Journal ArticleDOI
Greenhouse gas emissions from different sewage sludge treatment methods in north
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from sewage sludge treatment methods and created a calculator suitable for the Northern Finland context, which can be used to select the locally most suitable method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of metals from industrial wastewater and urban runoff by mineral and bio-based sorbents.
TL;DR: Column tests revealed that both HCl-P and AQM PalPower M10 were able to remove metals, although some leaching was witnessed, especially As from AQm Pal power M10, which may restrict the possibilities of using such small particle size peat material in a filter-type passive system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term purification efficiency and factors affecting performance in peatland-based treatment wetlands : an analysis of 28 peat extraction sites in Finland

TL;DR: In this paper, the long-term treatment performance of peatland-based treatment wetlands and factors affecting this performance were analyzed. But the results indicated that not all the areas potentially suitable in DOFAs for water purification are yet being used efficiently.
Journal ArticleDOI
What conditions favor the influence of seasonally frozen ground on hydrological partitioning? A systematic review

TL;DR: The influence of seasonally frozen ground (SFG) on water, energy, and solute fluxes is important in cold climate regions as mentioned in this paper, however, the reported hydrological effects of SFG remain contradictory and appear to be highly site and event-specific.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of metals from wastewaters by mineral and biomass-based sorbents applied in continuous-flow continuous stirred tank reactors followed by sedimentation.
TL;DR: Evaluating the suitability of selected sorbents for use in continuous-flow continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTR) followed by sedimentation in laboratory and in situ pilot-scale experiments found higher metal removal was achieved from samples with higher initial metal concentrations.
