As a way of turning sea into land for living space for humans, the actions of sea reclamation bring about significant benefits. Nevertheless, it is also an under-recognized threat to the environment and the marine ecosystem. Based on images in two periods, sea reclamation information of countries around the South China Sea was extracted from 1975 to 2010. The spatial state and driven forces of ...

This paper assesses a bench-scale carwash wastewater treatment system's removal efficiency based on coagulation-flocculation and household-type activated carbon filter water ozonator. For the experiment, that went through an oil/water separator (OWS) from medium-sized facility located in dense commercial area Barranquilla, Colombia, was collected. The study evaluates following parameters: quali...

In this work, Direct Contact Membrane Distillation (DCMD) was applied for the treatment of municipal wastewater collected from primary clarifier a plant (MWWTP). The water flux at 60℃ and 20℃ feed permeate side, respectively 51 kg/m2h in treating effluent. Meanwhile, electrical conductivity distillate good range 1.5 – 1.8 S/cm. Most representative parameters reuse (SS, nitrate, nitrite, phospha...

Algae-based wastewater treatment is a promising technology with various applications for excess biomass such as biofertilizer production or valuable elements extraction. The benefits of the have been discussed larger plants (WWTPs), but use microalgae in decentralized has barely reported. current study screens possible resource recovery potential onsite technology, which adds algae-based post-t...

The growing concern about the effectiveness of reclamation strategies has motivated the evaluation of soil properties following reclamation. Recovery of belowground microbial community is important for reclamation success, however, the response of soil bacterial communities to reclamation has not been well understood. In this study, PCR-based 454 pyrosequencing was applied to compare bacterial ...

High contents of soluble salts accumulated in a soil can significantly decrease the value and productivity of agricultural lands. Present recommendations for reclamation are usually based only on relatively simple and often empirical relations. In this paper we give a brief overview of many unique physical and chemical factors important to reclamation contained in the one-dimensional multicompo...

The integration of onsite, decentralized, and satellite wastewater treatment systems into existing urban water infrastructure is an attractive option for recovering water and nutrients locally for multi-purpose reuse. To facilitate wastewater treatment and reuse, tailored to local needs, a hybrid membrane treatment process is proposed that couples sequencing batch reactors with a membrane biore...
