Toxicity Monitoring of Waste Waters from Tanneries with Microbiotests

Abstract : Waste waters from tanneries pose one of the most difficult problems for the treatment and subsequent discharge of such industrial effluents in surface waters. The biological breakdown of these wastes must be preceded by flocculation to prevent biomass inhibition from exposure to the toxicants present. Residual toxicity, however, persists in the supernatant after the chemical treatment, ...

Plant-endophyte synergism in constructed wetlands enhances the remediation of tannery effluent

Liquid effluent produced from tanning industries is loaded with organic and inorganic contaminants, particularly heavy metals, which may cause severe damage to the ecosystem. Constructed wetland ...

New wastewater treatment technology to produce less sludge

A major environmental challenge for wastewater treatment is the disposal of excess sludge produced during the process. The LIFE Perbiof project has been developing and testing a technology that will help to overcome this challenge. Results ...
