Production of a bioflocculant from Aspergillus niger using palm oil mill effluent as carbon source
This study evaluated the potential of bioflocculant production from Aspergillus niger using palm oil mill effluent (POME) as carbon source. The bioflocculant named PM-5 produced by A. niger showed a good flocculating capability and flocculating rate of 76.8 to kaolin suspension could be achieved at...
