2. 1. Bed filters for phosphorus removal in on-site wastewater treatment : Removal mechanisms and sustainability

   Author : David Eveborn; Jon Petter Gustafsson; Gunno Renman; Erik Kärrman; Lars Lövgren; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; On-site wastewater treatment; Eutrophication; Environmental impact assessment; Phosphorus removal mechanisms; Soil infiltration; Reactive bed filters; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik; Water engineering; Vattenteknik; Soil chemistry; Markkemi;

   Abstract : For many surface waters, phosphorus (P) leaching is a serious problem that should be minimized to prevent eutrophication. In Sweden there is a demand for physical and technical development of high-performance P removal techniques to reduce phosphorus leaching from on-site wastewater treatment systems to the Baltic Sea.

4. 2. Sustainable phosphorus removal in onsite wastewater treatment

   Author : David Eveborn; Jon Petter Gustafsson; Gunno Renman; Erik Kärrman; Paul Withers; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Onsite wastewater treatment; Soil treatment system; Phosphorus; Removal mechanisms; Environmental impacts; Life cycle assessment;

   Abstract : Aquatic eutrophication is a serious environmental problem that occurs all over the world. To protect surface waters (in particular the Baltic Sea), the regulatory pressure on onsite wastewater treatment (OWT) systems have increased in Sweden. READ MORE

5. 3. On-site wastewater treatment : Polonite and other filter materials for removal of metals, nitrogen and phosphorus

   Author : Agnieszka Renman; Per-Erik Jansson; Lars D. Hylander; Gunno Renman; Björn Klöve; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; alkaline materials; heavy metals; mechanisms; nutrient removal; sorption; speciation modelling; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik;

   Abstract : Bed filters using reactive materials are an emerging technology for on-site wastewater treatment. Chemical reactions transfer contaminants from the aqueous to the solid phase. Phosphorus is removed from domestic wastewater by sorption to filter materials, which can then be recycled to agriculture as fertilisers and soil amendments. READ MORE

6. 4. Enhanced phosphorus removal from wastewater using virgin and modified slags : performance, speciation and mechanisms

   Author : Minyu Zuo; Gunno Renman; Jon Petter Gustafsson; Lars Lövgren; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; AOD; EAF; BFS; Calcium phosphate; XANES; slag mineralogy; Mark- och vattenteknik; Land and Water Resources Engineering;

   Abstract : Argon oxygen decarburization slag (AOD) was tested in batch and column experiments to investigate its phosphorus (P) removal performance. The effects of factors such as AOD dose, initial P concentration of the feeding solution, and aging on the P removal ability of the slags were analyzed. READ MORE

7. 5. Characterization of Bacterial Biofilms for Wastewater Treatment

   Author : Sofia Andersson; Gunnel Dalhammar; Bo Mattiasson; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biofilm; extracellular polymeric substances; exopolysaccharides; interspecies interactions; wastewater treatment; denitrification; phosphorus removal; Microbiology; Mikrobiologi;

   Abstract : Research performed at the Division of Environmental Microbiology has over the last years resulted in the isolation of possible bacterial key-organisms with efficient nutrient removal properties (Comamonas denitrificans, Brachymonas denitrificans, Aeromonas hydrophila). Effective use of these organisms for enhanced nutrient removal in wastewater treatment applications requires the strains to be retained, to proliferate and to maintain biological activity within theprocess.
