The soil collected from the MSW disposal site was used as inoculum to study the decolorization without addition of any additives. The same inoculum was used over a period of 163 days at room temperature to study the decolorization of 12.5-50% (v/v) MSW using different operational conditions. The reactor was entered in to the inhibition mode after the feeding of 50% MSW, which was restored 100% without changing any operational condition. The maximum decolorization obtained for 12.5% (v/v) MSW was 77.22 +/- A 0.13%. The decolorization achieved for 25, 37.5, and 50% (v/v) MSW was 70.41 +/- A 0.12, 56.47 +/- A 0.17, and 48.78 +/- A 0.09%, respectively. Increase in the utilization of protein and reducing sugar was observed up to 25% MSW whereas, higher concentration showed decrease in the utilization. Results indicate 63% removal of chemical oxygen demand for 12.5% (v/v) MSW. Membrane flux which was significantly reduced after the feeding of 50% MSW was regenerated without changing the washing procedure, however, 35% decrease in sample flux was observed over the continuous use of membrane for the period of 198 days.</p>10aDecolorization10aMembrane flux10aMolasses spent wash10aSoil as inoculum10astirred vessel1 aAdikane, H., V.1 aDixit, J., N.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/effect-different-operational-conditions-decolorization-molasses-spent-wash-using-once-0
