Treatment of High-Strength Pharmaceutical Wastewater and Removal of Antibiotics in Anaerobic and Aerobic Biological Treatment Processes

Ping Zhou, +3 more
- 01 Jan 2006 - 
TL;DR: The result indicated that a combination anaerobic-aerobic treatment system was effective in removing organic matter from the high-strength pharmaceutical wastewater, and the biodegradability of the wastewater was studied.

Removal of benzene traces from contaminated water by vacuum membrane distillation

Fawzi Banat, +1 more
- 01 Apr 1996 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated vacuum membrane distillation as a possible alternative technique for the removal of volatile organic compounds from contaminated water and proposed a mechanism for the trans-membrane removal of benzene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antimicrobial use and resistance in swine waste treatment systems.

Archana Jindal, +6 more
- 01 Dec 2006 - 
TL;DR: The levels of tetracycline and MLSB resistance remained high throughout the waste treatment systems, suggesting that the potential impact of land application of treated wastes and waste treatment by-products on environmental levels of resistance should be investigated further.

Biomass growth and activity in a membrane bioreactor with complete sludge retention.

Alfieri Pollice, +2 more
- 01 Apr 2004 - 
TL;DR: Under equilibrium conditions the bench scale membrane bioreactor showed very limited sludge production and low biomass activity, although it readily responded to load variations, and showed that these systems are easy to manage and very rapid to start-up.

Measurement of biomass activity in drinking water biofilters using a respirometric method.

Daniel Urfer, +1 more
- 01 Apr 2001 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple respirometric method was developed and applied for the measurement of biomass activity in bench-scale drinking water biofilters, which indicated a high sensitivity allowing the quantification of the activity of low amounts of biomass.
