TL;DR: This handbook is to be the definitive resource of current knowledge on the diverse and multifaceted aspects of these interactions, the microbial players, and the physiological mechanisms and adaptive strategies characteristic of the microbial lifestyle that plays out at hydrophobic material: aqueous liquid interfaces.

TL;DR: The catalytic effect of commercial microporous activated carbon and macroporous carbon nanotubes is investigated in reductive bioreactions in continuous high rate anaerobic reactors, using azo dye Acid Orange 10 as model compound as electron acceptor and a mixture of VFA as electron donor.

TL;DR: It was found that the bacterial domain was more affected than the archaeal domain during this process, however, no acetoclastic activity and onlya residual hydrogenotrophic activity were detected in the sludge at the end of the operation.

TL;DR: The digested sludge from the wastewater treatment plant led to the lowest lag-phase period and higher methane potential rate and the higher specific methane production was of 317 mL CH(4)g(-1) VS(substrate) for 2.0% TS.

TL;DR: A photocatalytic reactor with UV/TiO2 was used for the posttreatment of olive mill wastewater after anaerobic digestion and the TPh removal efficiency, the color removal efficiency decreased with increasing COD concentration and pH, and the COD removal efficiency is directly linked with the treatment time.
