There is an increasing trend to use greywater for irrigation in households. This partly due the notion that of better quality than wastewater and therefore does not need extensive treatment beyond addressing public health issues. The aim study was evaluate environmental impact risks associated with on a small private farm. Over three-year period, each three plots farm irrigated either freshwater, fertilized water, or greywater. Irrigation water soil from were analyzed wide range chemical...
Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) comprising the microbial biofilms in membrane bioreactor (MBR) systems are considered most significant factor affecting sludge viscoelastic properties as well fouling. Understanding water chemistry effects on EPS viscoelastic, conformational, and adherence critical for defining biofilm's propensity of fouling surface. In this study, extracted from a hybrid growth (HG-MBR) were analyzed their adherence, size distribution using quartz crystal...
The status of treated wastewater reuse as experienced in some Mediterranean Basin countries such Greece, Israel, Italy and Cyprus is examined. General background information given for each these countries, including natural water resources, climatic conditions (temperature, rainfall), generated wastewater, crops cultivated irrigated with effluent, related aspects reuse. examined parameters include treatment strategies, standards applied country, effluent research progress the above target to...
Microbial biofilms and their components present a major obstacle for ensuring the long-term effectiveness of membrane processes. Graft polymerization on surfaces, in general, grafting with oppositely charged monomers, have been shown to reduce biofouling significantly. In this study, surface forces macromolecular properties graft copolymers that possess groups were related potent antibiofouling behavior. was performed using negatively 3-sulphopropyl methacrylate (SPM) positively...
Biofouling in anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) has not been studied widely. Moreover, the effect of surface properties on biofilm formation beyond initial deposition is controversial. We investigated biofouling with polyvinyldifluoride, polyacrylonitrile, and zwitterion-modified polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membranes having different during 72 h filtration using natural anaerobes isolated from AnMBR analyzed characteristics by physicochemical molecular techniques. A decrease...
A large variety of human pathogens are excreted in wastewater including bacteria, viruses, protozoan cysts and helminth eggs. In raw sewage, reach high numbers, thereafter decreasing successively at each treatment step. However, the final effluents still contain a fraction these that may pose serious public health. Among various crops irrigated with effluents, vegetables most vulnerable to contamination. Vegetables, usually eaten (uncooked) or rich dressings (causing regrowth some pathogenic...
Waste water treatment and recycling facilities are becoming increasingly necessary in arid zones, especially the light of shortage conventional sources. The simultaneous waste production duckweed a pond system, as an alternative protein source, is attractive proposition for solving feed problem. Outdoor experiments conducted mini-ponds showed that ponds may be highly competitive with existing secondary methods. biomass, crude content above 30% (dry weight), used source animal feed. ease...
One of the main challenges in realization anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) for wastewater treatment is reducing fouling.
