Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for the preparation of stable and reusable biosensing granules useful for assessing the biotreatability of effluents.
- biosensing granules will help in rapid characterisation of any effluent at on-site.
- the invented biosensing granules are - reusable for several times and involve less manpower.
- these biosensing granules are ecofriendly in nature, cost-effective and do not require any chemical or energy input and are hence easy to operate at field conditions.
- the byproduct liquid streams from various industries contain different environmentally undesirable chemical compounds that adversely affect water bodies and groundwater reservoirs.
- the reduction of organic pollutants to environmentally acceptable limits is essential before discharging these effluents into the environment. This requires a prerequisite of measurement of organic content in these discharges, which help in estimation of pollutant strength, design of treatment methodology and disposable alternative, etc.
- the biodegradable organic strength in an effluent can be determined by calculating the ratio of biological oxygen demand (BOD) to chemical oxygen demand (COD).
- BOD biological oxygen demand
- COD chemical oxygen demand
- Effluent treatment options can be generally divided into the following categories physical, chemical, biological and thermal.
- biological treatment processes possess an edge over the others due to its potential to degrade the organic pollutants into simple and environmentally safe compounds such as methane, carbon dioxide and water that are eco-friendly in nature.
- Biotreatment of an effluent can be done by inoculation of appropriate microbial consortia and incubating either in anaerobic or aerobic conditions. Under aerobic conditions, microbial consorts present in the system utilise the oxygen and organic compounds of effluent for energy generation. The pollution concentration can be assessed by calculating the microbial activity in waste water. Thus, microbial activity in terms of respiration is an important indication to characterise the effluents under different biotreatability classes.
- Biochemical oxygen demand is basically a bioassay procedure involving the estimation of oxygen consumed in a simulated system under standard prescribed conditions.
- BOD is performed in a BOD bottle of 300 ml capacity at 20°C for 5 days by taking suitable aliquots of effluents in the presence of seed, either from raw sewage or treated effluent from waste water treatment plant and nutrients.
- the long time taken for analysis, undependable simulated experimental conditions, and the toxic nature of effluents offsets its application.
- COD comes into existence where organic matter in the effluent was oxidised by a strong oxidising agent at elevated temperature under acidic environment. This test requires approximately 3 hours for analysis and is not dependant on biological environment.

- the active aerobic microbial consortia is separated from the broth using conventional methods selected from centrifugation, settling, decanting the supernatant.
- the separated active aerobic microbial consortia is immobilized using 1 - 3 % (w/v) sodium alginate and 0.2M calcium chloride solution.
- the active aerobic microbial consortia is used for immobilisation in the range of 3 - 5 % (w/v) to obtain immobilized biosensing granules.
- the prepared immobilised biosensing granules are incubated for 12 - 24 hours at 4°C in 0.2 M calcium chloride solution.
- the prepared immobilised biosensing granules are separated from the calcium chloride solution by decanting the aqueous liquid.
- the immobilised biosensing granules are dehydrated at 24 - 32°C for a period of 2 - 20 hours to obtain stable biosensing granules with 5 - 30% moisture content.
- the stable biosensing granules are incubated for 2 - 10 hours in 2 - 5 % (w/v) glucose solution, at 24 - 32°C to obtain active stable biosensing granules.
- the stable biosensing granules are separated from the activation media by draining out the solution.
- the residual dissolved oxygen content of the effluent is measured using oxygen probe before and 2 - 6 hours of addition of activation stable biosensing granules in the range of from 2 - 5% (w/v).
- the present invention also relates to a method for the estimation of the biotreatability of an effluent using the biosensing granules of claim 1 wherein the effluent is characterized as highly biotreatable if the dissolved oxygen consumption rate by the activated biosensing granules is more than 2 mg/1, medium when the siad oxygen consumption rate is between 1.0 to 2.0 mg/1, and low when the oxygen consumption rate is less than 1.0 mg/1.
- biosensing granules of the invention are mechanically strong and biologically active and can be employed in assessing the biodegradability of the effluent within 2 - 4 hours at a temperature in the range of from 24 - 32°C without involving BOD instrumentation or COD analysis.
