Research Summary
Mitigation of Cr toxicity from tannery sludge with the help of aromatic plants. Effect of tannery sludge mediated soil on the soil enzymes like Urease, dehydrogenase, acid /alkaline phosphatase, β-glucosidase, catalase etc. Also, to evaluate the effect of tannery sludge on the antioxidant activity of aromatic plants including Tagetes, Pelargonium, Ocimum and Mentha and how the quality and quantity was affected by tannery sludge.
Preparation of different types of biochar and its utilisation for arsenic removal along with the improvement of soil properties with incorporation of biochar.
