  2. 11. Application of magnetic nanoparticles and reactive filter materials for wastewater treatment

    Author : Ramnath Lakshmanan; Gunaratna Kuttuva Rajarao; Erik Dahlquist; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Reactive filter materials; magnetic nanoparticles; wastewater treatment process; nutrient reduction; sludge water content; toxicity of magnetic nanoparticles;

    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

  4. 12. Anammox-based systems for nitrogen removal from mainstream municipal wastewater

    Author : Andriy Malovanyy; Elzbieta Plaza; Adriano Joss; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wastewater; Nitrogen removal; Ion exchange; Deammonification; Anammox; Mainstream; Mark- och vattenteknik; Land and Water Resources Engineering;

    Abstract : Nitrogen removal from municipal wastewater with the application of deammonification process offers an operational cost reduction, especially if it is combined with a maximal use of organic content of wastewater for biogas production. In this thesis, two approaches for integration of the deammonification process into the municipal wastewater treatment scheme were studied. READ MORE

    Abstract : The pulp and paper industry is a large producer of wastewater and sludge, putting high pressure on waste treatment. In addition, more rigorous environmental legislation for pollution control and demands to increase the use of renewable energy have put further pressure on the pulp and paper industry’s waste treatment, where anaerobic digestion (AD) and the production of methane could pose a solution.

  6. 14. Antimicrobials in sewage treatment plants : occurrence, fate and resistance

    Author : Marcus Östman; Mats Tysklind; Jerker Fick; Erik Björn; Klaus Kümmerer; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biocides; antibiotics; sewage treatment plants; wastewater; sludge; ozonation; activated carbon; antibiotic resistance; antimicrobials; mass flows; LC-MS MS; environment; advanced water treatment;

    Abstract : The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified antibiotic resistance as a major threat to human health. The environment has been suggested to play an important role in the emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria. The external environment can act as a source of resistance genes that could potentially be transferred into human pathogens. READ MORE
