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

Letrozole and tamoxifen in municipal wastewater and their photodegradation in ultraviolet (UV) treatment

(Corresponding) Alitalo O., Rantalainen A., Pellinen J.
Topic: 
Wastewater treatment
The incidence of cancer has increased worldwide and hormone antagonists are a group of pharmaceuticals used in the treatment of breast cancer. It is well known, that most of the pharmaceuticals are only partially removed or transformed during traditional wastewater treatment processes and the...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.

AliCy as Extractant to Remove Iron from Copper-Free Extreme AMD for Further Extraction of Zinc

Nobahar A., Melka A., Neves L., Carlier J., (Corresponding) Costa M.
Topic: 
Wastewater treatment
A previous work showed that copper can be specifically extracted from acid mine drainage (AMD) classified as high-acid and extreme-metals (pH 1.19, ~63 g/L Fe, ~6.5 g/L Al, ~5.3 g/L Cu, ~1.9 g/L Zn and ~0.1 g/L Mn), using 30% (v/v) Acorga M5640 in Shell GTL (a kerosene like solvent) as extractant...Read more
