There have been multiple reports of COVID-19 virus, SARS-CoV-2 RNA presence in influent wastewater water reclamation facilities (WRFs) across the world. In this study, removal was investigated a WRF by collecting samples from various stages relayed to hydraulic retention time (HRT) and analyzed for viral (N1 N2) gene markers characteristics. detected 28 out primary effluent samples. Secondary showed 4 9 positive samples, all tertiary final were below detection limit markers. The reduction...
Soil aquifer treatment systems are known to further remove contaminants in wastewater effluent when applied through infiltration into the ground. Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) effluent, a precursor for disinfection by-products (DBPs) such as N -nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) is of great concern upon subsequent use groundwater infiltered aquifer. In this study, soil system was simulated using 1 m laboratory columns under unsaturated conditions representing vadose zone. The final water...
