Major R&D Projects:
Thesis: Microbial Degradation of Organo-Phosphorus Pesticide Waste
The work involved the development of a biological method for the detoxification of a
pesticide intermediate sludge, generated during the manufacture of O, O – diethyl thio
phosphoryl chloride (DTCI). DTCI is used in the synthesis of Quinolphos, Diazinon, Dursban
and Dyfonate. Disposal of this highly acidic/ toxic material creates environmental pollution if

9. left untreated. A microbial system was developed for the degradation of this highly toxic
compound. The microbial treatment study clearly brought out that DTCI sludge which is
highly toxic, could be effectively detoxified and safely disposed off as landfillers without any
environmental hazard
· Microbial Degradation of Lignin
Bio degradation of Lignin is a very important renewable source of aromatic carbon and
breaking the lignified tissue through microorganisms is challenging by itself. A mixed
consortium of bacterial culture was developed and used to study the bioconversion of
matchstick wastes to rich organic manure
· Removal of Organic Load from a Mixed Effluent with Monocultures and Mixed Cultures
The effluent from one of the industries, involved in manufacture of Agro Chemicals, had
intermediate products having cumidine, permethric acid, cypermethric acid, 2
chlorobenzene and by products like Dimethyl urea and O – Nitrocumene. Primary treated
composite effluent stream on treatment with mixed bacterial cultures showed about 62 to
66% drop in BOD and about 43 to 56% drop in COD
· Removal of Lignin as a pre-treatment of Bagasse before Pulping
Cellulose fibres are the most important raw material used in the manufacture of paper.
Cellulose in trees is encrusted with lignin which must be removed. The unwanted lignin in
the wood adds to the operational cost and also disposal problem. The microbially treated
bagasse showed a 70% drop in Kalson’s lignin. The pre-treatment process has a great
advantage of bringing down the cost of pulp production
· Removal of free Formaldehyde
Free formaldehyde is generated in the effluent during the manufacture of phenol-
formaldehyde resins. If left untreated in effluent, free formaldehyde could lead to ecological
imbalance; using the property of certain autotrophic bacteria to metabolize free
formaldehyde, a microbial system was developed to treat the effluent that reduced the
presence of free fromaldehye by 85% with the use of this microbial system
· Microbial Treatment of MBT – Tar
Mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) is an important Rubber chemical, it is a polymeric waste,
insoluble in water, generated during the manufacture of mercaptobenzothiazole. The only
method for disposing it so far has been the expensive incineration; with the use of microbial
system a biotreatment method was developed that
could be bio – converted to free flowing material, soluble in water, thus making disposal
easier
· Biosorption of Metal
The property of microbes to absorb metals from solution was exploited and a system was
developed wherein about 90% reduction in the concentration of metal ions in the solution
was achieved.
In case of chromium, the hexavalent chromium was further converted to the non-toxic
trivalent chromium with the use of selective microbes
