Membranes provide exceptional suspended solids removal and complete biomass retention that can improve the biological treatment process, but their commercial application to anaerobic has been limited. This review summarizes state of art with respect membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs), determines types wastewaters for which AnMBRs would be best suited, identifies research required increase implementation. have tested synthetic, food processing, industrial, high content, municipal at laboratory,...
A bomb calorimetry method has been used for the first time to measure energy content of raw municipal wastewater. The was validated using standard compounds (arginine, glucose, and propionic acid) then tested with sludge samples, results compared previously published values. By drying a large enough sample yield approximately 0.5 g solid residue benzoic acid in 1:1 ratio as combustion aid, an accurate precise measurement wastewater can be made. measurements indicate that full-scale treatment...
Background Current immunotherapies still have limited successful rates among cancers. It is now recognized that T cell functional state in the tumor microenvironment (TME) a key determinant for effective antitumor immunity and immunotherapy. In addition to exhaustion, cellular senescence tumor-infiltrating cells (TILs) has recently been identified as an important dysfunctional induced by various malignant tumors. Therefore, better understanding of molecular mechanism responsible TME...
Tetrachloroethene, also known as perchloroethylene, was reductively dechlorinated to trichloroethene and cis-1,2-dichloroethene by laboratory sulfate-reducing enrichment cultures. The causative organism or group not identified. However, tetrachloroethene in 50 mM bromoethane-sulfonate-inhibited enrichments 3 fluoroacetate-inhibited enrichments. Overall transformation varied from 92% removal 13 days 22% 65 days, depending on conditions of the inoculum, inhibitor used, auxilliary substrate...
The effects of effluent recycle were examined in a two-phase anaerobic system where the first phase was operated for fermentative hydrogen production and second methanogenesis. reactor as chemostat at 35 °C pH 5.5 with 10 h hydraulic retention time, methane an up-flow 28 between 6.9 7.2. Two ratios examined: 0 0.98. Effluent reduced required alkalinity control by approximately 40%. H2 productivity metric, basis electrons incorporating both gaseous dissolved H2, developed more fundamental...
Municipal wastewater treatment may lead to the emission of greenhouse gases. The current Intergovenmental Panel on Climate Change (Geneva, Switzerland) approach attributes only methane emissions treatment, but this overestimate gas from highly aerobic processes primarily used in North America. To better estimate emissions, a procedure is developed that can be either with plant-specific data or more general regional data. was evaluated using full-scale 16 Canadian facilities and then applied...
Submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactor (SAnMBR) technology was studied for kraft evaporator condensate treatment at 37 +/- 1 degrees C over a period of 9 months. Under tested organic loading rates 1-24 kg COD/m3/day, chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency 93-99% achieved with methane production rate 0.35 0.05 L methane/g COD removed and content 80-90% in produced biogas. Bubbling recycled biogas effective in-situ cleaning, depending on the sparging used. The critical flux increased...
