Santana-Viera S., Montesdecoa-Esponda S., Torres-Padrón M., (Corresponding) Sosa-Ferrera Z., Santana-Rodríguez J.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Microplastics (MPs) are pollutants of emerging concern. These small particles are found throughout the world. Its best-known negative effects are that they can confuse marine organisms that would feed on them, or block their airways. In addition, they have been shown to act as vectors of...Read more
Selection of bacterial strains to bioaugment granular sludge and improve the removal of recalcitrant pollutants
(Corresponding) Carlier J., Lara-Moreno A., Ngonyani A., Martins A., Villagomez A., Igbodo B., Cox C., Ismail F., Marín-Beltrán I., Palma T., Costa M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Several advantages are gained by the use of granular sludge in wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), such as higher biomass retention, faster settling properties, lower energy costs and smaller operational land space. However, relatively few studies have been carried out on the biodegradation of...Read more
