1. Nitrogen Removal in Created Wetlands : Considerations – Challenges – Possibilities
Abstract : Created wetlands in agricultural landscapes deliver a multitude of ecosystem services, one of which is the removal of nitrogen (N) from water to reduce eutrophication. Wetland N removal, primarily through denitrification, is influenced by various factors. READ MORE

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

3. Algal-Bacterial Photobioreactors for the Degradation of Toxic Organic Pollutants
Abstract : The aerobic biodegradation of toxic organic volatile contaminants is always limited by the low aqueous solubility of O2. Therefore, intensive bubbling or surface aeration is required to supply the bacterial community with sufficient O2 to carry out pollutant mineralization. This can cause the hazardous volatilization of toxic volatile contaminants. READ MORE

4. Extending Wastewater Treatment Process Models for Phosphorus Removal and Recovery : A Framework for Plant-Wide Modelling of Phosphorus, Sulfur and Iron
Abstract : As problems associated with shortage in resource supply arise, wastewater treatment plants turn to innovation to transform themselves into resource recovery facilities. Water groups worldwide recognize that wastewater treatment plants are no longer disposal facilities but rather sources of clean water, energy and nutrients. READ MORE

5. Dynamics of nutrient mass transport : A river basin evaluation
Abstract : Human settlements and activities can dramatically change and accelerate the rate of eutrophication in a river basin. An undesirable increase in the input of nutrients, e.g. phosphorus and nitrogen, to a surface water causes adverse water quality conditions. READ MORE
