Opis

A bidirectional approach of detoxifying the liquid and gaseous effluents of oil refinery is elucidated in this thesis. The first approach was the development of two different types of co-cultures for degradation of phenol and reduction of selenite ions, the second approach was to produce liquid biofuels.
