Modeling nanomaterial fate in wastewater treatment: Monte Carlo simulation of silver nanoparticles (nano-Ag).

Christine Ogilvie Hendren, +3 more
- 01 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: A mass-balance representation of engineered nanomaterial (ENM) behavior is developed based on a minimal number of input variables to describe release quantities to the environment and shows that significant differences in the removal of silver nanoparticles can be expected based on the type of engineered coatings used to stabilize these materials in suspension.

Influence of hydraulic loading and air flowrate on urban wastewater nitrogen removal with a submerged fixed-film reactor.

J.M Gálvez, +3 more
- 18 Jul 2003 - 
TL;DR: This paper studies a nitrification and post-denitrification lab-scale plant with a downflow aerobic submerged filter for removal of organic matter and nitrification, followed by an anoxic upflow biofilter for denitrification, which complied with the EU regulation on nitrogen disposal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Removal of Cu(II) ions from aqueous streams using poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylamide) hydrogels

Eulogio Orozco-Guareño, +7 more
- 15 Sep 2010 - 
TL;DR: The copper uptake achieved suggests the potential use of hydrogels to extract toxic metals from industrial aqueous streams and swelling results indicated that, by appropriate selection of cross-linking agent amount and monomer ratio, hydrogel can be swollen up to 70,000%.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of bed media characteristics on ammonia and nitrate removal in shallow horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands.

Antonio Albuquerque, +3 more
- 01 Dec 2009 - 
TL;DR: Two bed media were tested (gravel and Filtralite) in shallow horizontal subsurface flow (HSSF) constructed wetlands in order to evaluate the removal of ammonia and nitrate for different types of wastewater (acetate-based and domestic wastewater) and different COD/N ratios.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anaerobic treatment of domestic sewage at low temperature

T.A. Elmitwalli, +2 more
- 01 Aug 2001 - 
TL;DR: Both batch and continuous experiments for the treatment of domestic sewage showed that the removal of SS prior to anaerobic treatment ofDomestic sewage not only provides a stable reactor performance but also improves the Removal of both colloidal (CODcol) and dissolved COD (C ODdis).
