The knowledge of the rheology influents involved in dry anaerobic digestion is an essential factor for process optimization. Despite this fact, it difficult to characterize rheological behaviour these with high total solid (TS) content. Indeed, standard methods measurements are poorly adapted because sliding effects observed during measurements. In study, we used a non-standard method, Vane geo...

This study investigated the occurrence and removal of 12 antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, levofloxacin, norfloxacin, nalidixic acid, azithromycin, clarithromycin, roxithromycin, lincomycin, novobiocin, sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim) at four sewage treatment plants (STPs): two STPs in Kyoto, Japan and two STPs in Beijing, China. The STPs differed in design and operation conditions, uti...

Extended Abstract Phosphorus is a major factor in the eutrophication process, and sensitive areas prone to contamination from domestic sewage must meet stringent effluent limits [6]. The Ontario Ministry of Environment standards, outlined in the Lake Simcoe – Phosphorus Reduction Strategy, must be consulted to comply with the current baseline limit of 0.30 mgP/L [9]. The objective of this study...
