Non-targeted facilitation of primary sludge anaerobic fermentation by micro-aeration and the simultaneous nutrients transformations

Mohammed Mouhib, Chenxi Liu, Lin Li, Qiang He

Anaerobic fermentation is a widely used technology for resource recovery from municipal sludge (e.g., primary sludge). Micro-aeration is an emerging strategy which can be incorporated into this technology. However, the effect of micro-aeration on the anaer ...

Selective elimination of enterovirus genotypes by activated sludge and chlorination

Tamar Kohn, Shotaro Torii

Enteroviruses, which are commonly circulating viruses shed in the stool, are released into the sewage system and only partially removed or inactivated, resulting in the discharge of infectious enteroviruses into the environment. Activated sludge and chlori ...

How to avoid the danger of pollutants in Swiss biochar production and use?

Nika Bilic

The study of pollutants found in biochar and its effects on agricultural soil was conducted in this paper. The aim of the research was to analyse organic and inorganic pollutants found in biochar which either originate from the biomass itself or are formed ...

Comparative Exergy and Environmental Assessment of the Residual Biomass Gasification Routes for Hydrogen and Ammonia Production

Daniel Alexander Florez Orrego

The need to reduce the dependency of chemicals on fossil fuels has recently motivated the adoption of renewable energies in those sectors. In addition, due to a growing population, the treatment and disposition of residual biomass from agricultural process ...

Functional and structural characterization of polyphosphate-accumulating organisms in aerobic granular biofilms

Arnaud Michel Gelb

The "Aerobic Granular Sludge" (AGS) technology for wastewater treatment is basedon dense microbial biofilm in the form of granular aggregates that have an excellentsettling property allowing high biomass concentrations in bioreactors. This promisingbiologi ...

The capture technology matters: Composition of municipal wastewater solids drives complexity of microbial community structure and volatile fatty acid profile during anaerobic fermentation

Pierre Rossi, Arnaud Michel Gelb

The production of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) represents a relevant option to valorize municipal wastewater (MWW). In this context, different capture technologies can be used to recover organic carbon from wastewater in form of solids, while pre-treatment ...
