  2. 1. Improvement of Wastewater Sludge Digestion

    Author : Michael Recktenwald; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Anaerobic digestion; biogas; cation-binding agents; enzymes; enzymatic activity; extracellular polymeric substances EPS ; industrial scale trials; methanization; municipal sewage; sludge treatment; wastewater treatment plant;

    Abstract : The reduction of sludge volumes for disposal is a topic of high interest for wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) all over the world. Steadily increasing volumes for disposal create an economic, environmental, legislative and technological challenge. READ MORE

  4. 2. Sludge from pulp and paper mills for biogas production : Strategies to improve energy performance in wastewater treatment and sludge management

    Author : Alina Hagelqvist; Thomas Nilsson; Karin M. Granström; Bengt Månsson; Bo Mattiasson; Thomas Welander; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; anaerobic digestion; pulp and paper mill sludge; methane production; energy efficient sludge management; Miljö- och energisystem; Environmental and Energy Systems;

    Abstract : The production of pulp and paper is associated with the generation of large quantities of wastewater that has to be purified to avoid severe pollution of the environment. Wastewater purification in pulp and paper mills combines sedimentation, biological treatment, chemical precipitation, flotation and anaerobic treatment, and the specific combination of techniques is determined by the local conditions.

  5. 3. Sludge-derived char : utilisation as a metal sorbent in dilute wastewaters

    Author : Ida Sylwan; Eva Thorin; Lena Johansson Westholm; Konrad Koch; Mälardalens universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sorption; adsorption; sludge; biosolids; metal; wastewater treatment; sorption; adsorption; slam; metaller; avloppsvattenrening; Energy- and Environmental Engineering; energi- och miljöteknik;

    Abstract : Metal concentrations in soil and water have increased since the Industrial Revolution, which may have negative health and environmental effects. Metal pollution occurs, for instance, in municipal wastewater, industrial wastewater, and stormwater. Concentrations are often low, due to dilution. A common technology for metal removal is sorption.

  6. 4. Enhanced biogas production from municipal WWTPs : Co-digestion of microalgae with sewage sludge and thermophilic secondary digestion of mesophilic digested sludge

    Author : Jesper Olsson; Eva Thorin; Emma Nehrenheim; Raúl Muñoz Torre; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy- and Environmental Engineering; energi- och miljöteknik;

    Abstract : Biogas is produced when organic material is broken down in oxygen-free (anaerobic) conditions. This process is called anaerobic digestion and is used in most large and medium-sized municipal wastewater treatment plants in Sweden. READ MORE

  7. 5. Enzymatic treatment of wastewater sludge. Sludge solubilisation, improvement of anaerobic digestion and extraction of extracellular polymeric substances

    Author : Joanna Wawrzynczyk; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; pollution control; Environmental technology; sludge treatment; wastewater activated sludge; Proteins; enzymology; Proteiner; enzymologi; cation-binding agents; mass reduction; lectins; extracellular polymeric substances; enzymes; enzymatic activity; anaerobic digestion; biogas; Miljöteknik; kontroll av utsläpp; Biotechnology; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : The processing and disposal of sludge from wastewater treatment plants is an important topic of increasing environmental, ecological, technological, economic and social concern. The large amounts of sludge produced represent an urgent problem today, new treatment methods being very much needed. READ MORE
