Topic:
Wastewater treatment
In recent years, the technical-scientific community has been paying increasing attention to the presence of emerging contaminants that are intercepted in surface water and wastewater since these compounds could have harmful effects on human health and on environment too.
Conventional wastewater...Read more

Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The use of membrane reactor in wastewater treatment gained interest for the past years due to its high-quality effluent. However, expensive membranes and high operational costs due to membrane fouling limit the wide application of this process. Research on fouling control by combining membrane use...Read more
Pilot-scale membrane bioreactor for wastewater treatment using innovative encapsulated self-forming dynamic membrane
Castrogiovanni F., Borea L., HASAN S., Belgiorno V., (Corresponding) Naddeo V.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The use of membrane bioreactors (MBR) is a promising technique for wastewater treatment that manages to respect the restrictive limits imposed by regulations.
However, during the filtration process membranes are subject to fouling which requires additional costs for cleaning and replacing the...Read more

Topic:
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
The excessive use of plastics has created a route for microplastics into our water and wastewater treatment plants. Coupled with the on-going water crises, this creates a threat to fresh water availability as microplastics disrupt the operation of these plants. Microplastics result in severe...Read more
