Development of biogranules using selected mix culture of decolourising bacteria for treatment of textile wastewater

Biological treatment of textile wastewater using granules involves the application of self-immobilisation of high density biomass under intermittent facultative anaerobic and aerobic system. Since granules are dense and have high settling velocity, high density of active biomass to be retained witho...
