The purpose of this research was develop a biological nutrient removal (BNR) system which has low energy consumption, sludge production, and land usage. These indicate that BNR system could be a alternative of future wastewater treatment in ubiquitous city(U-city). Organics and nitrogen compounds could be removed by this system so that secondary or tertiary stages of wastewater treatment satisf...

The degradation of seven compounds which are usually recalcitrant in classical activated sludge treatment (e.g., diclofenac, propranolol, iopromide, iohexol, iomeprol tebuconazole and propiconazole) was studied in a biofilm reactor (slow sand filtration). This reactor was used to treat real effluent-wastewater at different flow rates (hydraulic loadings) under aerobic conditions so removal and ...

background: selection of different wastewater treatment methods depends on the kind of wastewater, geographical position of the community, quantity and quality of wastewater and effluent, technology and finance. natural wastewater treatment methods are simple, cheap and acceptable for developing countries specially small and remote countries and wetland is one of these methods. wetlands include...

Abstract Wastewater is major source of contaminants originating from the production, usage, and disposal plastic materials. Due to their poor biodegradability these in municipal wastewater treatment plants, additional advanced oxidation processes such as electrochemical treatments have been developed improve standard biological treatment. Here we review applications for removal following contam...

There is increasing concern about chemical pollutants that have the ability to mimic hormones, the so-called endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs). One of the main reasons for concern is the possible effect of EDCs on human health. EDCs may be released into the environment in different ways, and one of the most significant sources is industrial wastewater. The main objective of this research wa...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious problem for modern society, not only associated with clinical environments, but also the natural environment. Conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are important nodes dissemination of antibiotic to aquatic environment since they reservoirs antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB), genes (ARGs), and residues. WWTPs designed remove these determin...

In recent years, many scientific studies have focused their efforts on quantifying the different types of pollutants that are not removed in wastewater treatment plants. Compounds emerging concern (CECs) been detected natural environments. The presence these compounds is new, but they may consequences future. These reach environment through various routes, such as wastewater. This review focuse...

Coastal bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L.) may be a potentially important source of bio-based energy in the southern US due to its vast acreage. It is often produced as part of a waste management plan with varying nutrient composition and energy characteristics on fields irrigated with livestock wastewater. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of subsurface drip irrigation wi...

abstract background: heavy metals in industrial wastewater especially chromium (vi) are considered as the main environmental pollutants. methods: electrochemical cell made of plexiglass with a volume of 1.95 lit was used. iron and graphite electrodes, electricity conductor, each with dimensions of 0.1×3×10 cm (width×length×height) were designed and built. tests were carried out in various condi...
