MONITORING OF TREATED DOMESTIC WASTE WATER QUALITY
Poulli K., (Corresponding) Ero R., Kozakou S., Michael N., Demetriou E., Christofidou M., Aletrari M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Cyprus is experiencing severe water supply deficiency. Particularly in summer months the situation is aggravated mainly due to low precipitation, high evaporation and increased demands for irrigation and tourisms. The use of treated wastewaters for environmental purposes such as recharging aquifers...Read more
Influence of microbial fuel cell integration on organic matter and nutrient removal in a constructed wetland for wastewater treatment
(Corresponding) Gonzalez T., Miranda J., Vidal G.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The combination of constructed wetlands (CWs) and microbial fuel cells (MFCs) has emerged in recent years with the purpose of enhancing wastewater treatment efficiency of CWs while simultaneously generating electricity. Taking the above into account, the aim of this study is to evaluate the...Read more
Performance evaluation of a flat sheet self-forming dynamic membrane (SFDM) for municipal wastewater treatment containing organic micropollutants
MILLANAR-MARFA J., (Corresponding) Borea l., CASTROGIOVANNI F., NAPODANO P., DE LUNA M., BELGIORNO V., NADDEO V., (Corresponding) Hasan S.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Membrane bioreactors gained increasing interest due to its small footprint and high efficiency. Nonetheless, high capital and operational cost of MBR remains a challenge. With the aim to reduce MBR cost, this study used Dacron mesh to form a dynamic membrane that serves as a substitute to...Read more
Wastewater treatment and emerging contaminants removal in electro membrane bioreactor using self-forming dynamic membranes
(Corresponding) CASTROGIOVANNI F., BOREA L., Millanar-Marfa J., Napodano P., Balakrishnan M., Ballesteros F., Hasan S., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
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

Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor: A Correlation between Biofilm Thickness and Removal of Pharmaceuticals and Endocrinal Disruptor Compounds
(Corresponding) Sanchez-Huerta C., Fortunato L., Leiknes T., Hong P.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Removal of thirteen pharmaceuticals and endocrinal disruptor compounds via membrane aerated biofilm reactor was tested. MABR system demonstrated good management of nitrogenous nutrients. An increase in biofilm thickness enhanced the removal of analgesics, hormones, and disinfectants.
Hydrogen and organic acids production from mesophilic and thermophilic dark fermentation of sugarcane vinasse without buffers
(Corresponding) Ribeiro J., Mota T., Oliveira V., Zaiat M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The main objective of this study was to evaluate the valorization of vinasse dark fermentation (DF) through bioH2 and value-added metabolites production without buffers in two similar Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) reactors under mesophilic (U30) and thermophilic (U55) conditions. An...Read more

Understanding the alteration of organic pollutants and microbiome profiles in a petrochemical wastewater biotreatment process
Wu F., (Corresponding) Deng F., Liu S., Hose G., Simon G.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
A better understanding of the alteration of organic pollutants and microorganisms in wastewater biotreatment processes is essential for the elucidation of pollutant removal mechanisms. This study investigated the alteration of organic pollutants, microbial communities and functional genes in a...Read more
