Biodegradation Effects of Crude Oil-Polluted Water Using Bacteria Isolates From Sunflower Husk on Fish Growth: Parametric Optimization Using Taguchi Approach
Abstract:Bacteria isolates from sunflower husk were applied for bioremediation of crude oil-contaminated water.Fish weight was monitored in bioremediated water by gravimetric method. Taguchi design matrix was employed for process parameters optimization, which include reaction temperature (20-60oC), inoculums concentration (20-100 CFU/mL), crude oil concentration (50-250 mL/L), reaction time (1-5 hrs), NH4Cl concentration (20-100 mg/L) and K3PO4 concentration (10-50 mg/L) for crude oil degradation and fish growth.
