Treatment of micropollutants in municipal wastewater: study of a sequential batch biofilter

Andreu Contijoch Culleré

A fungal biofilter composed of woodchips was designed in order to remove micropollutants from the effluents of waste water treatment plants. Two fungi were tested: Pleurotus ostreatus and Trametes versicolor in order to evaluate their efficiency for the re ...

Column studies to assess the effects of climate variables on redox processes during riverbank filtration

Urs von Gunten, Janet Gordon Hering

Riverbank filtration is an established technique used world-wide to produce clean drinking water in a reliable and cost-efficient way. This practice is, however, facing new challenges posed by climate change, as already observed during past heat waves with ...

Substance flow analysis as a tool for mitigating the impact of pharmaceuticals on the aquatic system

Luca Rossi, Sylvain Coutu, Htet Kyi Wynn, Jonas Margot

Pharmaceuticals constitute an important environmental issue for receiving waters. A holistic approach, taking into consideration the sources of these compounds (hospitals, domestic use), discharges (wastewater effluent, combined sewer overflows) and relate ...

Elsevier2013

Wastewater reuse in agriculture is a widespread practice in developing countries, especially in urban areas where water shortage and poverty encourage people to use that marginal resource. Raw or treated wastewaters are used by farmers, but even treated wa ...

Treatment of micropollutants in municipal wastewater: Ozone or powdered activated carbon?

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Jonas Margot, Anoys Magnet

Many organic micropollutants present in wastewater, such as pharmaceuticals and pesticides, are poorly removed in conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). To reduce the release of these substances into the aquatic environment, advanced wastewater ...

Constant-yield control of continuous bioreactors

Georgios Savoglidis

The process of anaerobic digestion is a common application in the treatment of industrial and communal wastewater treatment plants. The biochemical reactions taking place inside the fermenter can be described by a system of first order differential equatio ...

Elsevier Science Sa2013

The performance of ozonation in wastewater depends on water quality and the ability to form hydroxyl radicals ( OH) to meet disinfection or contaminant transformation objectives. Since there are no on-line methods to assess ozone and OH exposure in wastewa ...

Elimination of micropollutants in wastewater treatment plants : Ozonation or activated carbon? Conclusions of a one-year pilot project

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Jonas Margot, Anoys Magnet

Many organic micropollutants present in wastewater, such as pharmaceuticals and pesticides, are poorly removed in conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). To reduce the release of these substances into the aquatic environment, advanced treatments a ...
