Special Focus on WEFTEC® 2008: Biological Treatment
Aug 01, 2009; ... This past June in Washington, D.C., a collection of high-quality papers was presented during the Water Environment Federation's (WEF's) second specialty conference on nutrient removal. An important focus of this meeting was the application of technologies capable of meeting low nitrogen and ...
Biological Application of Micro-Electro Mechanical Systems Microelectrode Array Sensors for Direct Measurement of Phosphate in the Enhanced Biological Phosphorous Removal Process
Aug 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT: The determination of phosphate has been of great importance in the fields of clinical, environmental, and horticultural analysis for over three decades. New cobalt-based micro-electro mechanical systems (MEMS) microelectrode array (MEA) sensors for direct measurement of ...
Characterization of Lectins and Bacterial Adhesins in Activated Sludge Flocs
Aug 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT: Bacterial lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins that are involved in bacterial adhesion and aggregation. To investigate whether lectins are involved in floc formation of activated sludge, hemaaggultination (HA) and HA inhibition assays were conducted on extracellular ...
Predicting the Degradability of Waste Activated Sludge
Aug 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to identify methods for estimating anaerobic digestibility of waste activated sludge (WAS). The WAS streams were generated in three sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) treating municipal wastewater. The wastewater and WAS properties were initially ...
Estrogen Nitration Kinetics and Implications for Wastewater Treatment
Aug 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT: Understanding estrogen-removal mechanisms in wastewater treatment is imperative, as estrogens have environmental effects at trace concentrations. Previous research investigating co-metabolic degradation of 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2) by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) ...
