Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) emerges as a promising technology to reduce the
volume of activated sewage sludge (SS) and generate solid products as fuels. During HTC …

Vibrio fischeri bioluminescence inhibition bioassay (VFBIA) has been widely applied for the
monitoring of toxicity on account of multiple advantages encompassing shorter test duration …

As a common biological engineering technology, anaerobic digestion can stabilize sewage
sludge and convert the carbon compounds into renewable energy (ie, methane). However …

Biochar, like most other adsorbents, is a carbonaceous material, which is formed from the
combustion of plant materials, in low-zero oxygen conditions and results in a material, which …

Pharmaceutical wastewaters are usually produced by chemical-synthetic process, and thus
contain high levels of organic pollutants, biotoxicity and salinity. Anaerobic technology is a …

Incomplete mineralization of antibiotics in biological sludge systems poses a risk to the
environment. In this study, the toxicity associated with ciprofloxacin (CIP) biodegradation in …

Antibiotics are known as emergent pollutants because of their toxicological properties. Due
