Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of chromium on activated sludge and on the performance of wastewater treatment plants: A review.
Eleni Vaiopoulou,Petros Gikas +1 more
TL;DR: The present work reviews in a critical way the published literature on chromium effects on activated sludge, and on the operation of wastewater treatment plants, and concludes that clear conclusions cannot be derived about the critical chromium concentrations that affectactivated sludge growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single and combined effects of nickel (Ni(II)) and cobalt (Co(II)) ions on activated sludge and on other aerobic microorganisms : A review
TL;DR: The present review discusses, in a systematic way, the individual and joint effects of the above heavy metals to the growth of microorganisms grown under aerobic conditions, with focus on thegrowth of activated sludge.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of satellite and decentralized strategies in water resources management.
TL;DR: The comparative advantages of satellite and decentralized wastewater management systems for a number of water reuse applications are presented and discussed in this paper and specific issues associated with the application of such systems in existing and in new developments are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics and biogas production potential of municipal solid wastes pretreated with a rotary drum reactor
TL;DR: This study was conducted to determine the characteristics and biogas production potential of organic materials separated from municipal solid wastes using a rotary drum reactor (RDR) process and the change of retention time in the RDR did not show significant influence on theBiogas yields of the recovered organic materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of tri-valent (Cr(III)) and hexa-valent (Cr(VI)) chromium on the growth of activated sludge.
Petros Gikas,Pavlos Romanos +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that Cr(VI) is more toxic to biomass at relatively high concentrations whilst it has a more pronounced growth stimulation effect at relatively smaller concentrations (less than 25 mg l(-1)), compared with Cr(III).
