  2. 1. 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.

  4. 2. Production of polyhydroxyalkanoates in biological treatment of industrial wastewaters

    Author : Simon Bengtsson; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; polyhydroxyalkanoates; mixed cultures; glycogen accumulating organisms GAO ; feast and famine; acidogenic fermentation; activated sludge;

    Abstract : In search of more environmentally friendly polymer materials, polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) have been considered as promising candidates. PHAs exhibit a broad range of material properties, can be produced from renewable resources and are completely biodegradable. READ MORE

  5. 3. Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal - Carbon Sources, Nitrate as Electron Acceptor, and Characterisation of the Sludge Community

    Author : Magnus Christensson; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; activated sludge; nitrate; carbon source; PAO; polyphosphate accumulating organisms; enhanced biological phosphorus removal; EBPR; characterisation; Biotechnology; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) was studied in laboratory scale experiments as well as in a full scale EBPR process. The studies were focused on carbon source transformations, the use of nitrate as an electron acceptor and characterisation of the microflora. READ MORE

  6. 4. Removal processes in sewage treatment plants : Sludge quality and treatment efficiency of structurally diverse organic compounds

    Author : Ulrika Olofsson; Peter Haglund; Staffan Lundstedt; Juliane Hollender; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Environmetrics; flame retardants; GCxGC; non-targeted screening; mass flow; metals; plasticizers; poorly removed contaminants; POP; PPCP; prediction; Principal Component Analysis; removal efficiency; sewage; sewage treatment plants; sludge; sludge adsorption; sources; time-trend analysis; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi;

    Abstract : Large and ever-increasing numbers of chemicals, including large quantities of a broad spectrum of organic compounds are used in modern society. More than 30 000 of the more than 100 000 chemical substances registered in the EU are estimated to be daily used, of which many will be discharged into the waste-streams handled by municipal sewage treatment plants (STPs).

  7. 5. Microbial Phosphorus Removal in Waste Stabilisation Pond Wastewater Treatment Systems

    Author : Lydia Ambakisye Mbwele; Gunnel Dalhmmar; Ingrid Faye; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wastewater treatment; waste stabilisation ponds; activated sludge; biological phosphorus removal; tropical climate; A.hydrophylla; Bioengineering; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : Waste Stabilisation Ponds (WSPs) are characterised by low phosphorus (P) removal capacity. Heterotrophic bacteria are principal microbial agents in WSPs in addition to algae. READ MORE
