Metaldehyde removal was delivered to below the 0.1 µg L-1 regulatory concentration in a laboratory scale continuous upflow fluidised sand bioreactor that had undergone acclimation through selective enrichment for metaldehyde ...

Ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) have recently emerged as a viable technology for water disinfection. However, the performance of the technology in full-scale drinking-water treatment systems remains poorly ...

Biological processes for wastewater treatment is limited by extracellular enzyme activity (EEA) of the biofilm on polymeric substrates. The efficiency of biodegradation / biosorption mechanisms causing EEA and organic load ...

The efficacy of chlorine disinfection was assessed for the first time over a range of disinfection conditions using flow cytometry (FCM) to provide new insights into disinfection processes. Inactivation was assessed for ...

Prisons are high-risk settings for infectious disease transmission, due to their enclosed and semi-enclosed environments. The proximity between prisoners and staff, and the diversity of prisons reduces the effectiveness ...

Rapid population growth and urbanization process have led to increasing demand for wastewater treatment capacity resulting in a non-negligible increase of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in several cities around the ...

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in over 340 million infection cases (as of 21 January 2022) and more than 5.57 million deaths globally. In reaction, science, technology and innovation communities across the globe have ...

Polar, low molecular weight pesticides such as metaldehyde are challenging and costly to remove from drinking water using conventional treatment methods. Although biological treatments can be effective at treating ...
