Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment of tannery wastewater by chemical coagulation
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of pH and coagulant dosages on the coagulation process was studied and conditions were optimised corresponding to the best removal of organic matters, suspended solids as well as chromium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biosorption of lead, copper and zinc ions on loofa sponge immobilized biomass of Phanerochaete chrysosporium
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of fungal biomass immobilized within a loofa sponge (FBILS) to remove heavy metal ions such as Pb(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II)) from aqueous solution was tested as a new biosorbent system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of coloured organic matter by adsorption onto low-cost waste materials
TL;DR: In this article, the effectiveness of 12 different adsorbents, originating from waste materials, were used to treat an effluent, of complex composition, from a chemical works, and the effectiveness was measured in terms of its effect on the colour (absorbance at 450 nm) and COD levels of the effluent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biotechnology in the petroleum industry: An overview
TL;DR: An overview on MEOR and biorefining relevant to the petroleum industry and highlights challenges that need to be overcome to become commercially successful is provided in this paper, where the emerging field of crude oil refining and associated industrial processes such as biodesulfurization, biodemetallation, biodenitrogenation and biotransformation are also covered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of the Cell Surface and Cell Wall Chemistry of Drinking Water Bacteria by Combining XPS, FTIR Spectroscopy, Modeling, and Potentiometric Titrations

TL;DR: This work shows how the combination of potentiometric titrations, modeling, XPS, and FTIR spectroscopy allows a more comprehensive characterization of bacterial cell surfaces and cell wall reactivity as the initial step to understand the fundamental mechanisms involved in bacterial adhesion to solid surfaces and transport in aqueous systems.
