Rotating biological contactors (RBCs) constitute a very unique and superior alternative for
biodegradable matter and nitrogen removal on account of their feasibility, simplicity of …

In wastewater treatment processes, and particularly in activated sludge systems, efficiency is
quite dependent on the operating conditions, and a number of problems may arise due to …

The activated sludge (AS) process is the most common type of secondary wastewater
treatment, applied worldwide. Due to the complexity of microbial communities, imbalances …

This study investigated the degradation performance and mechanism of extracellular
antibiotic resistance genes (eARGs) by nematodes using batch degradation experiments …

This study attempted to investigate the influence of operation mode and wastewater strength
on startup period, aerobic granular sludge (AGS) characteristics, and system effluent quality …

Microalgal biomass harvesting by inducing spontaneous flocculation (bioflocculation) sets
an attractive approach, since neither chemicals nor energy are needed. Indeed …

This study aims at optimizing the anaerobic digestion (AD) of biomass in microalgal-based
wastewater treatment systems. It comprises the co-digestion of microalgae with primary …

This book provides information essential to students taking courses in biotechnology as part
of environmental sciences, environmental management, or environmental biology programs …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the settling velocity distribution of microalgal biomass
with and without flocculant (Tanfloc SG). Microalgal biomass was obtained from two …

In a membrane bioreactor (MBR) system, in situ sludge reduction techniques induce
membrane fouling. To address this challenge, we incorporated a rotating mesh carrier …
