This work provides a screening of organic contaminants and characterization the dissolved matter in sewer network until municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), identifying areas with higher degree contamination their impact on WWTP performance, particularly activated sludge reactor. Three monitoring campaigns were carried out at six selected locations sewage system (PVZ-1, PVZ-2, PS-F, PS-VC, CP-VC, PS-T), influent (WWTPINF) effluent (WWTPEFF) WWTP. Advanced analytical techniques...
A treatment train for the remediation of a raw olive mill wastewater (OMW) was investigated, aiming to comply with emission limit values (ELVs) direct discharge into water bodies. The following stages were proposed: (i) pre-treatment (filtration and sedimentation), (ii) coagulation, (iii) biological oxidation, (iv) advanced oxidation process (AOP). Under best-operating conditions coagulation (0.8 g L−1 Al2(SO4)3, pH = 4.5), high removal total suspended solids (TSS) (97%), turbidity (98%),...
e–NETmix is an innovative electrochemical continuous-flow reactor with a static mixer characterized by network of cylindrical chambers interconnected prismatic channels arranged at 45° angles. This study focuses on the proof-of-concept as regards global mass transfer properties applying limiting current technique for ferricyanide-ferrocyanide reaction different Reynolds numbers (Re). For Re from 100 to 1750, volumetric coefficients (kmA) ranged ∼ 1.3 × 10−1 s−1 5.1 and (km) 6.8 10−5 m/s 2.7...
eNETmix stands as an electrochemical flow reactor engineered to enhance mass transfer. This study aimed at assessing the performance of in realm organic electrosynthesis. Specifically, research focused on selective oxidation 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol (4-MBA) p-anisaldehyde (PAA) using a bare fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) anode. The efficiency process was assessed for distinct current densities (j), Reynolds numbers (Re), supporting electrolyte contents, and substrate initial contents....
