A Study on the Future of Industrial WastewaterTreatment Plant: Trends and Innovations

By Kazi Kutubuddin Sayyad Liyakat, Heena T. Shaikhbn, and Pathan M. Ibrahim

Abstract:  Industrial wastewater treatment plants (IWWTPs) stand at the critical intersection of economic productivity and environmental sustainability. Unlike municipal sources, industrial effluent is characterized by extreme heterogeneity, containing highly variable concentrations of toxic heavy metals, recalcitrant organic compounds, suspended solids, and emerging contaminants. This complexity necessitates bespoke, multistage treatment trains, often combining physical, chemical, and advanced…

Biostimulation of Petroleum Hydrocarbon ContaminatedSoils Using Bryophylum Pinnatum Extracts

By Ozioko Fabian Chidiebere, Okirie Faith Uchendu, and Aghogho Uwanogho

Abstract:  This study investigates the remediation potential of Bryophylum pinnatum extracts (water and ethanol-based) for degrading total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in loamy and clay soils. Crude oil contaminants used in the study exhibited a pH of 6.76, density of 0.878 g/mL at 15 °C, kinematic viscosity of 147.4 mm²/s at 40 °C, and a flash point…

Evaluation of Michaelis-Menten Constants of TPH Degradation on Clay Soil

By Ekperi Nelson Ibezim, Joseph Gana, and Okirie Faith Uchendu

Abstract:  The degradation of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) in petroleum-contaminated clay soil remains a major environmental concern, particularly in regions with limited remediation options. This study investigates the enzymatic kinetics of TPH biodegradation using Michaelis-Menten modeling in the presence of Bryophyllum pinnatum leaf extracts as biostimulants. Fourteen bioreactors containing 2000g of contaminated clay soil were prepared…

Tall Oil: Production, Applications, Global Market, andFuture Prospects- A Review

By Sandeep Rai

Abstract:  The global energy demand is experiencing rapid growth due to overpopulation and massive industrialization worldwide. The stringent environmental regulations to minimize fossil fuel reliance have led to a global need to develop renewable and sustainable fuel sources. Hence, industries are increasingly looking towards non-edible oils as natural resources for biofuels, and one such promising feedstock…
