Electrochemical oxidation of losartan on a BDD electrode : influence of cathodes and electrolytes on the degradation kin...
In this work, the influence of supporting electrolytes (sodium sulfate and sodium chloride) on the electrochemical oxidation of the antihypertensive drug losartan (LOS) was studied under different operating conditions such as current density (4.1-12.5 mA cm-2), electrolyte concentration (0.05-0.5 M), initial pollutant concentration (250-1000 mu g L...
Advanced wastewater treatment with microalgae-indigenous bacterial interactions
...
Published in Environmental Science and Ecotechnology
• A continuous flow algae-based system operated stably and effectively for 120 days. • Phosphorus was fully removed when the hydraulic retention time exceeded 6 h. • Microalgae and bacteria provided good self-adaption environments for each other. • Metabolic pathways between microalgae and bacteria were discussed. • The nitrogen genes decreased wit...
Assessing impacts of municipal wastewater treatment plant upgrades on bacterial hazard contributions to the receiving ur...
Published in Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Upgrading municipal wastewater treatment plants (MWTPs) has been implemented in many megacities of China to reduce the discharges of nutrients and other pollutants and improve water quality of highly urbanized rivers. However, the contribution of MWTP discharge to bacterial hazards in the receiving rivers after upgrades has been largely unknown. In...
Removal performance of dissolved organic matter from municipal secondary effluent by different advanced treatment proces...
Published in Environmental science and pollution research international
Various advanced treatment processes including ultrafiltration (UF), ozonation, enhanced coagulation, and biological aerated filter (BAF) have been applied to reduce dissolved organic matter (DOM) from the secondary effluent of municipal wastewater treatment plants (MWTPs). In this study, DOM were characterized and the relationship between DOM char...
Treatment and utilization of swine wastewater - A review on technologies in full-scale application.
Published in The Science of the total environment
The management of swine wastewater has become the focus of attention in the farming industry. The disposal mode of swine wastewater can be classified as field application of treated waste and treatment to meet discharge standards. The status of investigation and application of unit technology in treatment and utilization such as solid-liquid separa...
SARS-CoV-2 genetic material is removed during municipal wastewater treatment and is undetectable after advanced treatmen...
Published in The Science of the total environment
The aim of this study was to establish whether SARS-CoV-2 genetic material is detectable after municipal wastewater treatment and to verify its expected removal from purified water that is reclaimed for potable reuse. Viral loads of SARS-CoV-2 (N1 and N2 genes) were monitored in raw influent wastewater (sewage) entering a water reclamation facility...
A novel constructed wetland based on iron carbon substrates: performance optimization and mechanisms of simultaneous rem...
Published in Environmental science and pollution research international
In recent years, the combination of iron carbon micro-electrolysis (ICME) with constructed wetlands (CWs) for removal of nitrogen and phosphorus has attracted more and more attention. However, the removal mechanisms by CWs with iron carbon (Fe-C) substrates are still unclear. In this study, the Fe-C based CW (CW-A) was established to improve the re...
The fate of antibiotic resistance genes and their association with bacterial and archaeal communities during advanced tr...
Published in The Science of the total environment
Advanced wastewater treatment plants are widely used in most large-scale pig farms in southern China. However, the fate of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and their association with bacterial and archaeal communities during advanced wastewater treatment remain unclear. In this study, the profiles of ARGs in typical advanced wastewater treatment ...
Treatment technologies for sustainable management of wastewater from iron and steel industry - a review.
Published in Environmental science and pollution research international
The iron and steel industries are a vital driving force for propelling the nation's economic growth. In 2019, to boost the economy and to achieve the target of five trillion economies by 2024, government of India entails investments in several steel-related sectors. However, since their inception, steel and iron industries have been coupled with ex...
