Laboratory based studies on the biopotential of pongamia glabra bark powder in phytoremediation of tannery effluent

The study aims to investigate the ability of biological treatment of raw tannery effluent by using Pongamia glabra bark powder to decolourize tannery wastewater contaminants in terms of heavy metal removal capacity and efficiency and to check their ability to decolorize and to degrade the toxic chemical components of the tannery effluent at various concentration and pH. This study will undoubtedly provide a clearer understanding of the current state, challenges and probable solutions for bioremediation process of tannery wastewater using phytomaterials for a greener and cleaner environmental clean up.
