Basic understanding of formation of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) has mainly been derived from labscale systems with simple influents containing only highly diffusible volatile fatty acids (VFA) as organic substrate. This study compares start-up of AGS sys ...
Lee and colleagues “sought to determine whether the development of diastolic hypotension
during treatment was associated with adverse outcomes”.1 They used a conventional
proportional hazards model employing diastolic blood pressure as a time-varying expos ...
Selenium (mainly in the forms of selenite (Se(IV)) and selenate (Se(VI)) is a regulated drinking water contaminant, but there is little information on the kinetics and mechanisms of Se(IV) oxidation during water treatment. Species-specific and apparent sec ...
Enteroviruses are a leading cause in a diversity of severe human diseases worldwide and the presence of these viruses in recreational water can present a risk for human health. Viruses' capacity to persist in the outside environment is limited but some vir ...
There is a current unmet medical need for the treatment of antibiotic-resistant infections, and in the absence of approved alternatives, some clinicians are turning to empirical ones, such as phage therapy, for compassionate treatment. Phage therapy is ide ...
Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) is a promising alternative wastewater treatment to the conven-
tional activated sludge system, allowing space and energy savings. This process is particularly
suited for biological phosphorus removal, avoiding use of coagulant ...
Dye-sensitized photocatalytic suspension system for wastewater treatment is still limited in practice due to particle aggregation, fast charge carrier recombination, poor stability and recycling issue. In this study, we combine TiO2 nano-crystalline film w ...
Hydrothermal gasification (HTG) is a promising technology that allows the recovery of nutrients from wet biomass with simultaneous production of an energy-rich gas. In this work, wastewater effluent (leachate) obtained from a composter sanitary system oper ...
Aliphatic amines are common constituents in micropollutants and dissolved organic matter and present in elevated concentrations in wastewater-impacted source waters. Due to high reactivity, reactions of aliphatic amines with ozone are likely to occur durin ...
Innovative solutions are necessary to enable the decentralized recycling of greywater for applications requiring high-quality water, such as hand washing. While physical barriers such as ultrafiltration membranes effectively prevent the passage of bacteria ...
