Journal ArticleDOI

Advances in enhanced biological phosphorus removal: from micro to macro scale.

Adrian Oehmen, +6 more
- 01 Jun 2007 - 
TL;DR: This review paper critically assesses the recent advances that have been achieved in this field, particularly relating to the areas of EBPR microbiology, biochemistry, process operation and process modelling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Denitrifying phosphorus removal: Linking the process performance with the microbial community structure

Gilda Carvalho, +3 more
- 01 Nov 2007 - 
TL;DR: The results suggested that the anoxic glycogen production rate in the acetate SBR was insufficient to support the anaerobic glycogen demand for acetate uptake, and it is hypothesised that the coccus morphotype corresponds to an Accumulibacter strain that is unable to use nitrate as electron acceptor but is able to use oxygen and possibly nitrite.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of pH on the competition between polyphosphate-accumulating organisms and glycogen-accumulating organisms.

Mónica Carvalheira, +4 more
- 01 Sep 2005 - 
TL;DR: The results from this study suggest that pH could be used as a control parameter to reduce the undesirable proliferation of GAOs and improve phosphorus removal in EBPR systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photodegradation kinetics and transformation products of ketoprofen, diclofenac and atenolol in pure water and treated wastewater

Ricardo Salgado, +12 more
- 15 Jan 2013 - 
TL;DR: Ketoprofen had the highest time- and fluence-based rate constants in all experiments, whereas atenolol had the lowest values, which is consistent with the corresponding decadic molar absorption coefficient and quantum yield.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessing the removal of pharmaceuticals and personal care products in a full-scale activated sludge plant

Ricardo Salgado, +5 more
- 01 Jun 2012 - 
TL;DR: Results show that incomplete removal of diclofenac, the compound that was found in the highest abundance, was observed via biodegradation and adsorption, and that UV photolysis was the main removal mechanism for this compound.
