The tannery effluent from the leather industry generates indiscriminate removal of organic and inorganic substances along with the discharge of suspended or gas-solids oil and grease, nitrogen-containing compounds, and heavy metals either alone or in their reduced salt form. Spirogyra SPFS2-g isolated from tannery effluent-enriched soil exhibited detoxification of tannery wastewater. The treatment of tannery wastewater with Spirogyra resulted in the reduction of COD, Cr(VI), total suspended solids (TSS), turbidity, Na+, Cl–, and NO3– in the order of 71.80, 100, 36.47, 22.77, 11.69, 27.87 and 62.33%, respectively after 21days of duration. As the bioremediation activity is highly regulated by cell metabolism, which in turn is controlled by media components such as carbon and nitrogen sources and their ratio in addition to other process parameters like pH, incubation temperature and aeration. Thus, in a future, there is a need to conduct process parameter optimization studies to improve the bioremediation efficiency of the isolate. It was recommended that Tannery effluents should be treated with biological methods before discharging to the environment or water bodies because, high salinity can primarily decrease the rate of enzymatic activity of non-halophilic and non-halotolerant organisms, thereby affecting the ecosystem, since salinity can cause dehydration to potential microbes that are not halophilic and halotolerant, wither crops leaves and also affect human health. The industries should employ the use of halophilic microbes in the biological remediation of salinity rather than the use of chemicals which are carcinogenic in nature and can cause other health effects on humans....Preview Download Preview +Other Civil Engineering project topics and materials you might be interested in»Comparing the compressive strength of concrete made with sand as fine aggregate and with chipping dust as fine aggregate»The comparative study of the compressive strength of concrete made with granite to that made with river round stone (pebble) and local stone»The use of computer in civil engineering»Importance of timber in civil engineering construction»Construction and Installation of a Panel Door»Construction of wardrobe key study on wood work»Effect of street trading on traffic performance and control»Assessment of different types of foundation and their mode of construction»Comparison of soil bearing capacity of different locations in Imo state»Investigation into the suitability of sand and gravel materials commonly used in building construction»Investigating the effect of partial replacement of cement with eggshell powder in concrete production»An investigation in to the causes of cracks in building and possible solutions - a case study of Kukar Gesa community in Katsina metropolis»Suitability of available laterite material in Ilorin East local government area for road construction»Determination of the causes, effects of environmental pollution and its possible control within Kwara and Osun state»Model for prediction of rainfall intensity in Lagos
