Bioremediation of Synthetic Prepared Domestic Wastewater with P. chrysosporium

In this study, the removal efficiencies were evaluated based on key environmental parameters such as chemical oxygen demand (COD), Total Organic Carbon (TOC), Total Nitrogen (TN), and Total Phosphorus (TP), using P. chrysosporium white rot fungus to treat synthetically prepared domestic wastewater. The research aimed to assess the suitability of bioremediation results with respect to the Urban Wastewater Treatment Regulation. The experiment was carried out over a span of 11th days, employing static 1/1 and 1/5, as well as dynamic 1/1 and 1/5 dilution ratios. The outcomes revealed varying removal efficiencies, with the highest rates observed at dynamic conditions and a 1/5 dilution ratio: 84% for COD, 81% for TOC, 73% for TN, and 56% for TP. Conversely, the lowest removal efficiencies were determined under static 1/1 conditions, reaching 48% for COD, 33% for TOC, 31% for TN, and 45% for TP. Based on the results, it is evident that P. chrysosporium exhibited effective bioremediation capabilities on synthetic domestic wastewater within a reasonable 11th day period. Furthermore, the results aligned with the specified limit values outlined in the Urban Wastewater Treatment Regulation. Consequently, the study highlights the efficacy of P. chrysosporium as a valuable species for biological treatment stages in urban wastewater management
