The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Performance evaluation of the waste activated sludge high‐rate (WASHR) process for septic wastewater treatment. Abstract The waste‐activated sludge high‐rate (WASHR) process is evaluated as a batch‐mode pre‐treatment for actual septage using a high‐rate contact stabilization (HRCS) approach.

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND Chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons such as trichloroethylene (TCE) are persistent groundwater contaminants due to improper disposal and low biodegradability. This work presents an innovative bioelectrochemical system for the integrated reductive/oxidative removal of TCE from contaminated water, implemented in a single tubular ...

Biodegradation of fluorinated octanoic acids in an O2-based membrane biofilm reactor
Water Research XPer- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental contaminants due to their widespread use and recalcitrance to degradation. Aerobic bioreactors provide a possible path for further defluorination and mineralization of reductively ...

Improvement of Biodegradation of Wood Plastic Composites using Rice-Bran Mixture
BioResources, 2016 Wood-plastic composites (WPCs) are currently discarded using incineration treatment, which is very expensive. Hence, this study was performed to improve the biodegradation of WPCs, such that they could potentially be buried after use, and to estimate ...

Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The use of microorganisms is an evolving method for the degradation of hydrocarbon contaminants. In this aim, halophilic hydrocarbon degrading bacteria were isolated from oil contaminated soil in Tunisia. A lipopeptide biosurfactant produced by Bacillus subtilis SPB1 was tested to increase diesel biodegradation along with co‐inoculation with ...

Substrate interactions during aerobic biodegradation of benzene [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1989 This study dealt with the interactions with benzene degradation of the following aromatic compounds in a mixed substrate: toluene, o-xylene, naphthalene, 1,4-dimethylnaphthalene, phenanthrene, and pyrrole. The experiment was performed as a factorial experiment with simple batch cultures. The effect of two different types of inocula was tested. One type
