Modelling the fate of micropollutants through wastewater treatment plants is of present
concern. Indeed, such a tool is useful to increase the removal of micropollutants and reduce …

Municipal wastewaters contain a multitude of organic trace pollutants. Often, their
biodegradability by activated sludge microorganisms is decisive for their elimination during …

Sludge generated at sewage treatment plants is of environmental concern due to the
voluminous production and the presence of a high concentration of emerging contaminants …

Ammonia-rich substrates inhibit the anaerobic digestion (AD) process and constitute the
main reason for low energy recovery in full-scale reactors. It is estimated that many full-scale …

While there has been a significant recent improvement in the removal of pollutants in natural
and engineered systems, trace organic chemicals (TrOCs) are posing a major threat to …

Many scientific studies present removal efficiencies for pharmaceuticals in laboratory-, pilot-,
and full-scale wastewater treatment plants, based on observations that may be impacted by …

Addition of external carbon sources to post-denitrification systems is frequently used in
wastewater treatment plants to enhance nitrate removal. However, little is known about the …

Carbamazepine and diclofenac have been pointed out as important markers for
environmental pollution by pharmaceuticals. This study reports on the isolation of bacterial …

Biotransformation of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in wastewater treatment plants
ultimately depends on the enzymatic activities developed in each biological process …

Being electron acceptors, the amount of nitrate (nitrite) significantly affect the benzo (a)
pyrene (BaP) biodegradation of Microbacterium sp. under denitrifying conditions. In the …
