  2. 1. Investigations of the microbial diversity and dynamics in activated sludge using molecular methods

    Author : Johan Fredriksson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wastewater treatment; 16S rRNA; population dynamics; terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism; microbial ecology; Archaea; activated sludge; Bacteria;

    Abstract : Wastewater treatment is necessary to reduce the health risks and environmental impacts associated with discharge of untreated wastewater. The most common way to treat wastewater in wastewater treatment plants is through the activated sludge process. READ MORE

  4. 2. 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

  5. 3. Anaerobic treatment of wastewater in a UASB reactor

    Author : Larisa Korsak; Luis Moreno; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Anaerobic treatment; UASB; granular biomass; methanogenic activity; modelling; axial dispersion; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Abstract : The anaerobic treatment of waste water has been studied with an emphasis on the Up- flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) reactor. A model to describe the processes occurring in a UASB reactor was developed and an experimental study of the anaerobic wastewater treatment systems in Nicaragua was also performed. READ MORE

  6. 4. Microbial communities in anammox and nitrifying biofilms

    Author : Carolina Suarez; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biofilms; AOB; partial nitritation anammox; nitrification; wastewater;

    Abstract : Excess of nitrogen in water bodies causes eutrophication. One important source of nitrogen is the effluent from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Nitrogen in wastewater is most commonly removed by nitrification-denitrification. READ MORE

  7. 5. Co-digestion of microalgae and sewage sludge - A feasibility study for municipal wastewater treatment plants

    Author : Jesper Olsson; Eva Thorin; Sebastian Schwede; Emma Nehrenheim; Raúl Muñoz Torre; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Microalgae; Anaerobic digestion; dewaterability; BMP-experiments; Energy- and Environmental Engineering; energi- och miljöteknik;

    Abstract : The increased emissions of anthropogenic greenhouse gases over the last 100 years is the reason for the acceleration in the greenhouse effect, which has led to an increase of the globally averaged combined land and ocean surface temperature of 0.85 °C between 1880 and 2012. READ MORE
