Sulfate-rich wastewaters are generated by many industrial processes that use sulfuric acid
or sulfate-rich feed stocks (eg, fermentation or sea food processing industry). Also, the use of …

Biofilm composition and activity are two important parameters for the successful operation
and control of fixed film processes in water and wastewater treatment. Widely used …

Wastewater Microbiology focuses on microbial contaminants found in wastewater, methods
of detection for these contaminants, and methods of cleansing water of microbial …

Using a continuum approach and observing conservation principles, an analytical
mathematical model of microbial interaction in biofilms was developed. The model predicts …

The immobilization of whole cells involves the retention of catalytically active cells within a
restricted region of a bioreactor. Techniques which have been used to immobilize whole …

Intensive aquaculture in recirculating systems is rapidly developing, and with it arises the
need for reliable treatment systems. To enable reuse of water in these systems, biological …

The ultrastructure of bacterial granules that were maintained in an upflow anaerobic sludge
bed and filter reactor was examined. The reactor was fed a sucrose medium, and it was …

Rotating biological contactors (RBCs) for wastewater treatment began in the 1970s.
Removal of organic matter has been targeted within organic loading rates of up to 120 gm …

Until recently, biological treatment of sulphate-rich wastewater was rather unpopular
because of the production of H 2 S under anaerobic conditions. Gaseous and dissolved …

Interactions among bacterial populations can have a profound influence on the structure and
physiology of microbial communities. Interspecies microbial interactions begin to influence a …
