Characterisation of Hospital Wastewater: the Case of the CHUV

The aim of this study was to characterize hospital effluents in investigating the CHUV importance as source of pollutants, the range and amounts of pharmaceuticals that are used in the hospital and the need of source treatment of the hospital sewage. The C ...

Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products (PPCPs) in Effluent Matrices: A Survey of Transformation and Removal during Wastewater Treatment and Implications for Wastewater Management

Tamar Kohn

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) represent pollutants of emerging concern, originating in surface and drinking waters largely from their persistence in wastewater effluent. Accordingly, a wealth of recent investigations has examined PPCP ...

Synergies of different reputation systems: challenges and opportunities

Karl Aberer

Reputation is a well established means to determine trustworthiness in online systems in various contexts, e.g. online transactions, product recommendation, e-mail spam fighting, etc. However, typically these reputation systems are "closed" outside of the ...

Probabilistic observers for a class of uncertain biological processes

Benoît Chachuat, Olivier Bernard

In this paper, probabilistic observers are considered for a class of continuous biological processes described by mass-balance-based models. It is assumed that the probability density functions (PDFs) of the uncertain parameters and inputs of the model, as ...

An integrated system to remote monitor and control anaerobic wastewater treatment plants through the internet

Benoît Chachuat, Olivier Bernard, Andrea Franco, Pierre Lemaire, Gabriel Ruiz

The TELEMAC project brings new methodologies from the Information and Science Technologies field to the world of water treatment. TELEMAC offers an advanced remote management system which adapts to most of the anaerobic wastewater treatment plants that do ...

Exploiting Hyperlinks to Learn a Retrieval Model

Samy Bengio, David Grangier

Information Retrieval (IR) aims at solving a ranking problem: given a query

q

and a corpus

C

, the documents of

C

should be ranked such that the documents relevant to

q

appear above the others. This task is generally performed by ranking the documen ...

Degradation of a biorecalcitrant dye precursor present in industrial wastewaters by a new integrated iron(III) photoassisted-biological treatment

César Pulgarin, Marc Deront, Victor Sarria

This study focuses on the mineralization of 5-amino-6-methyl-2-benzimidazolone (AMBI), an important precursor in the industrial production of dyes, through an integrated Fe(III) photoassisted–biological system without addition of other electron acceptor th ...

Coupled advanced oxidation and biological processes for wastewater treatment

The incapability of conventional biological wastewater treatment to remove effectively biorecalcitrant and/or toxic pollutants, as well as the shortage of world water resources have promoted the research of more efficient and ecologically y friendly water ...

Photochemical-biological treatment of a real industrial biorecalcitrant wastewater containing 5-amino-6-methyl-2-benzimidazolone

César Pulgarin, Victor Sarria, Sandra Parra Cardona

5-amino-6-methyl-2-benzimidazolone (AMBI), used in the manufacture of dyes, was characterised as a biorecalcitrant compound by means of different biodegradability tests. In order to enhance the biodegradability of this important pollutant, the application ...

Halogen/metal vs. hydrogen/metal exchange. General or specific site selectivity as exemplified in the camphene series

(Z)-(3,3-dimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ylidene)methyllithium can be readily generated by treatment of (Z)-3-bromomethylene-2,2-dimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptane with Me3CLi. At -75 Deg, the organometallic intermediate is configurationally stable and reacts with ...
