Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND An essential aspect of applying Purple Phototrophic Bacteria (PPB) technology for wastewater treatment is the biomass separation from the aqueous phase. Ca2+ and Mg2+ have been used to enhance the aggregation of different biological matrices. In this paper, the effect of Ca2+ and Mg2+ on the aggregation of a mixed culture of PPB was

The biosorption potential of modified bottle gourd shell for phosphate: Equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic studies [PDF]
Chemical Industry and Chemical Engineering Quarterly, 2018 In order to preserve the environment and prevent the occurrence of eutrophication, a new quaternary ammonium biosorbent based on the bottle gourd (Lagenaria vulgaris) shell (QALVS) was prepared and characterized in the present study.

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND The new European Union Wastewater Directive 2024/3019 requires upgrading sewage treatment plants to achieve 80% removal of micropollutants. This study aimed to compare different Powdered Activated Carbon dosing strategies within a hybrid Moving Bed‐Membrane Bioreactor (PAC‐MB‐MBR) system, to evaluate its performance and to study the

SusMat, EarlyView.A defect‐rich TiO2−x nanolayer was simultaneously synthesized and nano‐anchored on a mesoporous bio‐silica (diatomite) through a rapid, low‐temperature atmospheric‐pressure plasma process in aqueous media. The optimized TiO2−x/bio‐silica composite (DE 700) exhibits oxygen vacancies, an anatase–rutile heterointerface, broad solar‐spectrum absorption ...

Biosorption of Cadmium by Fucus spiralis [PDF]
Environmental Chemistry, 2004 Environmental Context. Conventional processes for the removal of heavy metals from wastewaters generally involves chemical precipitation of metals (changing the pH) followed by a period to allow the metal precipitates to settle and be separated. These processes are inefficient when the metals are at a low concentration and still demand handling and ...

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) pose significant ecological and human health risks due to their persistence, bioaccumulation, toxicity, and global distribution. Conventional remediation methods are often inadequate for achieving complete mineralization, demonstrating the need for advanced and substantial approaches.
