Zhou, Z. (author), Ge, Jianzhong (author), van Maren, D.S. (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), Kuai, Y. (author), Ding, Pingxing (author)Lateral flows redistribute sediment and influence the morphodynamics of channel-shoal systems. However, our understanding of lateral transport of suspended sediment during high and low water slack is still fairly limited, especially in engineered estuaries. Human interventions such as dike-groyne structures influence lateral exchange...journal article 2021

Muñoz Sierra, Julian (author), Oosterkamp, M.J. (author), Wang, W. (author), Spanjers, H. (author), van Lier, J.B. (author)Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) offer an attractive option for treating industrial wastewaters under extreme conditions that might hamper granulation, biomass retention and reduce biological activity. This study assesses the long-term performance of an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor (UASB) and an AnMBR treating highly saline...journal article 2019

Zhou, Z. (author), Ge, Jianzhong (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), van Maren, D.S. (author), Ma, Jianfei (author), Ding, Ping Xing (author)Lateral flow significantly contributes to the near-bottom mass transport of salinity in a channel-shoal system. In this study, an integrated tripod system was deployed in the transition zone of a channel-shoal system of the Changjiang Estuary (CE), China, to observe the near-bottom physics with high temporal/spatial resolution, particularly...journal article 2019

Muñoz Sierra, Julian (author), Oosterkamp, M.J. (author), Wang, W.W. (author), Spanjers, H. (author), van Lier, J.B. (author)Industrial wastewaters are becoming increasingly associated with extreme conditions such as the presence of refractory compounds and high salinity that adversely affect biomass retention or reduce biological activity. Hence, this study evaluated the impact of long-term salinity increase to 20 gNa<sup>+</sup>.L<sup>−1</sup> on the...journal article 2018

Wang, Zhongwei (author), Dunne, Aislinn (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), Saikaly, Pascal E. (author)Saline wastewater is known to affect the performance of phosphate-accumulating organisms (PAOs) in enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) process. However, studies comparing the effect of salinity on different PAO clades are lacking. In this study, 'Candidatus Accumulibacter phosphatis' Clade I and II (hereafter referred to as PAOI and...journal article 2018

Muñoz Sierra, Julian (author), Wang, W.W. (author), Cerqueda Garcia, D. (author), Oosterkamp, M.J. (author), Spanjers, H. (author), van Lier, J.B. (author)This study examined the temperature susceptibility of a continuous-flow lab-scale anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) to temperature shifts from 35 °C to 55 °C and its bioconversion robustness treating synthetic phenolic wastewater at 16 gNa<sup>+.</sup>L<sup>−1</sup>. During the experiment, the mesophilic reactor was subjected to stepwise...journal article 2018
