ABSTRACT Basic understanding of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) processes has mainly been obtained in laboratory-scale studies with simple synthetic wastewaters. Two approaches were applied here to make a step toward the comprehension of AGS systems treating ...
As strategies in sustainability permeate modern engineering approaches, opportunities to re-engineer our water and sanitation systems in ways that simultaneously address human and ecological needs become apparent. Yet uncertainties remain regarding the hum ...
Production of secondary aluminium (Al) currently represents about 70% of total European Al production with a still rising trend and about 50% European final Al demand. The utilization of anthropogenic Al resources as secondary raw materials is therefore a ...
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 ...
The reclamation, treatment and reuse of municipal wastewater can provide important environmental benefits. In this paper, 25 studies on this topic were reviewed and it was found that there are many (> 150) different drivers acting for and against wastewate ...
Processes industries consume large amounts of natural resources and generate large amounts of waste/emissions into the environment. Consequently, important issues and challenges within the process industries are rational use of raw materials, water and ene ...
Thousands of organic micropollutants and their transformation products occur in water. Although often present at low concentrations, individual compounds contribute to mixture effects. Cell-based bioassays that target health-relevant biological endpoints m ...
Wastewater reuse in agriculture is a widespread practice in developing countries, especially in urban areas where water shortage and poverty encourage people to use that marginal resource. Raw or treated wastewaters are used by farmers, but even treated wa ...
UV/H2O2 processes can be applied to improve the quality of effluents from municipal wastewater treatment plants by attenuating trace organic contaminants (micropollutants). This study presents a kinetic model based on UV photolysis parameters, including UV ...
The photo-Fenton process is a promising emerging technology for the treatment of contaminated water streams. It is based on the generation of reactive oxygen species that are capable of destroying recalcitrant contaminants otherwise unaffected by conventio ...
