Factors influencing luxury uptake of phosphorus by microalgae in waste stabilization ponds.

Towards a luxury uptake process via microalgae--defining the polyphosphate dynamics.

Microalgae in waste stabilization ponds (WSP) have been shown to accumulate polyphosphate. This luxury uptake of phosphorus is influenced by the wastewater phosphate concentration, light intensity and temperature, but the dynamics of how these factors affect luxury uptake with respect to time are not understood. With improved understanding of the dynamics of this mechanism and how it could be m...

Waste Stabilization Ponds for Waste Water Treatment, Anaerobic Pond

Waste stabilization ponds (WSP) have been used world-wide over the last 50 years for municipal and industrial wastewater. The waste water treatment system has been accepted and used to change the physical, chemical, or biological character of the waste. This article presents the characteristics, parameters, and examples of the waste stabilization ponds all over the world. This work was based on...

Reusing industrial by - products to enhance phosphorus removal in 1 waste stabilization ponds : laboratory approach

Baffle and fixed media effects on coliform removal and bacterial die-off rate coefficient in waste stabilization ponds (a case study in Ahvaz)

Background: The use of waste stabilization ponds is one of the cheapest wastewater treatment processes. This study evaluated the effects of baffles and fixed media on coliform removal in facultative lagoons. Methods: In this study, the settled wastewater from four pond systems of the city of Ahvaz was used as input. Each system was composed of two ponds that were connected to each other serial...

Diversity of bird's communities on dumpsite and sewage stabilization ponds of Moshi Municipal, Kilimanjaro, Tanzania

Urban development is rapidly expanding across the globe and is a major driver of environmental change. It is important to understand how bird species responds to urbanization. Therefore I conducted a qualitative study of birds associated with waste sites such as dumpsite and sewage stabilization ponds was carried out on Moshi municipal. The study assessed the diversity between dumpsite and sewa...
