Implementation of a constructed wetland for the sustainable treatment of inland shrimp farming water
Pierre Rossi, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Vincent Jean Jacques Marie Cochevelou
In the Mekong delta, inland-based shrimp breeding requires significant inflow of high-quality freshwater. In turn, discharge of substantial loads of poor-quality effluents negatively impacts adjacent water bodies and favors disease outbreaks. This project ...
2020Kinetic model basis of ozone/light-based advanced oxidation processes: a pseudoempirical approach
Most works on AOP technologies aimed at removing contaminants from water have focused on the influence of experimental variables on the overall removal rate of specific target contaminants. Few studies have been devoted to proposing detailed kinetic models ...
2020Enhancing MOF performance through the introduction of polymer guests
Wendy Lee Queen, Jordi Espin Marti, Daniel Teav Sun, Shuliang Yang, Li Peng, Mehrdad Asgari, Olga Trukhina, Ilia Kochetygov, Vikram Vinayak Karve, Anita Justin
In this contribution, recent advances in the construction of MOF-polymer composites and their corresponding applications are briefly reviewed. The appearance of such architectures is becoming prominent in recent literature, due to the fact that the union o ...
2020A Tale of Two Treatments: The Multiple Barrier Approach to Removing Chemical Contaminants During Potable Water Reuse
In response to water scarcity and an increased recognition of the risks associated with the presence of chemical contaminants, environmental engineers have developed advanced water treatment systems that are capable of converting municipal wastewater efflu ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2019Implementation of a constructed wetland for the sustainable treatment of water in shrimp farming activities, Mekong delta, Vietnam
Pierre Rossi, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Vincent Jean Jacques Marie Cochevelou
In the Mekong delta, inland-based shrimp breeding is a profitable activity requiring significant inflow of high quality freshwater. In turn, discharge of substantial loads of poor quality effluents causes salinization and eutrophication of adjacent water b ...
2019Comparing the anti-bacterial performance of chlorination and electrolysis post-treatments in a hand washing water recycling system
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 ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV2019Evaluation of a full-scale wastewater treatment plant upgraded with ozonation and biological post-treatments: Abatement of micropollutants, formation of transformation products and oxidation by-products
Urs von Gunten, Hansruedi Siegrist
To protect the ecosystem and drinking water resources in Switzerland and in the countries of the downstream catchments, a new Swiss water protection act entered into force in 2016 aiming to reduce the discharge of micropollutants from wastewater treatment ...
2018Oxidation Processes in Water Treatment: Are We on Track?
Chemical oxidants have been applied in water treatment for more than a century, first as disinfectants and later to abate inorganic and organic contaminants. The challenge of oxidative abatement of organic micropollutants is the formation of transformation ...
2018Behavior of NDMA precursors at 21 full-scale water treatment facilities
A source-to-tap evaluation of the origin and fate of chloramination N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) precursors at 21 full-scale drinking water plants was conducted. Upstream wastewater discharges accounted for (on a median basis) similar to 16 ng L-1 NDMA fo ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2018Specific and total N -nitrosamines formation potentials of nitrogenous micropollutants during chloramination
Urs von Gunten, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Caroline Gachet Aquillon, Andrea Piazzoli
N-nitrosamines are a group of potent human carcinogens that can be formed during oxidative treatment of drinking water and wastewater. Many tertiary and quaternary amines present in consumer products (e.g., pharmaceuticals, personal care and household prod ...
