The accumulation of nanoplastics (NPs) in the environment has raised concerns about their impact on human health and biosphere. main aim this study is to understand mechanism that governs capture NPs by jellyfish mucus extracted from Aurelia sp. (A.a.) compare capture/removal efficiency conventional coagulants other organisms. efficacy A.a polystyrene acrylic (∼100 nm) spiked wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent was evaluated. effect kinetics destabilization different polymer...
An experimentally practical and precise flocculation-based method was developed, tested, applied to determine phenanthrene 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene sorption with NIST SRM 2975 diesel particulate matter. Following an initial equilibration period, polyaluminum chloride (PACl) solution added the tubes in order facilitate formation of flocculated aggregates soot particles. After separation solids through centrifugation, supernatant concentrations were determined as conventional batch methods. The...
The main objective of this research is to examine the modification a well-known immobilization technique biomass enhance aerobic biodegradation phenol at high initial concentrations. This work focused on testing effect entrapping different low-cost mineral additives (clay and activated carbon) matrix, while considering diffusive internal mass-transfer limitations. Aerobic was performed using isolated microorganism cells from compost pile agricultural waste. influence concentration (400−2000...
ABSTRACT The advanced anaerobic technology (AAT), developed based on an immobilized high-rate reactor, was applied as a pretreatment of municipal wastewater (WW) at Karmiel's treatment plant in Israel. demonstration-scale AAT (21 m3) system operated flow rate 100 m3day−1 WW mixed with olive mill (OMW) (0.5 m3day−1) to simulate the scenario illegal discharge agro-industrial WW. provided stable performance. Specifically, enabled treating high organic loads (9.3 kg m−3day−1) resulting from OMW...
Abstract Biogas is a sustainable, renewable energy source generated from organic waste degradation during anaerobic digestion (AD). AD applied for treating different types of wastewater, mostly containing high load. However, practice still limited due to the low quality produced biogas. Upgrading biogas natural gas (>90% CH4) essential broad applications. Here, an innovative bio-electrochemically assisted process was developed, combining wastewater treatment and upgrading. This based...
Abstract Biogas, which typically consists of about 50–70% methane gas, is produced by anaerobic digestion organic waste and wastewater. Biogas considered an important energy resource with much potential; however, its application low due to quality. In this regard, upgrading it natural gas quality (above 90% methane) will broaden application. research, a novel ex-situ immobilized biomethanation bioreactor (IBBR) was developed for biologically biogas reducing CO2 CH4 using hydrogen as electron...
For systems of sediments, soils, and subsurface solids that involve aggregations fine-grained materials zones immobile water, the desorption organic contaminants is often controlled by aqueous diffusion within water a sorption domain. Accurate modeling in such requires not only rational conceptual model for rates, but also good understanding equilibrium condition initial conditions existed at onset desorption. In this work, numerical was used to obtain synthetic experimental results with...
Municipal solid waste management is considered one of the major environmental challenges. Organic waste, especially food usually accounts for over 50 wt% municipal yet, in most countries, it least recovered material. Decentralized composting aims to develop a new framework management, building closed-loop system home, community, and commercial organic urban environments. However, some cases, decentralized not economically and/or environmentally viable. Even when viable, various barriers...
Adsorption‐desorption of trichlorophenol (TCP) on calcium montmorillonite (pure clay), prepared montmorillonite‐humic complexes, and natural soils were investigated. Adsorption followed a Freundlich‐type isotherm between 5 30 mg/L TCP, linear adsorption isotherms obtained for equilibrium concentrations up to 7 mg/L. Linear correlations sorption constants ( K p ) organic carbon f oc clay‐mineral content m ). In the complex systems, desorption coincided no hysteresis was observed. Strong...
