A 32kHz crystal oscillator leveraging voltage scaling in an ultra-low power 40nA real-time clock

Maher Kayal, Luca Rossi, François Krummenacher, Mathieu Yves Hervé Coustans

In this paper, an ultra-low power consumption crystal oscillator embedded in an RTC module (ASIC and its crystal resonator) is presented. The technique leverages oscillation amplitude and loads capacitance scaling; it incorporates transistor level merging ...

Assessment of hydropower potential in wastewater systems and application to Switzerland

Anton Schleiss, Luca Rossi, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Irene Almeida Samora, Philippe Heller

Energy recovery through local hydropower generation is a way of coping with high electricity expenditures in wastewater systems (WWS). Installing small hydropower plants within WWS is already in some countries eligible for incentive policy mechanisms to re ...

A review of the fate of micropollutants in wastewater treatment plants

David Andrew Barry, Christof Holliger, Luca Rossi, Jonas Margot

Municipal wastewaters are contaminated by a wide range of chemicals, from surfactants to heavy metals, including pharmaceutical residues, personal care products, various household chemicals, and biocides/pesticides. Their release into the environment, wher ...

Non-contact assessment of COD and turbidity concentrations in water using diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectroscopy

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Oliver Akermann, Jon Skirnir Agustsson

Water contamination is an important environmental concern underlining the need for reliable real-time information on contaminant concentrations in natural waters. Here, a new non-contact UV-Vis spectroscopic approach for monitoring contaminants in water, a ...

Dynamics and environmental risk assessment of the herbicide glyphosate and its metabolite AMPA in a small vineyard river of the Lake Geneva catchment

Luca Rossi, Pierre-Jean Copin

The use of pesticides may lead to environmental problems, such as surface water pollution, with a risk for aquatic organisms. In the present study, a typical vineyard river of western Switzerland was first monitored to measure discharged loads, identify so ...

Influence of treatment conditions on the oxidation of micropollutants by Trametes versicolor laccase

David Andrew Barry, Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Luca Rossi, Jonas Margot

Many organic compounds present at low concentrations in municipal wastewater, such as various pharmaceuticals and biocides, are recalcitrant in conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). To improve their biodegradation, oxidoreductase enzymes such a ...

Sediment contamination assessment in urban areas based on total suspended solids

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Jonas Margot, Nathalie Chèvre Rossi, Romuald Curdy

Sediment represents an important compartment in surface waters. It constitutes a habitat or spawning site for many organisms and is an essential trophic resource for higher level organisms. It can be impacted by anthropogenic activities, particularly throu ...

Substance flow analysis as a tool for mitigating the impact of pharmaceuticals on the aquatic system

Luca Rossi, Sylvain Coutu, Jonas Margot, Htet Kyi Wynn

Pharmaceuticals constitute an important environmental issue for receiving waters. A holistic approach, taking into consideration the sources of these compounds (hospitals, domestic use), discharges (wastewater effluent, combined sewer overflows) and relate ...

Temporal dynamics of antibiotics in wastewater treatment plant influent

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Sylvain Coutu, Htet Kyi Wynn, Vera Wyrsch

A yearlong field experimental campaign was conducted to reveal time scales over which antibiotic fluxes vary in the influent of a wastewater treatment plant (WTP). In particular, sampling was carried out to ascertain the amplitudes of monthly, daily and ho ...

Enhancement of micropollutant degradation at the outlet of small wastewater treatment plants

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Alessandro Brovelli, Jonas Margot, Pierre Claude Jean Queloz

The aim of this work was to evaluate low-cost and easy-to-operate engineering solutions that can be added as a polishing step to small wastewater treatment plants to reduce the micropollutant load to water bodies. The proposed design combines a sand filter ...
