Bertelkamp, Cheryl (author), Pieke, Eelco (author), Struker, Andre (author), Traast, Olivia (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author)Hoewel de rwzi’s Amsterdam-West en Horstermeer meer dan 99,8% van de microplastics verwijderen, blijft het absolute aantal dat in het milieu terechtkomt aanzienlijk. Tevens bleek dat één industriële textielwasserij verantwoordelijk is voor 13% van het totale aantal microplastics dat de rioolwaterzuivering binnenkomt.journal article 2024

(author)Organic micropollutants (OMPs) enter the aquatic environment via municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). As conventional WWTPs have limited capacity for the removal of OMPs, additional processes are required, like ozone - granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration. A specific lay-out of this process is the O3-STEP® process, in which the...journal article 2024

Trikannad, S.A. (author), van Halem, D. (author), Foppen, J.W.A. (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author)Slow Sand Filtration is popular in drinking water treatment for the removal of a wide range of contaminants (e.g., particles, organic matter, and microorganisms). The Schmutzdecke in slow sand filters (SSFs) is known to be essential for pathogen removal, however, this layer is also responsible for increased head loss. Since the role of deeper...journal article 2023
