A comparitive study on immobilised mycelium and spores of p. chyrisosporium in pva-alginate-sulfate beads for textile dyes effluent treatment

Effluents discharging from the textile and dye industries to the neighbouring water are causing serious health concern to the environment and are getting attention of water regulatory agencies. Among the recent proposed treatment methods for treatment of textile effluents biological treatment has ga...

The responses namely colour and COD reduction, enzymatic activities, reusability, storage stability and toxicity were thoroughly investigated to determine the system efficiency.
