Challenges to implement circular economy principles in the wastewater cycle are connected to the need of reducing nutrients (ammonium as NH₄⁺-N, and phosphorus as PO₄-P) in treated effluent whilst enabling their recovery ...

Production of coke for steel manufacturing produces a wastewater containing total nitrogen (TN) (up to 600 mg/L) alongside toxic compounds phenol (60 - 400 mg/L), thiocyanate (SCN-) (100 - 400 mg/L), polycyclic aromatic ...

Pilot-scale studies on anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) for municipal wastewater treatment at low temperature (<20°C) showed promising results, however, their application at larger scale is still relatively unknown. ...

The pesticide production industry generates a high strength wastewater containing a range of toxic pollutants (2,4-dichlorphenoxy acetic acid: 2,4-D; 4-(2,4-dichlorphenox) propionic acid: 2,4-DP; 4-(2,4-dichlorophenox) ...

Moving attached growth processes are commonly used for the effective removal of organic pollutants and nitrogen in wastewater treatment plants. In these processes, biofilm grows attached to plastic media. Moving attached ...

Wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) complements individual testing to assess disease burden within geographically defined communities. Here, the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA fragments ...

Biomineralization can be exploited to recover phosphorus from liquid streams and wastewater through struvite (i.e. bio-struvite) production. However, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the attributes of the microorganisms ...
