MICROBES IN THE DEGRADATION OF SOLID WASTE MOLASSES by Dr. Jai Shanker Pillai H P,Dr. Vijaya Bhaskar Reddy Mutha,Dr. Challaraj Emmanuel E.S.,Dr. Ravi Mohan Pdf

Molasses is usually a viscous product that is obtained by refining sugarcane or sugar beets into sugar. Molasses is a defining component of fine commercial brown sugar. The amount of sugar, method of extraction, and age of plant determines the variety of molasses. Sugarcane molasses has agreeable taste and aroma, which is used primarily for sweetening and flavoring of foods. The sugar beet molasses is unpalatable, foul-smelling and is used mainly as an animal feed additive. There are various forms of molasses which includes Sugar cane molasses, Sugar beet molasses, Blackstrap molasses and unsulphured molasses etc. Molasses is used for the production of variety of food products such as cookies, pies, gingerbread and also used as food additives for live stock feeds. Molasses is a main source for the production of yeast and citric acid as well. It also serves as a carbon source for most of the in situ bioremediation technologies. Molasses can serve as a stock for ethanol fermentation to produce an alternative fuel for motor vehicles. Molasses can also improve the microbial activity of the soil when used as a soil additive. According to the USDA nutrition table, molasses contains sucrose (29% of total carbohydrates), glucose (12%) and fructose (13%). Nutritionally molasses is composed of Water (22%), Carbohydrates (75%) and no protein or fat. A daily intake of 100 gram of molasses is a rich source of vitamin B6 (20% ≥ Daily Value [DV]) and several dietary minerals, including manganese, magnesium, iron, potassium, and calcium (table). The distillation of fermentor wash usually generates molasses spent wash. The molasses spent wash has high rates of BOD, COD, Suspended Solids and is usually highly acidic. Molasses wastewater in factories carrying out alcohol fermentation, bakers yeast fermentation and soon is usually treated by biological methods such as methane fermentation and activated sludge treatment. Almost all the BOD of molasses wastewater containing spent wash is removed by methane fermentation and activated sludge methods, but a lot of melonoidin, a dark brown molasses pigment remain as such. Melonoidin from in distillery waste is one of the sources of water pollution which leads to hazardous effect. The improper treatment and disposal of these waste molasses into natural water bodies may result in eutrophication. The removal of melanoidin from wastewater by effective practical methods is expected throughout the world. The utilization of microbial activity for the decolorization and mineralization of molasses spent wash has shown a promising approach to remediate the hazardous effects of the waste molasses in a benign way.

Advances in Solid and Hazardous Waste Management by Sudha Goel Pdf

This book presents reviews, examples and case studies of innovative applications in solid and hazardous waste management. The economics of waste management have since become a significant research area in their own right, and two chapters address these issues. In addition, dedicated chapters cover specific categories of waste such as biomedical and institutional waste, plastics and e-waste. The book subsequently discusses newer analytical methods like SEM, EDX, XRD and optical microscopy, along with selected “older” methods for sampling and characterizing different types of waste. The various applications of mathematical tools like linear optimization, various software/models like WISCLeach, and DRASTIC, and tools like remote sensing and GIS are illustrated in many of the chapters. Lastly, since composting is one of the most popular treatment methods for managing the organic component of municipal solid waste, the book provides an overview of composting and the fundamentals of microbiology that are essential to understanding waste-related biological processes. The book was primarily written for students and practitioners in the field who are already familiar with the basics. All chapters were prepared by practicing experts and scholars in the field, and are intended to help readers better understand and apply these principles and practices in their own endeavours. Key topics covered in the book: • The circular economy and the economics of solid waste management • Various remote sensing and GIS applications for managing municipal solid waste, coal fires in mines, changes in land use and land cover in industrial areas, etc. • Treatment and management of different types of solid waste: institutional (including biomedical), residential, e-waste, plastic, and ash from thermal power plants • Sampling and characterization of municipal waste and compost • Fundamentals of microbiology • Overview of environmental regulations, especially those pertaining to solid and hazardous waste management
