Elevated levels of ammonia in discharged water leads to eutrophication and potential toxicity in water bodies. To combat nitrogen pollution, strict ammonium discharge limits of 1 mgNH<sub>4</sub>-N/L standard is set by the water framework directory. In many cases, current wastewater treatment facilities struggle to consistently meet this...

Globally, drinking water sources are polluted with poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The toxicity and persistent properties of these industrial chemicals raised concerns about environmental and public health. As a result, drinking water companies are removing PFAS from drinking water using separation technologies. Anion exchange and...

Magnesium is one of the most critical natural resources and 96% of magnesium used in Europe is imported. The present study investigated possible ways of implementing circularity in the magnesium cycle within the borders of Waternet, a water utility in the Netherlands. The wastewater treatment plant at Amsterdam-West produces struvite from...

The brine generated from desalination is a threat to the environment, and its disposal has been a great challenge. A new concept Zero liquid discharge (ZLD) can minimize the environmental impact of brine. However, the high costs for construction and running of a ZLD plant limits its growth in desalination market. Therefore, a new strategy...

The aim of this research was to evaluate the feasibility of direct hollow fiber nanofiltration membranes for drinking water purposes. The experiments were performed on the dNF40 pilot provided by NXF. The fouling potential and the ion retention of the dNF40 pilot were determined by continuous filtration experiments using raw IJssellake water...

In this research, a few initiatives were completed with practical industrial information and water samples from Heineken®. A Python model was built for an imaginary bottle washer, and tested with difference operational variables under the four testing scenarios. Based on the operational information fromthe Spanish brewery, a second Python model...

Colloidal fouling has attracted increasing interest in the membrane field. Oil and water (O/W) emulsion droplet and Extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) are significant colloids in produced water and surface water, respectively. Oily wastewater is produced in many industrial processes such as oil and gas extraction processes, and can take a...

A reverse osmosis (RO) membrane followed by a packed tower aerator and rapid sand filter are used by an agricultural company in Emmen to treat brackish groundwater to supply water for growing crops and cleaning purposes. The iron removal by the treatment plant is sufficient most of the time throughout the year. However, the farmer periodically ...

The removal of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in the aquatic environment is crucial to avoid health hazards. Zeolites have been confirmed as a selective adsorbent and can effectively remove target OMPs. To achieve sustainable application of adsorbents, regeneration of zeolites is required. <br/>The objective of this study was to investigate the...

Dissolved air flotation (DAF) is a water treatment technology meant for the separation of suspended particles from the water. Since the fifties of the XIX century, it has gained an important role in many sectors of water treatment applications. In general, the flux variability, the small space requirement, and the limited energy consumption...

The wide application of pesticides, pharmaceuticals and personal care products cause an increasing contamination of aquatic systems. Adsorption by zeolites is a promising process to remove target organic micro-pollutants (OMPs) selectively from water bodies. In order to have a sustainable adsorption process, restoring the adsorption capacity of...

In drinking water production, natural organic matter (NOM) is sometimes removed using ion exchange (IEX) resin. This treatment method has a limitation based on the exchanging capacity on the resin. Therefore, the resin needs to be regenerated when it is saturated with adsorbed NOM which leads to the production of brine. In general, NaCl is used...

As freshwater resources are predicted to become more scarce in the future, desalination will become a more prevalent treatment method. Microbial desalination, defined as the use of microbial processes to remove ions from a saline solution, may have potential as a new desalination method to produce water for domestic, agricultural or industrial...

UV/chlorine, as an emerging advanced oxidation process, is able to degrade organic micropollutants in water via the generation of reactive oxidant species and direct reaction with HOCl/OCl- as well. In this study, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were applied as the UV sources to investigate the efficacy of UV/chlorine process for the degradation of...

Resources recovery from wastewater is pursued as it facilitates a circular economy, which a society runs with a minimal environmental impact. Eutectic freeze crystallisation (EFC) has been identified as a potential technology that can assist to achieve such goal. High quality of salt and ice can be retrieved with this treatment with a note of...

Water scarcity emphasizes the necessity of water recovery from saline sources, which are plentifully available. Nanofiltration (NF) is widely implemented in water reclamation treatment particularly in industrial field. However, the presence of silica hinders the possibility of obtaining a high recovery in a NF membrane system. In this work, the...
