| Abstract: | Colour removal of pulp plant effluent was studied using white rot fungus, Trametes (Coriolus) versicolor. The batch experiments were carried out using fungus in the form of mycelial pellets. In the present investigation, the effect of pH, concentrations of glucose (substrate), initial effluent colour and ammonium chloride (nutrient) on colour removal efficiency were studied. It was found that the maximum colour removal efficiency of 82.5% was obtained with an optimal glucose and ammonium chloride concentrations of 15 g/l and 0.5 g/l respectively at a pH of 4.5 without diluting the effluent. |
