| dc.description.abstract | In the field of microbial treatment technology, bio-carriers are important components. Fiber-based
bacterial carriers are superior to other types in many ways, including more specific surface area,
improved structural designability, and improved service performance in challenging settings
thanks to polypropylene (PP) fibers. Biocarriers are solids that allow the good attachment of
microbes during wastewater treatment, such carrier system not having a good carrying property
but also used as acid-leaching agent, effective porosity agent, good solubilizer and advance
foaming agent. This carrier system provides an enclosing system for carrying a treatment material
made up of different material like Polypropylene, Chitosan, Polyproline, Polypyrolidine, Cellulose
derivatives etc. In this study, a modification was used to give Polypropylene fibers a positive
charged film by coating chitosan, which increased the quantity of bacteria loaded. Compared to
other fibers, the modified PP (MPP) fibers demonstrated improved bio-affinity. Bacteria were ten
times more likely to be stuck to MPP than on PP, and alteration gave PP fibers chelating cation
function. MPP might undoubtedly make a suitable candidate for a bio-carrier. | en_US |
