Tertiary treatment of coke-oven wastewater using suspended and immobilized whole live cells of constructed bacterial-microalgal consortium: modeling and optimization using ANN-GA hybrid methodology.

Coke-oven wastewater (CW), containing an array of toxic pollutants above permissible limits even after conventional primary and secondary treatment, needs a tertiary (polishing) step to meet the statutory limit. In the present study, a suitable bacterial-microalgal consortium (Culture C) was constructed using bacterial (Culture B: Bacillus sp. NITD 19) and microalgal (Culture A: a consortium of Chlorella sp.

Bioremediation of hexavalent chromium from wastewater using bacteria-a green technology.

Hexavalent chromium has high toxic effect on the ecological system. The aim of the present study is to isolate and characterize the bacteria that can reduce the toxicity of hexavalent chromium from liquid effluent. The bacterial isolate was identified as Bacillus sp.

Enhancement of nutritional value of fried fish using an artificial intelligence approach.

Frying affects the nutritional quality of fish detrimentally. In this study, using Catla catla and mustard oil, experiments were carried out in varying temperatures (140-240 °C), times (5-20 min), and oil amounts (25-100 ml/kg of fish) which established drastic reduction of 44.97% and 99.

Modeling and multi-objective optimization of commercial ethylene oxide reactor to strike a delicate balance between profit and negative environmental impact.

The present work emphasizes the development of a generic methodology that addresses the core issue of any running chemical plant, i.e., how to maintain a delicate balance between profit and environmental impact.
