Abstract

For investigating the Aspergillus niger performance in treating trash molasses emission from the sugar industry, Tamilnadu, South India. A.niger was chosen to treat the molasses emission according to the screen procedure. The emission has experimented to whole the physicochemical factors before the microbe insemination. After incubation, the physicochemical factors outcomes demonstrated a considerable reduction of factors like BOD 75 percent, and COD 65 percent in the emission treated by A.niger. According to the results, it is obvious that A.niger can be utilized for the molasses treatment. The mechanism understanding in this investigation might broadly utilized in bioremediation.
