Hybrid Adsorption and Biological Treatment System (HABiTS) for enhanced nitrogen removal in onsite wastewater treatment systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
A Hybrid Adsorption and Biological Treatment System (HABiTS) was investigated for efficient nitrification in on-site wastewater treatment. Variable septic tank effluent loading experiments were carried out in bench-scale columns, with and without zeolite addition. Enhanced NH4-N removal (80%) was observed in the HABiTS column that combined expanded clay and clinoptilolite compared with a control column with only expanded clay (73%) during phases with high nitrogen loads. The enhancement was attributed to NH4 adsorption by clinoptilolite during high loading rate periods and subsequent bioregeneration by nitrifying bacteria during low loading rate periods. Similar treatment efficiency for the both the HABiTS and control column was observed during low loading rate periods.

Pollutant removal by Canna Generalis in tropical constructed wetlands for domestic wastewater treatment
Constructed wetlands have not been commonly used in Vietnam due to the lack of information in the selection of proper types of constructed wetlands, type of reeds, design parameters and performance efficiency, in tropical climates. This paper focuses on Canna generalis, which is a common reed and easy to grow both in water and wet land conditions. Two kinds of hybrid constructed wetlan...

An air-cathode MFC-adsorption hybrid system, made from earthen pot was designed and tested for simultaneous wastewater treatment and energy recovery. Such design had demonstrated superior characteristics of low internal resistance (29.3Ω) and favor to low-cost, efficient wastewater treatment and power generation (55mW/m(3)) with average current of 2.13±0.4mA. The performance between MFC-adsorpt...
