Evaluation of physico-chemical factors affecting Wastewater-Based Epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 in a southern Philippine sewershed
(Corresponding) Jaraula C., Limen M., Otero M., Miguel R., Kobayashi V., Baja E., del Mundo D., Murao L.
Topic:
Wastewater-Based Epidemiology
Wastewater-Based Epidemiology as a complementary Public Health Surveillance tool in Davao City proved useful as the basis of further improvements in disease surveillance. Weekly sampling from November to December in 2020 identified 91% sewer water samples with SARS-CoV-2 RNA despite the lack of...Read more

Management of Table Olive Wastewater (TOWW) in Turkey
(Corresponding) Dolgen D., Alpaslan M.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Table olive is very important agricultural product for Turkey. It has a great market share in the country and also have high export potential. Management of table olive wastewater (TOWW) is an emerging and important issue, since large volumes of TOWW are discharged with high concentrations of...Read more
Valorization of waste graphite deriving from "End Of Life Lithium-Ion Battery recycling" for a second use in wastewater treatment.
(Corresponding) Premathilake D., (Corresponding) Vaccari M., Botelho Junior A., Tenório J., Espinosa D., Colombi F.
Topic:
Recycling of materials to new products
Exponential utilization of Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has produced a notable amount of hazardous waste recently. The current practices focus on recovering precious metals available in cathode giving less priority for anode material (graphite) recoveries and valorizations. However, thinning of...Read more

Photocatalytic nanofiltration reactor for agricultural wastewater purification and reuse
Theodorakopulos G., Arfanis M., Agüera A., Cadena Aponte F., Sánchez Pérez J., Markellou E., Romanos G., (Corresponding) Falaras P.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
In recent years, the Agrofood industry utilizes pesticides for improving the agricultural production. Nevertheless, the presence of pesticide residues in agricultural wastewater can cause adverse impact on water resources and have harmful effects on human health. Consequently, intensive actions are...Read more
Optimization of wastewater treatment by integration of artificial intelligence techniques: recent progress and future perspectives
(Corresponding) Cairone S., Hasan S., Zarra T., Belgiorno V., Naddeo V.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Artificial intelligence (AI) is proving useful in optimizing the process efficiency in many sectors, including wastewater treatment. The complexity of wastewater characteristics and treatment technologies leads to uncertainties and variability in the efficiency of the processes in wastewater...Read more
Biological Oxygen-dosed Activated Carbon (BODAC) filters - A bio-based treatment for wastewater reuse and reclamation
(Corresponding) Larasati A., Bernadet O., Pinela S., Meulepas R., Gagliano M.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
Water re-use from municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) effluent has recently gained more attention. This effluent water usually contains nutrients and trace contaminants, such as organic micro-pollutants (OMPs). Conventional municipal WWTPs are not currently designed to completely remove...Read more
Advancements, Design, and Improvement Strategies for Modern-era Membranes for the Treatment of Wastewater
(Corresponding) Khan N., (Corresponding) Santos ., Afzal K., Simranjeet S.
Topic:
Water management in arid communities/places
Membranes are widely used in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and wastewater treatment plants, among others, to purify and recycle water, separate dissolved substances from the environment, such as organic and inorganic contaminants, and recover valuable materials...Read more
OTAER biotechnology: a new pathway of reaching the Zero Net Carbon in Odours Treatment
(Corresponding) Romano F., Mariniello A., Oliva G., Naddeo V., Belgiorno V., Zarra T.
Topic:
Sustainability & the SDGs
Emissions of odours into ambient air represent a serious problem and cause for conflict, due to the effects they cause on the population and on the exposed environment. Their treatment is therefore a priority. The approach currently pursued by the conventional odour treatment technologies is...Read more
Development and Application of a novel anaerobic/aerobic/anoxic process in municipal wastewater treatment utilizing intracellular carbon sources
Gao X., (Corresponding) Peng Y.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
Municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) face a significant challenge in controlling treatment costs while meeting increasingly stringent wastewater discharge standards. To address this challenge, A novel anaerobic/anoxic/aerobic (AOA) process has been proposed. In this study, long-term...Read more

Oxic-Settling-Anaerobic under intermittent aeration: effect on system performance, sludge minimization and greenhouse gas emissions
Dı Trapanı D., Cosenza A., (Corresponding) Bosco Mofatto P., Mannina G.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
The paper presents the results of an experimental study carried out on a pilot scale activated sludge system operated under intermittent aeration and fed with real wastewater at the Water Resource Recovery Facility of Palermo University (Italy). The experimental campaign was divided into two...Read more
