Removal of trace organic contaminants from wastewater by superfine powdered activated carbon (SPAC) is neither affected by SPAC dispersal nor coagulation
The present doctoral thesis aimed to achieve a robust cultivation of microalgae by recycling nitrogen from a liquid digestate. However, the use of non-sterile nutrient source increases the risks of contamination of undesired organisms such as bacteria, vir ...
A participatory research team, concerned about water quality around Lake Geneva, particularly in the Montreux Bay region where some were lifeguards, ran sampling campaigns to determine summertime levels of lake water pollution. The participants were brough ...
Ozonation is increasingly applied in water and wastewater treatment for the abatement of micropollutants (MPs). However, the transformation products formed during ozonation (OTPs) and their fate in biological or sorptive post-treatments is largely unknown. ...
Environmental pollutants including emerging contaminants are a growing concern worldwide. Organic wastes, such as food waste, compost, animal manure, crop residues, and sludge are generally used as feedstock. The conventional treatment methodologies (prima ...
Combining iron with a tetraamido-macrocyclic ligand (Fe-TAML) as a catalyst and with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as the bulk oxidant is a process that has been suggested for the oxidative abatement of micropollutants during water treatment. In this study, the ...
Ozone, electrolysis and granular activated carbon (GAC) were examined as potential post-treatments to followa household-scale biologically activated membrane bioreactor (BAMBi), treating a wash water containing trace urine and feces contamination. Each pos ...
Oxidative treatment of iodide-containing waters can lead to a formation of potentially toxic iodinated disinfection byproducts (I-DBPs). Iodide (I-) is easily oxidized to HOI by various oxidation processes and its reaction with dissolved organic matter (DO ...
Chlorothalonil, a fungicide applied for decades worldwide, has recently been banned in the European Union (EU) and Switzerland due to its carcinogenicity and the presence of potentially toxic transformation products (TPs) in groundwater. The spread and con ...
Nitrogen-containing moieties are widespread in natural waters in dissolved organic nitrogen and micropollu-tants. They are often susceptible to an electrophilic attack of ozone because of the electron-rich nature of the neutral form of nitrogen in organic ...
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 ...
