TL;DR: In this article, the influence of secondarily treated municipal wastewater irrigation on the chemical quality of bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L.) turf soil (Sonoita gravelly sandy loam/ coarse-loamy, mixed, thermic Typic Haplargid) when compared to similarly irrigated potable water plots was investigated.
Abstract: Effluent and other secondary waters have become important sources of irrigation water in the U.S. Southwest. Information is inadequate relative to potential long-term effluent irrigation effects on turfgrass and soil chemical quality. The objective of this field research was to determine the influence of secondarily treated municipal wastewater irrigation on the chemical quality of bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L.) turf soil (Sonoita gravelly sandy loam/ coarse-loamy, mixed, thermic Typic Haplargid) when compared to similarly irrigated potable water plots (...)

TL;DR: In this paper, the main pollutants in the photovoltaic cells manufacturing effluent were removed by electrodialysis application, and the results obtained can be used to optimize the pollutant removal recovery at large scale.

TL;DR: In short terms studies, application of 50% PME along with bioamendments proved to be the most useful in improving the properties of sodic soil and also favoured successful germination and improved seedling growth of pearl millet.

TL;DR: It was demonstrated that this method is capable of detecting surface solid-associated viruses originating from sewage treatment plants and no difference in virus recovery between laboratory batch studies and a set-up with acid-salt injection was found.
Abstract: Methods are described for the efficient concentration of an enterovirus from large volumes of tap water, sewage, and seawater. Virus in acidified water (pH 3.5) in the presence of aluminum chloride was adsorbed to a 10-inch (ca. 25.4 cm) fiberglass depth cartridge and a 10-inch pleated epoxy-fiberglass filter in a series at flow rates of up to 37.8 liters (10 gallons) per min. Adsorbed viruses were eluted from the filters with glycine buffer (pH 10.5 to 11.5), and the eluate was reconcentrated by using a combination of aluminum flocculation followed by hydroextraction. With this procedure, poliovirus in large volumes of tap water, seawater, and sewage could be concentrated with an average efficiency of 52, 53, and 50%, respectively. It was demonstrated that this method is capable of detecting surface solid-associated viruses originating from sewage treatment plants. No difference in virus recovery between laboratory batch studies and a set-up with acid-salt injection was found. This unified scheme for the concentration of viruses has many advantages over previously described systems. These include: high operating flow rates, low weight and small size, effectiveness with a variety of waters with widely varying qualities, and filters with a high resistance to clogging.
