“…Pseudomonas species are known to degrade industrial effluent. The result of the experiment reflected a similar phenomenon as after the treatment with pseudomonas, the BOD and COD levels of effluent decreased by 88.4 and 81.3%, respectively (Kumar 2009;Telke et al 2012). The untreated effluent had a higher-than-allowable organic load, as evidenced by elevated TS, TSS, and TDS.…”

Rubber processing generates a large volume of wastewater containing rubber latex residues and chemicals. Remediation of the wastewater needs a cost-effective and environment-friendly treatment method. For this study, Moringa oleifera stem bark and Pseudomonas sp. bacteria were used for adsorption and microbial treatment of the effluent. The adsorbent surface was mostly amorphous with crystallinity index 37.9 % and the BET surface area was 6.622 m2/g. FTIR analysis indicated involvement of O-H stretching, ketone α, β- unsaturated, C-H stretching, carboxylic acid and derivatives O-C stretching functional groups in the adsorption process. The assessment of the above two agents was based on their reduction capabilities of the toxic parameters, such as total suspended and dissolved solids, total solids, biological and chemical oxygen demand, sulphate, ammonium, dissolved oxygen, phosphate, pH, electrical conductivity, turbidity, and oxidation reduction potential from the wastewater. A comparative study of the present work revealed that both the agents were effective in reduction of most of the above parameters below the safe discharge limits. However, the adsorption using Moringa oleifera stem bark was better compare to the biodegradation by Pseudomonas sp. bacteria. The main challenges that typically accompany biodegradation include microbe handling and a lower removal percentage than adsorption.
