6. Phosphorus removal in reactive filter materials : factors affecting the sorption capacity
Abstract : Phosphorus is an essential component in all living organisms; it is one of the components of the DNA and the key element in the energy supplying molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Throughout the history, humans have been recycling phosphorus to agriculture; thereby increasing the yield, examples of this includes the burning of plants and the use of manure. READ MORE

7. Application of magnetic nanoparticles and reactive filter materials for wastewater treatment
Abstract : Lately sewage wastewater treatment processes (WWTP) are facing challenges due to strict regulations in quality of effluent standards and waste production. The reuse of wastewater treatment effluents is rapidly gaining attention as a means of achieving sustainable water supply. Therefore, new methods are required to achieve an efficient WWTP. READ MORE

8. Assessment of waters with complex contamination : Effect-based methods for evaluating wastewater treatment requirements and efficiency
Abstract : The access to clean water is one of the prerequisites for a modern, industrialized society. The amount of water withdrawn for human activities has risen exponentially during the last 100 years. This rise in water use is accompanied by the production of vast quantities of contaminated water.

9. Filter beds for on-site wastewater treatment : Towards more reliable estimations of phosphorus retention
Abstract : Phosphorus (P) is an important plant nutrient and essential for life. However, thephosphate rock used for fertilizer production is a non-renewable resource and itsproduction is expected to peak. At the same time, the discharge of P into naturalwaters is causing eutrophication, a severe problem in areas such as the Baltic Sea. READ MORE

10. Modelling phosphorus dynamics in constructed wetlands upgraded with reactive filter media
Abstract : Developing low-cost and effective technologies to upgrade phosphorus (P) removal from the catchment runoffs and rural wastewater treatment facilities is one of the main research agendas to save the Baltic Sea from eutrophication. In Sweden, the construction of the constructed wetlands has been one of the environmental objectives for wastewater quality improvement in the small communities. READ MORE
