A review of the source, behaviour and distribution of arsenic in natural waters

Pauline Smedley, +1 more
- 01 May 2002 - 
TL;DR: The scale of the problem in terms of population exposed to high As concentrations is greatest in the Bengal Basin with more than 40 million people drinking water containing ‘excessive’ As as mentioned in this paper.

Reverse osmosis desalination: Water sources, technology, and today's challenges

Lauren F. Greenlee, +4 more
- 01 May 2009 - 
TL;DR: Key parameters of an RO process and process modifications due to feed water characteristics are brought to light by a direct comparison of seawater and brackish water RO systems.

Metals, minerals and microbes: geomicrobiology and bioremediation

Geoffrey M. Gadd
- 01 Mar 2010 - 
TL;DR: The ubiquity and importance of microbes in biosphere processes make geomicrobiology one of the most important concepts within microbiology, and one requiring an interdisciplinary approach to define environmental and applied significance and underpin exploitation in biotechnology.

The chemical cycle and bioaccumulation of mercury

François M. M. Morel, +2 more
- 01 Nov 1998 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the methylmercury concentration in water is determined by the relative efficiency of the methylation and demethylation processes, and it is shown that anoxic waters and sediments are an important source of methylcury, apparently due to the methylating activity of sulfatereducing bacteria.

Influence of loosely bound extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) on the flocculation, sedimentation and dewaterability of activated sludge.

Xiao-yan Li, +1 more
- 01 Mar 2007 - 
TL;DR: Although EPS is essential to sludge floc formation, excessive EPS in the form of LB-EPS could weaken cell attachment and the floc structure, resulting in poor bioflocculation, greater cell erosion and retarded sludge-water separation.
