Long-term effects of sulphide on the enhanced biological removal of phosphorus
The symbiotic role of Thiothrix caldifontis
Thiothrix caldifontis was the dominant microorganism (with an estimated bio-volume of 65 ± 3%) in a lab-scale enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) system containing 100 mg of sulphide per litre in the influent. After a gradual exposure to the presence of sulphide, the EB

Removal of contaminants of emerging concern from the supernatant of anaerobically digested sludge by O<sub>3</sub> and O<sub>3</sub>/H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>
Ozone requirements, effects of the matrix, and toxicity
Digestate is a rich source of nutrients that can be applied in agricultural fields as fertilizer or irrigation water. However, most of the research about application of digestate have focused on its agronomic properties and neglected the potential harm of the presence of contamin

Candidatus Accumulibacter phosphatis is in general presented as the dominant organism responsible for the biological removal of phosphorus in activated sludge wastewater treatment plants. Lab-scale enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) studies, usually use acetate as carb

The concentration of sulphate present in wastewater can vary from 10 to 500 mg SO4 2−/L. During anaerobic conditions, sulphate is reduced to sulphide by sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB). Sulphide generation is undesired in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Previous res

Autotrophic Nitrogen Removal from Low Concentrated Effluents
Study of system configurations and operational features for post-treatment of anaerobic effluents
On a global scale, sewage represents the main point-source of water pollution and is also the predominant source of nitrogen contamination in urban regions. The present research is focused on the study of the main challenges that need to be addressed in order to achieve a success
