The feasibility of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) process to treat wastewaters containing antibiotics and heavy metals (such as the liquid fraction anaerobically digested swine manure) was studied in this work. specific anammox activity (SAA) evaluated by means manometric batch tests. effects oxytetracycline, sulfathiazole, copper zinc were studied. experimental data short-term assays fitted with an inhibition model identify half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC(50)). After 24 h...
Abstract The recent regulations, which impose limits on single use plastics and packaging, are encouraging the development of bioplastics market. Some labelled as compostable with organic waste according to a specific certification (EN 13432), however conditions industrial composting plants generally less favourable than standard test conditions. Aiming at studying effective degradation marketable bioplastic products under composting, current research stresses novel elements can strongly...
The monitoring and metric assessment of piles natural or man-made materials plays a fundamental role in the production management processes multiple activities. Over time, techniques have undergone an evolution linked to progress measure data processing techniques; starting from classic topography global navigation satellite system (GNSS) technologies up current survey systems like laser scanner close-range photogrammetry. Last-generation 3D software allow for increasingly truer...
In aerobic granular sludge (AGS) for wastewater treatment, microorganisms are embedded in a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). A fraction EPS, the so-called structural EPS (sEPS), can be extracted through physical–chemical methods and form hydrogels. AGS-derived sEPS might converted into value-added biomaterials, thus contributing to circular economy-based sector. This paper aimed evaluate feasibility applying from AGS their hydrogels agriculture. The extraction...
The European Union (EU) has 28 member states, each with very different characteristics (e.g. surface, population density, per capita gross domestic product, municipal solid waste (MSW) production, MSW composition, management options). In this paper several integrated scenarios representative of the situation have been generated and analysed in order to evaluate possible trends net emission greenhouse gases required landfill volume. results demonstrate that an system a high level separate...
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are generally reported to be effective in removing microplastics (MPs). Nevertheless, the lack of standardized methodologies for their counting and characterization hinders direct comparison across literature reports, limiting establishment reliable benchmarks. In this perspective, work aimed provide methodological insights on a feasible approach detecting characterizing MPs both raw treated wastewater by exploiting innovative Laser Direct InfraRed (LDIR)...
