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
Technologies for the Removal of Microplastics from Wastewater: A Short Review
(Corresponding) Corpuz M., Buonerba A., Napodano P., Hasan S., Choo K., Zarra T., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies
One of the major routes of microplastics (MPs) to the environment is through the wastewater treatment plants’ (WWTPs) discharge to water bodies. Due to their dimensions (< 5mm), MPs tend to be ingested by aquatic species, and eventually, may cause adverse impacts on the environment and to human...Read more
