Low cost biosorbent "banana peel" for the removal of phenolic compounds from olive mill wastewater: Kinetic and equilibrium studies

M. Achak, +4 more
- 15 Jul 2009 - 
TL;DR: The results indicate clearly the efficiency of banana peel as a low-cost solution for olive mill wastewaters treatment and give some preliminary elements for the comprehension of the interactions between banana Peel as a bioadsorbent and the very polluting compounds from the olive oil industry.

Nitrogen Removal by a Nitritation-Anammox Bioreactor at Low Temperature

Ziye Hu, +8 more
- 15 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: Investigation of the feasibility of nitrogen removal from synthetic pretreated municipal wastewater by the combination of aerobic ammonium-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and anammox showed that sludge from wastewater treatment plants designed for treating high-ammonium-load wastewaters can be used as seeding sludge for wastewater Treatment plants aimed at treating municipal wastewater that has a low temperature and low ammonium concentrations.

A review of secondary sludge reduction technologies for the pulp and paper industry.

Talat Mahmood, +1 more
- 01 Jun 2006 - 
TL;DR: A critical evaluation of all candidate reduction technologies indicates that sludge reduction through treatment process changes appears more appealing than post-treatment alternatives, and it is unlikely to be economically feasible at this time.

Parameters affecting biological phosphate removal from wastewaters

D Mulkerrins, +2 more
- 01 Apr 2004 - 
TL;DR: Some of the key wastewater composition parameters, which influence the biological removal of phosphate from wastewaters, such as COD content, volatile fatty acid (VFA) content, cation concentration, phosphorus load, pH and food to microorganism ratio are reviewed.

Biological Removal of Nitrogen from Wastewater

Guibing Zhu, +7 more
- 01 Jan 2008 - 
TL;DR: This comprehensive review discusses diverse conventional and novel technologies for nitrogen removal from wastewater that possess distinct advantages in terms of saving configuration, aeration, and carbon sources and calls for extensive research to apply and optimize these novel processes in wastewater treatment plants.
