Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of batch process parameters using response surface methodology for dye removal by a novel adsorbent
TL;DR: In this paper, a hybrid adsorbent that was prepared by pyrolysing a mixture of carbon and fly ash in 1:1 ratio was successfully employed for experimental design and analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth kinetics of an indigenous mixed microbial consortium during phenol degradation in a batch reactor.
TL;DR: The biokinetics constants estimated using Haldane and Han-Levenspiel models showed good potential of the mixed microbial culture in phenol degradation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lalit N. Goswami,R. Vinoth Kumar,Siddhartha Narayan Borah,N. Arul Manikandan,Kannan Pakshirajan,Gopal Pugazhenthi +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a consolidate review on the present state of research and advancement in MBR technology along with its augmentation with other wastewater treatment technologies for micropollutant removal, sustainability, and operating cost assessment for its feasibility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fungal pelleted reactors in wastewater treatment: Applications and perspectives
Erika J. Espinosa-Ortiz,Eldon R. Rene,Kannan Pakshirajan,Eric D. van Hullebusch,Piet N.L. Lens +4 more
TL;DR: This review presents the mechanisms involved in the formation and growth of fungal pellets as well as the different factors that influence the stability of the pellets, and discusses the different organic and inorganic pollutants treated using fungal pelleted reactors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heavy metal removal from multicomponent system by sulfate reducing bacteria: Mechanism and cell surface characterization.
TL;DR: The results obtained revealed that the metal precipitates are associated with the outer and inner cell surface of the SRB as a result of the sulfide generated by SRB.
