Microbial degradation of petrochemical waste-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Petrochemical industry is one of the fastest growing industries. This industry has immense importance in the growth of economy and manufacture of large varieties of chemicals. The petrochemical industry is a hazardous group of industry generating hazardous waste containing organic and inorganic compounds. In spite of the present treatment process, the hazardous waste compounds are found untreated to the acceptable level and found discharged at soil-water environment resulting into the persistent organic-inorganic pollutant into the environment. The bioremediation will be the innovative techniques to remove the persistent pollutants in the environment.

Result

Petrochemical contaminated site was found to be a rich source of microbial consortium degrading polycyclic
