This study focuses on optimizing the ozonation process in drinking water production from Lake Butoniga to ensure safe quality while minimizing disinfection by-products (DBPs). Laboratory simulations were conducted using Box–Behnken design model effects of ozone dose and treatment duration bromate formation, trihalomethanes (THMs), haloacetic acids (HAAs) specific UV absorption (SUVA). Two strategies tested: Strategy 1 aimed minimize all DBPs, 2 focused controlling levels keeping THMs, HAAs...
Wheat bran is a by-product rich in bioactive compounds, but possess strong polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity, which can act undesirably on product quality. This study aimed to optimize the particle size (500, 255, and 10 µm) of wheat time amplitude high-intensity ultrasound (HIU) treatment PPO total phenolics, antioxidant water swelling using response surface methodology. The activity decreased depending HIU time. Phenolic content, were dependent size. Temperature rise, amplitude, affected...
Bromate formation is a complex process that depends on the properties of water and ozone used. Due to fluctuations in quality, surface waters require major adjustments treatment process. In this work, we investigated how time year, dose duration, ammonium affect bromides, bromates, absorbance at 254 nm (UV254), near-infrared (NIR) spectra, fluorescent components (humic-like tyrosine-like) during ozonation. Linear non-linear models were used determine predict relationships between input...
The stone crayfish, Austropotamobius torrentium, is a native European freshwater species sensitive to habitat alterations such as stream channelization and urban development, putting its populations at risk. This study aims assess how alteration subsequent water quality changes affect the crayfish population in Kustošak Stream (Croatia) through three selected sites under different levels of anthropogenic disturbance: (1) undisturbed; (2) recently modified, (3) long-time modified sites. At...
Oomycete pathogens in freshwaters, such as Saprolegnia parasitica and Aphanomyces astaci, are responsible for fish/crayfish population declines the wild disease outbreaks aquaculture. Although formation of infectious zoospores laboratory can be triggered by washing their mycelium with natural water samples, physico-chemical properties that might promote sporulation still unexplored. We washed mycelia A. astaci S. a range samples observed differences efficiency. The results Partial Least...
