Recent advancements in bioremediation of dye: Current status and challenges.
Kumar Vikrant,Balendu Shekhar Giri,Nadeem Raza,Kangkan Roy,Ki-Hyun Kim,Birendra Nath Rai,Ram Sharan Singh +6 more
TL;DR: This review was organized to address bioremediation as a practical option for the treatment of dye by evaluating its performance and typical attributes and highlights the current hurdles and future prospects for the abatement of dyes via biotechnology-based remediation techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of hexavalent chromium Cr (VI) using activated carbon prepared from mango kernel activated with H3PO4
M. K. Rai,G. Shahi,V. Meena,R. C. Meena,Sanjukta Chakraborty,Ram Sharan Singh,Birendra Nath Rai +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the adsorption of Cr (VI) from aqueous solutions on activated carbon prepared from mango kernel, a seasonal waste from mango fruits, pulverized in a micro-pulverizing mill.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation of methylene blue dye in a batch and continuous mode using biochar as packing media.
Vikash Bharti,Kumar Vikrant,Mandavi Goswami,Himanshu Tiwari,Ravi Kumar Sonwani,Jechan Lee,Daniel C.W. Tsang,Ki-Hyun Kim,Mohd Saeed,Sunil Kumar,Birendra Nath Rai,Balendu Shekher Giri,Ram Sharan Singh +12 more
TL;DR: The best microbial species for metabolizing dye molecules was selected amongst the isolated bacterial populations by conducting methylene blue (MB) batch degradation studies with the bacterial strains using NaCl‐yeast as a nutrient medium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioremediation of Congo red dye in immobilized batch and continuous packed bed bioreactor by Brevibacillus parabrevis using coconut shell bio-char.
Abu Talha,Mandavi Goswami,Balendu Shekher Giri,Anjaney Sharma,Birendra Nath Rai,Ram Sharan Singh +5 more
TL;DR: The experiment showed that bacteria immobilized with coconut shell biochar in continuous mode showed much better degradation than batch study without immobilization, and the kinetics parameters μmax, Ks, and μmaxKs were found to be 0.0117 L/mg/day using Monod model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ni (II) and Cr (VI) sorption kinetics by Microcystis in single and multimetallic system
TL;DR: In this article, the kinetics of Ni (II) and Cr (VI) sorption by Microcystis, was studied in single and multimetal systems, and external mass transfer and intraparticle diffusion data suggested that MicrocyStis resembles a physical sorbent and therefore holds great potential for employment as a substitute (but requires revalidation at large scale) of physical sorbents in wastewater treatment.
