The aim of this study is to test the capability of the anaerobic digestion model n1 (ADM1) to reproduce data from full-scale digesters operated in a wastewater resource recovery facility (WRRF) where both thermal hydrolysis and codigestion with industrial waste are carried out. Furthermore, the potential uses of the model in a WRRF are also describ...

During advanced oxidation treatment for enhancing sludge dewaterability, the peptide chains of protein can be decomposed into amino acids. Protein exhibits a great impact on sewage sludge dewaterability. However, the role of amino acids in sludge dewatering remains unclear. In this study, among the 23 types of amino acids investigated, tryptophane ...

The effective removal of organophosphorus compounds (OPs) effectively from water environment remains an important but challenging task. In this study, a resin-based nanocomposite of hydrated iron oxide (HD1) was used as Fenton-like catalyst for effectively catalyzing the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to degrade tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (T...

Inorganic arsenic speciation, i.e. the differentiation between arsenite and arsenate, is an important step for any program aiming to address the global issue of arsenic contaminated groundwater, whether for monitoring purposes or the development of new water treatment regimes. Reliable speciation by easy-to-use, portable and cost-effective analytic...

Microalgae-mediated biodegradation of antibiotics has recently gained increased attention from international scientific community. However, limited information is available regarding microalgae-mediated biodegradation of SMX in a co-metabolic system. Here we investigated the biodegradation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) by five algal species (Pseudokirc...

A novel wastewater treatment process, which couples chemically enhanced primary sedimentation (CEPS) of sewage with acidogenic fermentation of sludge in tandem, has recently been developed to improve the removal of pollutants and nutrients, and recover valuable resources such as phosphorus and organics. This study represented the first laboratory-b...

Pesticides are frequently detected in surface waters, sometimes at levels exceeding ecotoxicological guidelines. We screened for almost 100 pesticides in 32 streams from intense agricultural areas in Southern Sweden, in concert with water chemistry parameters. In addition, we investigated the communities of benthic macroinvertebrates, biofilm nemat...

Microcystin-leucine-arginine (MC-LR), a cyclic potentially carcinogenic hepatotoxin, occurs frequently in aquatic habitats worldwide and seriously threatens ecosystem and public health. Limited effectiveness of physicochemical treatments to remove MC-LR from drinking water has led to a search for alternative cost-effective and environment friendly ...

As phosphorus is a non-renewable resource mainly used to produce fertilizers and helps to provide food all over the world, the proper management of its reserves is a global concern since it is expected to become scarcer in the near future. In this work we assessed two different sludge line configurations aiming for P extraction and recovery before ...
