Project Objective:
Nitrate decontamination of waste water using immobilized microbial beads
Contact Email: rosnaik@gmail.com
Abstract:
Excessive nitrate concentration due to agriculture or industrial activity contaminates water bodies making them unfit for consumption. Currently available treatment options are limited in their capacity to remove nitrate and are expensive. We have identified bacteria involved in nitrate decontamination which were prepared in immobilized bead form to efficiently remove the nitrate contamination (60%) from fish waste effluent.
Project Outcome/result/findings:
60% efficiency in reducing nitrate in fish waste effluent.
Innovative Approach:
Immobilized microbial beads which are non-toxic and a low cost alternative for nitrate bioremediation
