Panasiuk, Oleksandr (author), Hedström, Annelie (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Viklander, Maria (author)Infiltration and inflow (I/I) into sanitary sewers causes numerous negative effects on the whole wastewater management system and ultimately, on the receiving waters. Consequently, a number of methods have been developed to analyse the performance of sewer systems with respect to I/I, including: distributed temperature sensing (DTS), closed...journal article 2022

Prot, T.J.F. (author), Korving, L. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author)In a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), several sludge streams exist and the composition of their liquid phase varies with time and place. For evaluating the potential for formation of precipitates and equilibria for weak acids/bases, the ionic strength and chemical composition need to be known. This information is often not available in...journal article 2022

Kumru, B. (author)Solar irradiation provides critical energy to conduct chemical reactions. Many light-sensitive materials, such as semiconductors, guide photoredox-induced chemical pathways to tailor favored chemical conversions. Polymer synthesis by light is popular, however mainly addressed by conducting radical-based polymerization strategies. Oxidative...journal article 2022
