In order to create alternatives for the disposal of sludge generated in wastewater treatment plants and contribute reducing environmental impacts by construction industry, aim this work was evaluate technical feasibility partially replacing cement production mortars produced at Bragança WWTP. The characterized relation pH, moisture, total solids, organic matter content, underwent different prep...

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) release treated effluent containing mobile genetic elements (MGEs), antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), and microorganisms into the environment, yet little is known about their influence on nearby microbial communities and the retention of these factors in receiving water bodies. Our research aimed to characterize the genes and organisms from two different WW...

EXTENDED ABSTRACT The City College of New York (CCNY) in collaboration with New York City Environmental Protection (NYCEP) is currently engaged in operating a 1700 gallon pilot single stage partial nitritation/anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) at the 26th Ward waste water treatment plant (WWTP) in Brooklyn, NY. The MBBR is designed to remove nitrogen from ...

The development of WWTP in business activities needs to pay attention getting appropriate that is more valuable support sustainable development. This study aims evaluate two systems integrated biological WWTP; anaerobic-wetland, and anaerobic-aerobic-wetland, including the effectiveness pollutant removal, operational maintenance, estimation carbon emissions. performance removal was evaluated by...

in the present study, the increase of organic loading rate (olr) influences the biomethanisation of sewage sludge. the research was conducted at technical scale in wastewater treatment plant in tyrowo (near ostróda, poland). it has been shown that the increase of olr, by adding co-substrates, cause the increase of biogas production but not biogas yield coefficient. the substrates used for anaer...

The concentration of eleven antibiotics (trimethoprim, oxytetracycline, ciprofloxacin, azithromycin, cefotaxime, doxycycline, sulfamethoxazole, erythromycin, clarithromycin, ofloxacin, norfloxacin), three decongestants (naphazoline, oxymetazoline, xylometazoline) and the antiviral drug oseltamivir's active metabolite, oseltamivir carboxylate (OC), were measured weekly at 21 locations within the...

This study aims at modelling the daily concentrations of nonylphenolic compounds such as 4-nonylphenol (4-NP), nonylphenol monoethoxylate (NP1EO) and nonylphenoxy acetic acid (NP1EC) within the Seine River downstream of Paris City for over a year, firstly in the present state (year 2010) and for years 2050 and 2100 in order to assess the consequences of global change on the fate of nonylphenoli...

Sewerage systems-related solid waste accumulates in considerable quantities urban water systems, including rainwater drainage pipes, pumping stations, grease traps, grit chambers, and septic tanks. Traditional management methods, such as sanitary landfilling, incineration, composting, not only endanger the environment but also consume a significant amount of land. To address this problem, varie...
