Ammonia Behaviour in Wastewater Reclamation by Soil Aquifer Treatment

Ammonia Wastewater Treatment by Immobilized Activated Sludge

Correlation of six anthropogenic markers in wastewater, surface water, bank filtrate, and soil aquifer treatment.

Six trace contaminants (acesulfame (ACE), sucralose (SUC), carbamazepine (CBZ), diatrizoic acid (DTA), 1H-benzotriazole (BTZ) and its 4-methyl analogue (4-TTri)) were traced from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to receiving waters and further to riverbank filtration (RBF) wells to evaluate their prediction power as potential wastewater markers. Furthermore, the persistence of some compounds...

Specific Options in Biological Wastewater Treatment for Reclamation and Reuse

Fate of wastewater effluent hER-agonists and hER-antagonists during soil aquifer treatment.

Estrogen activity was measured in wastewater effluent before and after polishing via soil-aquifer treatment (SAT) using both a (hER-beta) competitive binding assay and a transcriptional activation (yeast estrogen screen, YES) assay. From the competitive binding assay, the equivalent 17alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2) concentration in secondary effluent was 4.7 nM but decreased to 0.22 nM following ...

Optimization of Soil Aquifer Treatment by Chemical Oxidation with Hydrogen Peroxide Addition

Trace organic compounds (TrOCs), mostly found in secondary effluents, have a potential impact on the environment, affecting surface water, groundwater, and especially aquatic ecosystems. The present study focuses on oxidation of five selected TrOCs in column experiments, by simulating Soil Aquifer Treatment (SAT) integrated with Fenton-like reaction, using Granular Ferric Hydroxide (GFH) as a c...
