The chemical oxygen demand of unprocessed, spent metal working fluids, can be reduced to levels of 2000 mg l−1 by using a consortium of micro-organisms capable of growth in untreated semi-synthetic metal working fluids, wherein the consortium has at least four members which are selected from at least one each of Agrobacterium spp., Comamonas spp., Methylobacterium spp., and Microbacterium spp. |
