Study the activity of some Basidiomycetes in bioremediation of wastes water polluted by petroleum in Baji refineries/ Salah aldin. 2- Reduction of mineral Elements

Abstract

AbstractThe ability of some selected local Basidiomycetes fungi and their intraction on reduction of somw mineralsfound in waste water of North refinery company /Baji .The biosorbtion is the essential principles that depend onbiological treatment of petroleum wastes in water, the results showed a significant reduction in all fungitreatment in all studied mineral elements in all refinery stations. The maximum reduction ratio was49.8% ofVanadium by Pleurotus ostreatus, 96% of Cobalt by (Phellinus sp. × P. ostreatus), 86% of Nickel by Agrocybe.aegerita , 100% of copper by all fungi treatment except of P.ostreatus, 100% of frères by A. aegerita , 100% ofZenic by (P. ostreatus × A. aegerita) , 62.9% of Nitrate,78.8% of sulfate, 71% of phosphate by (Phellinus sp. ×A. aegerita).According to this results, the biological treatment using Basidiomycetes macrofungi regard apromise method for mineral reduction from the polluted water.
