Mostafa Mohamed Abdelsadek Elshourbagy, Mostafa (author)Aromatic compounds have always been of concern regarding their toxicity to living organisms, including microorganisms. With more anthropogenic activities (e.g. coal gasification), the need for feasible treatment of industrial effluents is highly prioritised. With the anaerobic degradation process being a competitive solution, these compounds’...master thesis 2023

Muñoz Sierra, Julian (author)Industrial wastewaters generated in chemical industries are often characterized by extreme conditions, such as the presence of complex, recalcitrant, and toxic aromatic compounds, high temperature, and high salinity. The mentioned conditions predominantly occur when chemical industries reduce process water use or strive for closing water loops....doctoral thesis 2022

Odriozola, Magela (author), van Lier, J.B. (author), Spanjers, H. (author)Flux enhancers (FEs) have been successfully applied for fouling mitigation in membrane bioreactors. However, more research is needed to compare and optimise different dosing strategies to improve the filtration performance, while minimising the use of FEs and preventing overdosing. Therefore, the goal of this research is to develop an...journal article 2022

Garcia Rea, V.S. (author), Egerland Bueno, B. (author), Cerqueda-Garcia, Daniel (author), Muñoz Sierra, Julian (author), Spanjers, H. (author), van Lier, J.B. (author)Treating petrochemical wastewater is a challenge for conventional anaerobic reactors. One example is coal gasification wastewater that, besides its salinity, is rich in toxic and inhibitory aromatics, such as phenol, cresols, and resorcinol. Studies have shown that phenol and p-cresol share the same degradation intermediates, whereas...journal article 2022

Ek, Sovannmonica (author)Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) is an attractive medium for biogas production in an anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) because of its high lipid content. Long-chain fatty acid (LCFA) accumulation is toxic and considered harmful for the biological performance within the reactor as they can be absorbed by biomass particles causing sludge...student report 2021
