Identification and assessment of appropriate remediation management techniques for the recovery of soil-like material produced in landfill mining.

Landfill mining has received major attention in recent years for the reclamation of waste disposal sites, including in developing countries such as India where significant efforts are being made to manage sites in this way. The bulk of the material obtained from landfill mining consists of fine-grained soil-like material (SLM) but its direct reuse in off-site applications is restricted due to the presence of harmful heavy metals, soluble salts and other pollutants. In this study, appropriate techniques for managing SLM to permit recovery and reuse are assessed.

Detoxification and decolorization of complex textile effluent in an enzyme membrane reactor: batch and continuous studies.

There is an urgent need to look for bio-based technologies to address the pollution related to textile dyes in waterbodies. The aim of this study was to evaluate an engineered laccase variant, LCC1-62 of , expressed in recombinant , for the decolorization and detoxification of real textile effluent. The partially purified laccase effectively (~60-100%) decolorized combined effluent from different dyeing units at a laccase concentration of 500 U/L at a 50-mL level.

Role of electrode and proton exchange membrane configurations on microbial fuel cell performance toward bioelectricity generation integrated wastewater treatment.

In the present study, the effects of electrode surface area, proton exchange membrane area, and volume of the anodic chamber were investigated on the performance of five different dual chamber microbial fuel cells (MFC) using synthetic wastewater toward wastewater treatment coupled electricity generation. In the batch mode, the five different MFC's were operated with the anodic chamber volumes of 93-890 mL, 17.33-56.
