Abstract In this paper, the prevention of negative technogenic impact on the environment of oil sludge by using it as a secondary resource is considered. Oil sludge from various objects of oil fields in Kazakhstan (Mangystau region) has been studied. The possibilities of using oil (after its separation from oil sludge by bioremidiation) as a partial substitute for bitumen base in the production of modified bitumen are considered. The main physical and mechanical characteristics of modified bitumen are determined. The results confirm that the modified bitumen prepared with oil sludge and oil separated by bioremiation method meets the requirements for polymer-bitumen binder to Kazakhstan standards and is suitable for the production of modified bitumen in its physico-chemical characteristics.

Traditional gold mining has been a widely handed down livelihood from the colonial era in Lebong regency, Bengkulu. Limited resources and low technology used on the gold mining has produce mercury waste that discharge to the environments directly. Over a long period of time, a unique bacteria community have been established in the mercury contaminated area. These bacteria can survive in the toxic metals’ environments. Bioremediation can be an alternative in dealing with environmental pollution by heavy metals. The goal of this research was to obtain morphological characterization of colonies and cell isolates of mercury reducing bacteria from the waste of gold miner for chromium bioremidiation. Bacterial isolation was carried out with nutrient agar (NA) media containing HgCl2 concentration of 0.01 ppm, 003 ppm, 0.05 ppm, 0.1 ppm and 0.2 ppm. The isolation results were selected from bacterial isolates that grew at HgCl2 concentrations. The selected isolates supported the independence of chromium with K2CrO4 concentrations of 10, 100 and 1,000 ppm. Then the morphology characterization of selected colonies and bacterial cells was carried out. The results of the study obtained 8 pure mercury reducing isolates. Only Sp8 bacterial isolates have the highest resistance to chrome to a concentration of 1,000 ppm. Bacteria Sp8 has the surface morphology of fine colonies, edges of circular colonies, flat elevation, overall appearance and color of yellowish white colonies and cell morphology with gram negative properties, basil cell shape, single cell arrangement and available endospores.

Full textAbstract:
Biodegradation of agricultural wastes that constitute major source of environmental hazards and pollution by Pleurotus ostreatus is of importance in bioremediation of plant organic residues. Different agro-wastes; saw dust (SD), sugarcane baggasse (SB) and maize stalk (MS) and in combination (SD+MS, SD+SB, SB+MS, SD+MS+SB), were used to investigate the polysaccharide degrading potentials of P. ostreatus at the Department of Plant Health Management, Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, Umuahia, Abia State. The fungus significantly (P<0.05) degraded the hemicelluloses, cellulose and lignin contents of the substrates though to varying degrees. The loss of polysaccharide content of the test substrates due to the fungus ranged as follows; hemicelluloses, from 20.64% with MS substrate to 48.92% with SB substrate; cellulose from 24.06% with SD substrate to 41.92% with SB substrate and lignin content from 4.01 % with MS substrate to 27.45% with SD substrate. The average delignification of the substrate polysaccharides by P. ostreatus was highest with SB substrate (37.86%), followed by SD+SB substrate (31.76%) and SD substrate (27.56%). This not only showed the ability of P. ostreatus to degrade agricultural wastes efficiently and grow at a wide range of substrates but also a potent organism capable of biodegrading and detoxifying a wide range of wastes and pollutants.

Sukinda Valley, of Orissa, contains 97% of India’s chromite ore deposits and one of the prime open cast chromite ore mines in the world. (ENVIS Newsletter, 2007). Hexavalent
chromium pollution in this area has caused a major health hazard affecting 2,600,000 people in this area (Blacksmith Institute report, 2007). Our investigation involved biological treatment of Cr (VI) without producing any byproduct. Bacterial cultures tolerating high concentrations of chromium were isolated from the soil sample collected from the chromite contaminated sites of
Sukinda chromite mines and their bioaccumulation properties are investigated. Strains capable of growing at 300 mg/l of Cr (VI) are considered as chromium resistant. The mentioned stain was capable of resisting Cr (VI) up to 500 mg/l. Its resistance to different metals such as Ni, Zn, Cu,
Cd and Fe were also investigated. The effects of different operating parameters such as initial pH, temperature and initial Cr (VI) concentrations on bioaccumulation of Cr (VI) by enriched cultures were studied in a batch system. The experimental investigation showed the maximum
specific chromium uptake at pH 7 and temperature 300C. With increasing initial Cr (VI)concentration from 5 mg/l to 50 mg/l showed increase in Cr (VI) uptake. At about 50 mg l−1
initial Cr (VI) concentrations, uptake of the selected potential strain exceeded 98% within 12 hours of incubation. The bacterial isolate is identified by 16S rRNA sequencing as Brevebacterium casei. Data indicated that isolate culture can be utilized to improve efficiency of
biological treatment processes for effluents containing higher levels of Cr (VI).

Leather industry contributes to one of the major industrial pollution problems our country is facing today. Microbes (bacteria/fungi) are the most important eco-friendly agents for the degradation and detoxification of industrial pollutants along with organic waste removal. Extensive research has been carried out to find suitable, resistant and efficient microbes to treat the tannery effluent. In the concerned study, we have tried to isolate the organisms from the tannary effluent acclimatized them to increasing Chromium and Sulphate rich environment which may later be utilized towards bioremediation of both the pollutants. In this direction, bacteria resisting 240mg/l Cr and 280mg/l and others with 170mg/l Cr and 200mg/l sulphates have been obtained and tested for growth rates and Cr removal capacity. A maximum of 99.8% Cr removal have been achieved in four days of submerged culture by Micrococcus yunnanensis. The consortium of Pseudomonas aeruginosa & Micrococcus yunnanensis microbes is found to be best performing interms of biomass growth and removal of Cr than the individual isolate. These two microbes also remediated about 24% sulphate from the culture. The optimal parameters for treatment process were pH 7, temperature 35oC, rpm 100 and Cr concentration 150 mg/l. Laboratory scale fermenter study maintaining the optimized parameters showed 97.5 % removal of Cr in just 48 hours and the highest of which is 98% achieved in 56 hours. In a second step, the effluent was treated by a consortium of SRBs (Desulfovibrio desulfuricans, D. vulgaris and D. gigas) that utilize Cr(VI) as an electron acceptor for sulphate reduction and hence both Cr(VI) and sulphates get removed from the broth. From the initial concentrations of 150mg/l and 200 mg/l of Cr(VI) and sulphate in the simulated wastewater, it was brought down to 0.1 mg/l and 70.2 mg/l for Cr and sulphate respectively. Hence in a two stage biological treatment process for tannery waste, an excellent 99.9% Chromium and 63.9 % sulphate removal was achieved.

Ni (II) has been designated as a priority pollutant by the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) due to its ability to cause mutations and cancer in humans. The risk
associated with soil and groundwater contamination of nickel waste generated by many industries is high, and therefore Ni (II) remediation is of critical importance. It is discharged into the environment through the disposal of wastes from industries like Electroplating industry, metallurgical and metal finishing, textiles and ceramics, pigment and wood preservatives, photographic sensitizer manufacturing, etc. In the environment nickel occurs in divalent and tetravalent forms. Comparative to tetravalent, divalent nickel is more hazardous to the environment. Electroplating industry which commonly use nickel metal for plating process, discharges the effluents into the environment containing Nickel in excess of the maximum permissible limits. According to W .H.O. standards the permissible limits for nickel in effluent is 3mg/l and in drinking water is 0.02 mg/l. Staphylococcus sp. has polyphosphate in its cell, which is responsible for sequestering nickel. Using chemical and biological methods conjointly can decrease the cost of remediating contaminated sites. Microbial reduction of Ni(II), an important aspect of biological remediation, requires the knowledge of microorganisms capable of reducing Ni(II) and the mechanisms involved in the reduction processes.

Pollutants have adverse effect on environment and public health. From all the above pollutants given phenol is most toxic organic compound present in environment as pollutant. EPA (1998) has declared that 11th out of 126 toxic chemicals is phenol. All the processes available for phenol degradation are not economically viable hence biodegradation is recommended since it is pollution free and also economically viable. In the below study three microorganism isolated from soil were compared for phenol degradation. The comparison was done on basis of percentage of phenol degraded, optimum temperature, optimum media PH and the inoculum age and volume. From the comparative study the best microorganism strain was found out to be PR3. This microorganism was found to be degrading maximum phenol of 76% and at temp of about 30oC and pH of around 7 with inoculum age between 20-24 hours. After characterisation this microorganism was found to be staphylococcus lentus.

The present study was conducted to isolate microorganisms capable of degrading phenol found in soil sample. The microorganisms were isolated from soil contaminated with phenol using enrichment technique and the isolates obtained from different soil samples were grown in nutrient broth, nutrient agar plates and mineral salt media. Mineral salt media was used for the degradation of phenol. The efficiency and resistivity of this biomass was checked for different concentrations of phenol with maximum of 1500 ppm. Three different microbes were identified and isolated which could resist this high concentration of phenol. The different characterization tests were performed on these three microorganisms. The ability of these microorganisms to degrade phenol at different pH was also observed. These microbes were also examined for their degrade ability by revealing them to different temperatures. The characterization tests and degradation study could give an identified microorganism able to degrade phenol. Outcome of this study offer a useful guideline in evaluating potential phenol degraders from the environment.

Full textAbstract:
Metal Organic frameworks have shown promises in adsorption, gas separation, gas storage, catalysis, drug delivery and sensing. MOFs have shown potential as heterogenous catalysts as well. Their high surface area, tunable porosity, diversity in metal and functional groups, pore volume and active metal sites make them attractive proposition to be used as catalysts. Heterogeneous photocatalysis is a one of the a most attractive technologies for the degradation of organic substances present in wastewater. Literature reports conclude MIL-125(Titanium based MOF) has a great potential in photocatalysis. In our present area of research, we report a novel rapid synthesis procedure of MIL-125. Detailed characterizations were carried out using various techniques like SEM, PXRD,TGA,BET surface area analysis, FTIR and UV reflectance study. A detailed aqueous phase stability study followed which showed its stability under various pH conditions. The specific surface area of approx. 371 m2/g showed the porous nature of the synthesized samples whereas the corresponding band gap energy value was found to be 3.18 eV. Ammonia degradation study was carried out using MIL-125 and the results were found to be consistent. The final degradation of ammonia was found to be approx. 70% and the experimental data were best fit pseudo first order kinetic a model where the a rate constant was a found to a be 0.03189. Two more variants of MIL-125 were synthesized viz. Fe doped and MIL-125 Solvothermal. Both the products were found to be porous with an experimental measured surface areas of 246 m2/g and 240m2/g, respectively. The corresponding band a gapa energy were 3.4 eV and a 3.2 eV. These preliminary evaluation shows the potential of both the samples and further investigation are necessary to find their effectiveness.
