  2. 6. Improvement of Wastewater Sludge Digestion

    Author : Michael Recktenwald; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Anaerobic digestion; biogas; cation-binding agents; enzymes; enzymatic activity; extracellular polymeric substances EPS ; industrial scale trials; methanization; municipal sewage; sludge treatment; wastewater treatment plant;

    Abstract : The reduction of sludge volumes for disposal is a topic of high interest for wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) all over the world. Steadily increasing volumes for disposal create an economic, environmental, legislative and technological challenge. READ MORE

  4. 7. Sludge from pulp and paper mills for biogas production : Strategies to improve energy performance in wastewater treatment and sludge management

    Author : Alina Hagelqvist; Thomas Nilsson; Karin M. Granström; Bengt Månsson; Bo Mattiasson; Thomas Welander; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; anaerobic digestion; pulp and paper mill sludge; methane production; energy efficient sludge management; Miljö- och energisystem; Environmental and Energy Systems;

    Abstract : The production of pulp and paper is associated with the generation of large quantities of wastewater that has to be purified to avoid severe pollution of the environment. Wastewater purification in pulp and paper mills combines sedimentation, biological treatment, chemical precipitation, flotation and anaerobic treatment, and the specific combination of techniques is determined by the local conditions.

  5. 8. Change of toxicity during secondary treatment of industrial sludge containing nitroaromatics

    Author : Lillemor Gustavsson; Magnus Engwall; Anna Schnürer; Ulrika Welander; Mårten Jönsson; Bo Mattiasson; Göran Dave; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Anaerobic; aerobic; AhR agonists; CALUX; constructed wetlands; Danio rerio; embryotoxicity; genotoxicity; nitroaromatics; sludge; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik; Enviromental Science; Miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Wastewater treatment plants in Sweden are facing a great challenge due to the prohibition of depositing organic waste which gained legal force in January 2005. Biological and commercial available alternatives to disposal are composting and anaerobic digestion. READ MORE

  6. 9. 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

  7. 10. Improved life cycle assessment of wastewater and sludge management with resource recovery

    Author : Sara Heimersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; allocation; LCA; sludge treatment; resource utilisation; sludge handling; biosolids; pathogen risks; wastewater treatment;

    Abstract : Around the world every day, large amounts of wastewater are treated before release, to avoid impacts on humans and the environment. The treatment requires resources in the form of energy and chemicals, and it generates large amounts of sewage sludge, however, it can also serve as a source of energy, nutrients and carbon. READ MORE
