Performance Evaluation of Overland Flow Wastewater Treatment System under Winter and Summer Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of seasonal variations, summer and winter conditions, on the performance of an existing and successfully operated overland flow wastewater treatment system in the Midwest. The ...
Effect of SRT on Nutrient Removal in SBR System
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effect of solids retention time (SRT) on chemical oxygen demand (COD) degradation and nutrients removal was studied in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR). SRT of 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 days was studied. A laboratory ...
Isolation and Characterization of Protease Producing Bacteria from Quebec Soil and Water Samples
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Seventy-four bacterial isolates were recovered from 10 protein rich soil and water samples collected from Quebec City. On the basis of colony size, texture, and microscopic characteristics, the isolates were categorized ...
Development of a Natural Treatment System for Stream Water Purification: Mechanisms and Environmental Impacts Evaluation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A constructed wetland type natural treatment system was built in southern Taiwan for stream water purification and natural habitat creation. The system influent (influent rate =

Bacterial Leaching of Metals from Tannery Sludge by Indigenous Sulphur-Oxidizing Bacteria—Effect of Sludge Solids Concentration
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An investigation on the effect of sludge solids concentration on bioleaching of Cr(III) and other metals from tannery sludge by indigenous sulphur-oxidizing bacteria was carried out. The sludge solids concentrations ranged ...
<i>Bacillus Thuringiensis</i> Fermentation of Primary and Mixed Sludge: Rheology and Process Performance
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Bench scale fermentation of primary, mixed, and secondary (raw and hydrolyzed) sludge and starch industry wastewater was carried out using
Evaluation of Enhanced Reductive Dechlorination of Trichloroethylene Using Gene Analysis: Pilot-Scale Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The industrial solvent trichloroethylene (TCE) is among the most ubiquitous chlorinated compounds found in groundwater contamination. The objective of this pilot-scale study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an in situ ...
Cosmetic Nanomaterials in Wastewater: Titanium Dioxide and Fullerenes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The rapid growth in the cosmetic industry across the world is mainly due to the application of nanoingredients in cosmetics to enhance their properties and invention of new nanomolecules. Also, the weaker regulations on ...
Nanomaterials in Surface Water and Sediments: Fate and Analytical Challenges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Nanomaterials (NMs) present some interesting properties that may be tailored; for this reason, they are being used in different fields, which leads to their entry into the environment, whether by normal use or intentional ...
