Biomethane Potential of Sludges from a Brackish Water Fish Hatchery
Applied Sciences, 2021 The development of intensive aquaculture is facing the challenge of the sustainable management of effluents. The reproductive sectors (i.e., hatcheries) mainly use water recirculation systems (RAS), which discharge a portion of wastewater.

Bisphenol A: Quantification in Complex Matrices and Removal by Anaerobic Sludges
Pollutants, 2021 The endocrine disruptor bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the most commonly found micropollutants in the environment. However, the biodegradation of BPA under anaerobic (methanogenic) conditions is still an understudied process in wastewater treatment systems.

The pollution effect on the denitrifying capacity of methanogenic sludges
Water Science and Technology, 2023 The denitrification process has been studied for biodegradation of some emerging contaminants (ECs). For this, anaerobic sludges from different Wastewater Treatment Plants (WTP) have been used; however, the biodegradation capacity can differ due to the ...
