Microbial population dynamics were evaluated in anaerobic codigesters treating municipal solid waste and sewage sludge. Ribosomal RNA based oligonucleotide probes were used to characterize changes in population abundance of syntrophic volatile fatty acid degrading bacteria and methanogens. Changes in community structure were linked to traditional performance parameters during the recovery of pr...

This study investigates the oxidative transformation of diethylenetriaminepentaacetate (DTPA), a synthetic ligand, during drinking water ozonation. The rate coefficients for the reactions of CaDTPA and ZnDTPA with ozone were determined to be 6200 and 3500 150M 1 s , respectively. The reactivity of Fe(III)DTPA towards ozone was found to be much lower ð510 M 1 s Þ, but near neutral pH the reactiv...

Breaking down the time limit constraints for conventional compression–permeation (C–P) cell test, this work has, for the first time, experimentally evaluated the cake characteristics of viable wasteactivated sludge subject to polyelectrolyte flocculation and to freeze/thaw treatment under a pressure range of 25–200 kPa. There exists a threshold pressure exceeding which the cake structure would ...
