Concentration polarization is intrinsically associated with the selective character of membranes and often means flux decline which causes a subsequent decrease ultrafiltration nanofiltration performance. More important fact that it acts as precursor membrane fouling creates severe problems in longer times range. The quantification its dependence on operating parameters cross-flow velocities transmembrane pressures makes recourse to film theory introduce mass-transfer coefficients generally...
The energy costs usually represent the second largest part of running a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). It is therefore crucial to increase efficiency these infrastructures and implement management systems, where quantitative performance metrics, such as indicators (PIs), play key role. This paper presents PIs which cover unit consumption, production, net use from external sources costs, results used validate them derive their reference values. field study with 17 Portuguese WWTPs (5-year...
Novel powdered activated carbons (PACs) from pine cones and nut shells (PNSs) were tested for the competitive adsorption of pharmaceutical compounds (PhCs) in spiked (100 µg/L) secondary effluent mixed liquor an urban wastewater treatment plant. Steam PNS77, with hierarchical pore structure 1463 m2/g BET area, outperformed commercial benchmark (WP220, mineral origin) PhCs dissolved organic matter (DOM) control. PNS77 attained highest capacity rate synthetic real wastewaters. Competitive...
A atenção primária à saúde (APS), é considerada pelo Ministério da Saúde a porta de entrada do Sistema Único (SUS), tendo como finalidade organizar o fluxo das ações e serviços desde as baixa complexidade até alta complexidade. Esta designada conjunto atenções individuais coletivas que visam promoção, proteção agravos, diagnóstico, tratamento, reabilitação redução danos, obedecendo aos princípios universalidade, acessibilidade, integralidade, equidade descentralização dos serviços....
Projection to Latent Structures (PLS) regression, a generalization of multiple linear is used model two datasets (40 observed data points each) adsorption removal three pharmaceutical compounds (PhCs), different therapeutic classes and physical–chemical properties (carbamazepine, diclofenac, sulfamethoxazole), from six real secondary effluents collected wastewater treatment plants onto powdered activated carbons (PACs). For the PLS 25 descriptors were considered: 7 related PhCs properties,...
A performance assessment system (PAS) is an important instrument to provide a cost-effective and sustainable management of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Despite the fact that many PASs have been developed in recent years, aspects WWTP evaluation not yet considered. This paper presents framework overall indicators PAS for urban WWTPs.
Powdered activated carbon (PAC) dosing to a conventional sludge (AS) reactor is low-investment option for controlling pharmaceutical compounds (PhCs) in municipal wastewater treatment, but its advantages and limitations real operating environments are not fully assessed. A 3-week PAC-AS full-scale test was conducted an oxidation ditch plant assess PAC impact on effluent quality (PhCs, dissolved organic (DOC) other parameters), energy consumption, production costs. DOC-normalized doses of...
The control of pharmaceutical compounds (PhCs) in urban wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is an issue health and environmental relevance, expected to become mandatory the European Union beyond, but studies at full scale are still scarce. A long-term (2.5-year) full-scale study addressing practical strategies for controlling PhCs was conducted two activated sludge WWTPs with nitrification (BEI A2O process; FNW oxidation ditch). results showed similar removal patterns both – some most...
