Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The proposed biological treatment process based on a trickling filter appears as a promising pretreatment step for coping with dye manufacturing wastewaters in terms of removing a significant portion of the organic content.

268 citations

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The chemical oxygen demand (COD) elimination reached 95.3% demonstrating that cheese whey could be efficiently used for hydrogen and methane production, in a two-stage process.

225 citations

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The capability of Pleurotus ostreatus to degrade phenols of OMW in different conditions such as in sterilized and thermally processed wastewater, with and without dilution, is investigated and the pre-treated wastewater was shown to be more amenable to a subsequent anaerobic digestion.

216 citations

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The reverse osmosis concentrate, after a nanofiltration, containing the low-molecular-weight compounds, was further treated with resin adsorption/desorption, for the recovery of phenols and their separation from carbohydrates.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This review brings up important questions that are still open, and addresses some significant issues which must be tackled in the future for a better understanding of the behavior of antibiotics in the environment, as well as the risks associated with their occurrence.

3,620 citations

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The various methods of removal of synthetic dyes from waters and wastewater, employing activated sludge, pure cultures and microbe consortiums are described.

2,885 citations

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The ecotoxicological studies of both drugs imply that they do not easily cause acute toxic effects at their environmental concentrations, however their chronic effects need cautious attention.
