The efficiency of natural zeolite to remove ammonium from artificial wastewater (ammonium aqueous solutions) and treat second cheese whey was examined, aiming recover nitrogen nutrients that can be used for further applications, such as slow-release fertilizers. Sorption experiments were performed using different granulometries (i.e., 0.71–1.0, 1.8–2.0, 2.0–2.8, 2.8–4.0, 4.0–5.0 mm). granulometry the had no significant effect on its ability absorb ammonium. Nevertheless, smaller particles...
Biofuels produced from photosynthetic microorganisms such as microalgae and cyanobacteria could potentially replace fossil fuels they offer several advantages over lignocellulosic biomass. In this study, energy production potential in the form of bioethanol was examined using different biomasses derived growth a cyanobacteria-based microbial consortium on chemical medium agro-industrial wastewaters (i.e., dairy wastewater, winery wastewater mixed winery–raisin effluent) supplemented with...
Halloysite nanoclay (HNC) was examined as an adsorbent for the individual and simultaneous removal of antibiotic enrofloxacin (ENRO) methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions, alongside its regeneration via cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) bubbling. Initially, batch kinetics isotherm studies were carried out, while effect several parameters evaluated. Both ENRO MB adsorption onto HNC better described by Langmuir model, with maximum capacity being 34.80 27.66 mg/g, respectively. A Pseudo-second...
Abstract BACKGROUND One of the main components dairy wastewaters is cheese whey. Although different technologies have been used extensively in past for cheese‐whey treatment, constructed wetlands ( CWs ) applications are limited. Furthermore, effect crucial operational parameters (e.g. temperature, pollutant loading rate) not thoroughly studied. Having this mind, two horizontal subsurface flow pilot‐scale CW units (one planted and one unplanted) were to treat secondary whey, order examine...
Cultivation of photosynthetic microorganisms in wastewater is a potential cost-effective method treating and simultaneously providing the essential nutrients for high-value biomass production. This study investigates cultivation cyanobacterium Arthrospira platensis non-diluted non-pretreated brewery under non-sterile alkaline growth conditions. The system’s performance terms productivity, pollutant consumption, pigment production composition was evaluated different media formulations (i.e.,...
