Shochu wastewater (SW; alcoholic distillery wastewater) contains large amounts of organic compounds (25,000 - 60,000 COD mg/L), nitrogen (1,000 - 6,000 T-N mg/L), and phosphorus (500 - 1,000 T-P mg/L). Despite its high nutrient content, SW is highly perishable, which limits its utilization for animal feed and fertilizer. Therefore, SW is mainly treated by methane fermentation. On the other hand...

Contaminated phosphorus in aquatic environments is a critical problem. This research studied on removal of phosphorus from domestic wastewater by using Echinodorus cordifolius augmented with Pseudomonas putida and Flavobacterium oryzihabitans. Plants treated phosphorus from domestic wastewater for 20 test runs continuously, the effect of phosphorus treatment by microorganisms in domestic wastew...

In scene of worrisome water shortage, municipal wastewater has been gradually accepted as an alternative water resource containing important nutrients for irrigation. Rice cul‐ tivation, which is one of the main crops feeding global population and requires plenty of water for its effective growth, has been often irrigated by municipal wastewater in many countries. While irrigation of municipal ...

mapping based on total concentrations of micronutrients may be useful in fertility management including fertilizer and/or wastewater application. the aims of this work were to (1) investigate the spatial distribution of total concentrations of copper (cu), zinc (zn), manganese (mn) and iron (fe); (2) to select the suitable spatial estimator; and (3) to understand the effect of wastewater irriga...

Rapid urbanization and industrialization in Latin America and the Caribbean has aggravated serious wastewater disposal problems in that region. This article describes some of the morepromising methods available for dealing with these problems-including use of submarine oulfalls, reuse of treated sewage efluent, and application of unconventional technology in poverty-stricken urban neighborhoods.

The volume of wastewater generated by domestic, industrial, and commercial sources has increased with population, urbanization, improved living conditions, and economic development. The productive use of wastewater has also increased, as millions of small-scale farmers in urban and periurban areas of developing countries depend on wastewater or wastewater-polluted water sources to irrigate high...
