Lead remains a problem in drinking water in many parts of the world, with millions of properties served by distribution systems containing leaded components. This review considers the latest information on lead in drinking ...

Three raw waters of fundamentally different natural organic matter (NOM) character were treated by magnetic resin using a bench-scale method designed to mimic how the resin is used in continuous operation. Increasing ...

Increasing attention is directed towards many chemicals and microbial constituents which have not been historically considered as contaminants. These “emerging contaminants” are commonly derived from municipal, agricultural ...

This review explores the use of microalgae for nutrient removal in municipal wastewater treatment, considering recent improvements in the understanding of removal mechanisms and developments of both suspended and non-suspended ...

Ozonation is a widely applied water treatment process, used for oxidation of contaminants, as well as for the disinfection of water. However, the conventional ozonation process demands a high energy requirement and deep ...

Bubble aeration has been widely applied in water/wastewater treatment, however its low gas utilization rate results in high energy consumption. Application of micro-nanobubbles (MNB) has emerged as a process with the ...

The characterisation and treatment of natural organic matter are becoming more important to the water utilities in the UK and around the world. This paper looks at the relationship between bulk and fractionated organic ...

Ion Exchange (IEX) has been widely explored for the removal of organic matter. Chloride is traditionally used as counter-ion, but its release into water can increase the risk of corrosion. Research has shown that bicarbonate ...

The outcomes of a pilot-scale study of the rejection of trihalomethanes (THMs) precursors by commercial ultrafiltration/nanofiltration (UF/NF) spiral-wound membrane elements are presented based on a single surface water ...

The influence of pre-treatment on the suppression of irreversible (IR) fouling of ceramic membranes challenged with three UK surface waters has been studied at pilot scale. An initial scoping study compared the efficacy ...
