Stepwise Reduction of Dinitrogen by a Uranium-Potassium Complex Yielding a U(VI)/U(IV) Tetranitride Cluster

Marinella Mazzanti, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Ivica Zivkovic, Luciano Barluzzi, Nadir Jori

Multimetallic cooperativity is believed to play a key role in the cleavage of dinitrogen to nitrides (N3-), but the mechanism remains ambiguous due to the lack of isolated intermediates. Herein, we report the reduction of the complex [K-2{[U-V(OSi((OBu)-Bu ...

Nitrate removal and young stream water fractions at the catchment scale

Paolo Benettin, Li Li

Despite extensive research on nitrate export and removal, nutrient contamination remains a major threat to water bodies worldwide. At the local scale, nitrate removal is governed by biogeochemical conditions that vary in space and time, making integration ...

Response of N2O production rate to ocean acidification in the western North Pacific

Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider

Ocean acidification, induced by the increase in anthropogenic CO2 emissions, has a profound impact on marine organisms and biogeochemical processes1. The response of marine microbial activities to ocean acidification might play a crucial role in the future ...

Macroinvertebrate community traits and nitrate removal in stream sediments

Tom Ian Battin

In-stream nitrate removal capacity may be used as a proxy for the ecosystem service of water quality regulation. It is well known that this natural function is driven by abiotic and biotic factors in running water environments. With regard to biotic dri ...

Reaction extents: A Divide-and-Conquer Approach for Kinetic Model Identification

Dominique Bonvin, Julien Léo Billeter

Obtaining reliable wastewater treatment process models is critical for the application of model-based design, operation, and automation. For example, Masic et al. (2014) explored the use of an observer designed for nonlinear processes to estimate nitrite i ...

Nitrification increases nitrogen export from a tropical river network

Janine Rüegg

Scaling aquatic ecosystem processes like nutrient removal is critical for assessing the importance of streams and rivers to watershed nutrient export. We used pulse NH4+ enrichment experiments and measured net NH4+ uptake in 7 streams throughout a mountain ...

Mechanisms and modeling of pathogen fate in pilot scale nutrient recovery reactors

Loïc Decrey, Simon Schindelholz, Manfred Schoger, Ariane Schertenleib, Timothy R. Julian

Due to its high nutrient content, source-separated urine can be processed into marketable liquid or solid fertilizers. The Valorisation of Urine Nutrients in Africa (VUNA) project developed and tested pilot-scale nitrification/distillation and struvite (Mg ...

Role of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in micropollutant removal from wastewater with aerobic granular sludge

David Andrew Barry, Christof Holliger, Jonas Margot, Samuel Lochmatter

Nitrifying wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are more efficient than non-nitrifying WWTPs to remove several micropollutants such as pharmaceuticals and pesticides. This may be related to the activity of nitrifying organisms, such as ammonia-oxidizing bac ...

Inactivation of pathogens in urine nitrification reactors

Ariane Schertenleib

Through nutrient recovery by urine separation, the VUNA project aims to develop an effective sanitation system that simultaneously helps address important issues such as environmental pollution and water scarcity. Refinement of the nutrient recovery proces ...

Wastewater treatment processes modelling for anaerobic digestion effluents

Miriel Steudler

The general topic of this research project is the modelling of wastewater treatment processes for anaerobic digestion effluents, which are characterized by high nitrogen concentrations. In order to avoid eutrophication of lakes and rivers caused by nutrien ...
