BACKGROUND, AIM, AND SCOPE Fishery wastewater treatment can be compromised due to seasonal production. The use of sequencing batch reactors is not completely successful, despite flexibility being one of the principal advantages. Most research on activated sludge is performed using synthetic wastewater to ensure a stable and constant feed. The current work compared biomass morphology and settlin...

The gender empowerment of communities and individuals in Ein Qinia village / Ramallah on the acceptance of wastewater treatment projects and treated wastewater reuse was studied. The gender acceptance was determined through whether or not trained focused women groups in treated wastewater reuse could be increased in reusing the treated wastewater in agricultural activities. Women showed a high ...

Standard aquaculture generates large-scale pollution and strains water resources. In aquaculture using zero discharge systems (ZDS), highly efficient fish growth and water recycling are combined. The wastewater stream is directed through compartments in which beneficial microbial activities induced by creating suitable environmental conditions remove biological and chemical pollutants, alleviat...

Radiation processing was found effective in wastewater purification and disinfection, and has been investigated in many countries through laboratory scale and pilot scale facilities. This technology can be applied to the treatment of industrial wastewater from textile dyeing industries, papermill and petrochemical processes, and also for the reclamation of effluent from municipal wastewater tre...

The energy content of wastewater is routinely assessed by chemical oxygen demand (COD) measurements that only provide an incomplete picture and the data fundament of other energy parameters remains scarce. The volumetric heat of combustion (ΔCH) of raw wastewater from a municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) was assessed using oven drying method (ΔCHvol = −6.8 ± 4.3 kJ L, n = 20) and freez...

Deep groundwater aquifers are poorly characterized but could yield important sources of water in California and elsewhere. Deep aquifers have been developed for oil and gas extraction, and this activity has created both valuable data and risks to groundwater quality. Assessing groundwater quantity and quality requires baseline data and a monitoring framework for evaluating impacts. We analyze 9...

The risk of Giardia duodenalis (Giardia) infection in farmers using untreated wastewater in agriculture was investigated in the city of Faisalabad, Pakistan, through a cross-sectional study. The study found a significantly increased risk of (asymptomatic) Giardia infection in wastewater farming households when compared with farming households using regular (non-wastewater) irrigation water (OR ...

The dyeing industry uses many chemicals and dyes. After the dying process is completed, they release a significant amount of dyes in wastewater. dyes’ color emissions are extremely poisonous dangerous for aquatic terrestrial life. Due to toxic nature dyes, current study was carried out evaluate whether it would be effective employ an adsorption procedure with leaves from Adiantum capillus-vener...
