Triclosan Adsorption Using Wastewater Biosolids-derived Biochar [PDF]
, 2016 Organic micropollutants are ubiquitous in the environment and stem from municipal wastewater treatment plant discharges. Adsorption can be used as a tertiary treatment to complement the conventional activated sludge process to remove micropollutants ...

Effect of cytostatic drug presence on extracellular polymeric substances formation in municipal wastewater treated by membrane bioreactor [PDF]
, 2010 The effect of the cyclophosphamide and its mean metabolites on extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) formation was investigated. Two lab-scale membrane bioreactors were followed in parallel (one with the cytostatic drugs, the second without ...

Pyrolysis of Wastewater Biosolids Significantly Reduces Estrogenicity [PDF]
, 2016 Most wastewater treatment processes are not specifically designed to remove micropollutants. Many micropollutants are hydrophobic so they remain in the biosolids and are discharged to the environment through land-application of biosolids. Micropollutants

Microbial community changes induced by Managed Aquifer Recharge activities: linking hydrogeological and biological processes [PDF]
, 2019 Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) is a technique used worldwide to increase the availability of water resources. We study how MAR modifies microbial ecosystems and its implications for enhancing biodegradation processes to eventually improve groundwater ...

Persistence of Urban Stream Syndrome Effects from Point Source and Non-Point Source Pollutants [PDF]
, 2017 In a previous study, Sager Creek, a small 1st-3rd order stream in northwest Arkansas was shown to be negatively impacted by urban land usage within the watershed, producing a stream that exhibited several indicators of urban stream syndrome.
