Impact of selected NSAIDs on performances, microbial activity and microbial community in sequencing batch reactors
The non – steroidal anti – inflammatory drugs ( NSAIDs ) are the most commonly used drugs worldwide. Among them, diclofenac ( DCF ), ibuprofen (IBP) and naproxen (NPX) were frequently detected in the environment as the
Particulate organics degradation and waste sludge minimization in complete solids retention activated sludge wastewater treatment plants
Activated sludge (AS) process has been widely applied for the treatment of wastewaters containing biodegradable substrates, such as organic compounds. It is based on the microbial utilization of biodegradable substrates that contain carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus. The
The fate and influence of engineered nanoparticles in wastewater treatment plants
Engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) (intentionally created particles with one or more dimensions greater than 1 nanometer and less than 100 nanometers) are now used in consumer and industrial products. However, there are concerns surrounding their potential effects on
