Abstract: Performance data of upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors treating different types of wastewater have been analyzed. A completely stirred tank reactor (CSTR) model with bypass flow was considered for evaluation ...

Abstract: Phosphorus is a key nutrient responsible for eutrophication. Conventional activated sludge process (ASP) removes approximately 30 to 40% phosphorus. Additional phosphorus removal has been achieved by incorporating an ...

Abstract: Specific ultraviolet absorbance (SUVA) is the ratio of ultraviolet absorbance (UVA) to dissolved organic carbon (DOC) or UVA per unit of DOC. The octanol water partition coefficient (

Abstract: Batch bioassay tests were conducted to evaluate the effect of particulate chemical oxygen demand (COD)

Abstract: A study of sorption of aqueous organics by aquifer materials was undertaken with an objective to correlate sorption parameters with the octanol-water partition coefficient (KOW) of aqueous samples. In the first phase, ...

Abstract: Anaerobic degradation of phenol mixed with a readily degradable synthetic wastewater (DSWW) as a cosubstrate was studied in a

Abstract: Heavy metals and other trace contaminants enter surface and groundwater in various ways and adversely affect fauna and flora. Thus, the removal of such impurities is necessary. The heavy metals, in general, are either ...

Abstract: Enhanced biological phosphorus removal is a two-step process. The sequence of anaerobic environment followed by aerobic environment is essential for selection of biological phosphorus-removing culture. Anaerobically, ...

Abstract: The treatment of effluent of pilot- and full-scale upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors operating at steady state was studied in an aeration-settling system. The fine pore submerged diffusers were used to aerate ...
