Volume : I, Issue : IV, May - 2011 Treatability studies of tannery effluent by bacteria S.Saravana Babu Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The tanning industry was designated as “Red category” due to the high
pollution contributed by its solid and liquid wastes. It generates huge amount of
wastes that frequently accumulate in the environment and spoil the entire
environment. Tannin which is present in the effluent are soluble phenolic
compounds with high molecular weight ranging from 500 mg/l to 3000 mg/l and
can combine with proteins, cellulose, gelatin and pectin to form an insoluble
complex. Tannins inhibit the growth of micro organisms resist microbial attack and
are recalcitrant in the environment. The present study focused mainly on the
biological method of removal of tannin from the effluent which involved in the
bioremediation process. The microorganism such as bacteria, fungi and yeast are
selected to asses the biodegradation capacity of tannin. The treatability studies of
microbes are carried out to reduce the toxicity of the effluent. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : S.Saravana Babu, (2011). Treatability studies of tannery effluent by bacteria.
