The Effects of Spatial Organization and Fluid Flow on the Social Interactions in Microbial Communities

Bacteria often engage in social interactions with neighbouring bacteria. Ecosystems which are subjected to social interactions have been widely studied in well mixed settings such as test tubes, allowing us to identify the cellular components contributing ...

Incremental financial analysis of black liquor upgraded gasification in integrated kraft pulp and ammonia production plants under uncertainty of feedstock costs and carbon taxes

François Maréchal, Meire Ellen Gorete Ribeiro Domingos

In this work, the conventional scenario of the black liquor (BL) concentration and combustion is compared with the BL upgrading gasification process for ammonia production. The chemical processes synthesis, modeling and simulation are performed by using As ...

Stepwise Reduction of Dinitrogen by a Uranium-Potassium Complex Yielding a U(VI)/U(IV) Tetranitride Cluster

Marinella Mazzanti, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Ivica Zivkovic, Luciano Barluzzi, Nadir Jori

Multimetallic cooperativity is believed to play a key role in the cleavage of dinitrogen to nitrides (N3-), but the mechanism remains ambiguous due to the lack of isolated intermediates. Herein, we report the reduction of the complex [K-2{[U-V(OSi((OBu)-Bu ...

Persulfate-Based Advanced Oxidation: Critical Assessment of Opportunities and Roadblocks

Urs von Gunten

Reports that promote persulfate-based advanced oxidation process (AOP) as a viable alternative to hydrogen peroxide-based processes have been rapidly accumulating in recent water treatment literature. Various strategies to activate peroxide bonds in persul ...

Nitrification increases nitrogen export from a tropical river network

Janine Rüegg

Scaling aquatic ecosystem processes like nutrient removal is critical for assessing the importance of streams and rivers to watershed nutrient export. We used pulse NH4+ enrichment experiments and measured net NH4+ uptake in 7 streams throughout a mountain ...

Reaction extents: A Divide-and-Conquer Approach for Kinetic Model Identification

Dominique Bonvin, Julien Léo Billeter

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 ...

Role of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in micropollutant removal from wastewater with aerobic granular sludge

David Andrew Barry, Christof Holliger, Jonas Margot, Samuel Lochmatter

Nitrifying wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are more efficient than non-nitrifying WWTPs to remove several micropollutants such as pharmaceuticals and pesticides. This may be related to the activity of nitrifying organisms, such as ammonia-oxidizing bac ...

Nitrogen Removal over Nitrite by Aeration Control in Aerobic Granular Sludge Sequencing Batch Reactors

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Samuel Lochmatter

This study investigated the potential of aeration control for the achievement of N-removal over nitrite with aerobic granular sludge in sequencing batch reactors. N-removal over nitrite requires less COD, which is particularly interesting if COD is the lim ...

Microbial diversity differences within aerobic granular sludge and activated sludge flocs

In this study, we investigated during 400 days the microbial community variations as observed from 16S DNA gene DGGE banding patterns from an aerobic granular sludge pilot plant as well as the from a full-scale activated sludge treatment plant in Epe, the ...

Optimization of Reactor Startup and Nitrogen Removal of Aerobic Granular Sludge Systems

Samuel Lochmatter

Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) in sequencing batch reactors (SBR) has recently made its proofs as full-scale technology for the biological treatment of urban wastewater. In contrast to conventional flocculent activated sludge, microorganisms aggregate to de ...
