Sintering behavior of an ultrafine alumina powder shaped by pressure filtration and dry pressing

Mehdi Mazaheri

Master sintering curve (MSC) was used as a practical approach to analyse the sintering behavior of an ultrafine alumina powder. Non-isothermal sintering was carried out at three heating rates. The concept of the MSC has been used to investigate the effect ...

Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products (PPCPs) in Effluent Matrices: A Survey of Transformation and Removal during Wastewater Treatment and Implications for Wastewater Management

Tamar Kohn

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) represent pollutants of emerging concern, originating in surface and drinking waters largely from their persistence in wastewater effluent. Accordingly, a wealth of recent investigations has examined PPCP ...

Toe protection for spill-through and vertical-wall abutments

Anton Schleiss, António Heleno Cardoso

This study addresses the design of riprap aprons as a scour countermeasure near abutments under clear-water conditions. It deals with the lateral extent of riprap aprons and the geometry of the scour hole prevailing at the apron edge. The study applies to ...

MICROBIAL AND BIOMOLECULAR HETEROGENEITY OF AEROBIC GRANULES WITHIN A SINGLE BIOREACTOR ?

David Gregory Weissbrodt, Samuel Lochmatter

Aerobic granulation is considered as a promising alternative to conventional activated sludge in biological wastewater treatment. Instead of forming flocs the bacterial communities aggregate to dense granular biofilms. In the present study, granules were c ...

Elimination of Organic Micropollutants in a Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgraded with a Full-Scale Post-Ozonation Followed by Sand Filtration

Urs von Gunten, Juliane Hollender, Hansruedi Siegrist

The removal efficiency for 220 micropollutants was studied at the scale of a municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) upgraded with post-ozonation followed by sand filtration. During post-ozonation, compounds with activated aromatic moieties, amino func ...

Simultaneous E-coli inactivation and NOM degradation in river water via photo-Fenton process at natural pH in solar CPC reactor. A new way for enhancing solar disinfection of natural water

César Pulgarin

Bacteria inactivation and natural organic matter oxidation in river water was simultaneously conducted via photo-Fenton reaction at "natural" pH (similar to 6.5) containing 0.6 mg L-1 of Fe3+ and 10 mg L-1 of H2O2. The experiments were carried out by using ...

Ferrate (Fe(VI)) Application for Municipal Wastewater Treatment: A Novel Process for Simultaneous Micropollutant Oxidation and Phosphate Removal

Urs von Gunten, Yun Ho Lee

A novel technology for enhanced municipal wasterwater treatment was assessed based on the dual functions of Fe(VI) to oxidize micropollutants and remove phosphate by formation of ferric phosphates. Second-order rate constants (k) for the reactions of selec ...

Immobilization of rapeseed press-cake in an alginate matrix for the sorption of atrazine

Urs von Stockar, Ian William Marison, Véronique Breguet, Julien Boucher

Due to residual oil retained within it, rapeseed press-cake has been shown to be effective for the removal of atrazine from water through an absorption mechanism. However, it is difficult to put this into practice due to the hygroscopic nature of the press ...

Sol-gel processes applied to micro- and nanotechnology

Jean-Baptiste Robert Orhan

In this thesis, we intend to develop the sol-gel technology (a chemical way to make glass) from the traditional "raw" materials side to a novel technology allowing realization of innovative products in the field of micro- and nanotechnology. We first prese ...
