New polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based porous carbons for the removal of industrial wood dyes from aqueous solutions

Domínguez-Ramos L., Tejado I., Gómez-Díaz D., Freire S., Lazzari M., (Corresponding) González-Álvarez J.
Topic: 
Wastewater treatment
Synthetic dyes degradation is a difficult task due to their complex aromatic structure, although its elimination by adsorption is effective. The aim of this research is to produce porous carbons derived from polyacrylonitrile (PAN) as wood dyes adsorbents. PAN is a nitrogen-rich precursor...Read more

Topic: 
Wastewater treatment
Increasing attention has been paid in the recent years to the presence of Organic MicroPollutants (OMPs) in water, being considered a source of a high risk for public health and environment (Rodriguez-Narvaez et al., 2017). The present study belongs to a wide research activity carried out since...Read more

Evaluation of the potential of four microalgal-bacterial symbiotic association on wastewater treatment and lipid accumulation

Talapatra K., Mittal V., (Corresponding) Ghosh U., Gautam R.
Topic: 
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
Microalgae-bacteria symbiotic systems have demonstrated greater benefits over the pure culture of microalgae. The existence of certain bacteria will increase the quality of sewage purification and also reduce the associated high capital cost for maintaining the pure culture of microalgae. In this...Read more

Modelling the hydrothermal carbonization of cheese whey wastewater in Lesvos island: an application of the 3-step evolution model

Chatzimaliakas P., (Corresponding) Vakalis S.
Topic: 
Biowaste
Lesvos island has an extensive dairy production sector, and -at present- eighteen dairy processing facilities are operating. Efficient management of the liquid biowaste effluents has been an issue of interest since the scope is the minimization of the environmental impact. The operating dairy...Read more

Application of solar photo-Fenton oxidation coupled with granular activated carbon as a viable option for the removal of contaminants of emerging concern in the urban wastewater of India

Karaolia P., Korelidou A., (Corresponding) Fatta-Kassinos D.
Topic: 
Advanced oxidation processes
It has been estimated that approximately 62 billion litres of sewage are generated every day in India, with only 37% of sewage being treated (Saxena et al., 2021). Wastewater treatment issues such as dysfunctional UWTPs with many of them operating at low service levels compared to the design...Read more

APOC technology as an eco-innovative decentralized sanitation system for wastewater treatment and reuse facilities in the rural locality of Bent Saidane-NE Tunisia

(Corresponding) Chaabane S., Ghattassi A., Mensi K., M'hiri F., Plakas K.
Topic: 
Water and wastewater reuse
Decentralized wastewater treatment systems (DEWATS) in rural areas can be a smart alternative that helps communities to strengthen rural sanitation in improving clean water and sanitation management. To address these challenges, AquaCycle project, funded by the European Union under the ENI CBC MED...Read more

Monitoring the algae biomass growth developed on hollow fiber membrane bioreactor

Novoa A., (Corresponding) Luca F.
Topic: 
Wastewater treatment
This work focuses on using non-destructive imaging techniques to monitor in-situ the formation of algae biomass on hollow fiber membrane bioreactor treating wastewater. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) was employed to acquire cross-sectional scans of the algae growth in real-time under continuous...Read more

Peracetic acid disinfection: An effective way to reduce antibiotics resistant bacteria from raw hospital wastewater

(Corresponding) Chhetri R., Sanchez Urbina D., Lindholst S., Rickers C., Elkær T., Gade H., Skaarup J., Andersen H.
Topic: 
Wastewater treatment
Risk of infection from antibiotic resistant bacteria from wastewater to the workers in the plant can be reduced by disinfecting wastewater. Peracetic acid (PAA) was used to disinfect the raw wastewater from hospital in pilot scale experiment. Batch experiment was conducted in parallel to confirm...Read more
