Disposal of black liquor waste water through high rate transpiration system using selected species of plants and mycorrhizal fungi

01 May 2004 10 Jul 2006
The main objectives are: (1) Utilization of effluent in greening wasteland due to microbial support. (2) Increase effluent use in minimum area under disposal. (3) Soil reclamation through microbial activity. (4) Use effluent waste water for plant irrigation in the given substrate that is better supportive to plant growth due to microbes. (5) Decrease effluent loading area through high consumption of effluent. (6) Reduce percolation of effluent into surrounding fields and wells due to less surface area loading by using the technology developed by TERI. (7) Use of mycorrhized high rate transpiration system (a TERI's value added technology) plant species.
