protection of environment. Usually, phenol degradation is carried out by physicochemical methods that are costly and produce ha

24. Removal of Chromium(VI) from Industrial Effluents Through Supported Liquid Membrane Using Trioctylphosphine Oxide as a Carrier
The present study describes extraction of chromium(VI) through supported liquid membrane (SLM), Celgard 2400, which was impregnated with trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) dissolved in toluene. The stripping phase was comprised of diphenylcarbazide (DPC) in sulfuric acid (H2SO4) whereas the feed phase consists of potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) and hydrogen perox
