TL;DR: The results confirmed that all dairy processing effluents can be treated together, with the exception of whey, whose complex biodegradation demands may cause too much burden to any wastewater treatment technological system and thus should be managed within a separate installation.

TL;DR: Evidence was found which suggested that the species structure of the protozoa population in activated sludge was in some way associated with the quality of effluent delivered, and a method was devised which enables the assessment of the average effluent quality delivered from a knowledge of the species present in the sludge.

TL;DR: Assessment of this technology should take into account higher pesticide concentrations and how this factor affects both the photocatalytic and the biological oxidation.

TL;DR: The removal ratio of human noroviruses was almost constant, independent of the initial concentration of the viruses in raw sewage, which led to the increasing concentration of human Norovirus in final effluent in winter.

TL;DR: In this paper, a column with an inner diameter of 7 cm (2.75 cm) and a length of 61 cm (24 cm) using biochar as filter media was constructed to examine its effectiveness for the removal of mixed contaminants from synthetic storm water.
Abstract: Urban storm water runoff can carry a wide range of contaminants, many of which exceed federal maximum contaminant levels, into surface water resources (e.g., rivers and lakes). The use of filtration systems has received greater attention for its potential to remove particulate matter and other contaminants. Biochar is expected to have excellent potential as an adsorbent or filter given its large surface area and microporous structure. This study evaluated the potential use of biochar as a filter media through a series of column experiments. A column with an inner diameter of 7 cm (2.75 in.) and a length of 61 cm (24 in.) using biochar as filter media was constructed to examine its effectiveness for the removal of mixed contaminants [total suspended solids (TSS), nutrients, heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and E. coli] from synthetic storm water. The results demonstrated that this filter reduced the TSS in the storm water effluent by an average of 86% and the concentrations of...
