Nocardia effects in waste activated sludge

Water Science and Technology, 1998
Two effects of Nocardia in waste activated sludge (WAS) were investigated: (i) the influence of WAS in the solids treatment recycle streams on Nocardia persistence in the activated sludge, and (ii) the effect of Nocardia in WAS on anaerobic digester foaming.

Eggshell‐Based Biochar for Superior Adsorption of Crystal Violet Dye and Fluoride From Wastewater

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Present study investigates the efficiency of eggshell biochar as a low‐cost and ecofriendly adsorbent for the simultaneous removal of fluoride ions and crystal violet (CV) dye from wastewater. The eggshell waste was pyrolyzed to produce biochar, which was thoroughly characterized and subsequently employed for contaminant adsorption.

Bioplastic polyhydroxyalkanoate conversion in waste activated sludge

Journal of Environmental Management
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) have been proposed as a promising solution for plastic pollution due to their biodegradability and diverse applications. To promote PHA as a competitive commercial product, an attractive alternative is to produce and recover PHA in the use of mixed cultures such as waste activated sludge from wastewater treatment plants. PHA

Co-conditioning and dewatering of alum sludge and waste activated sludge

Water Science and Technology, 2004
Co-conditioning and dewatering behaviors of alum sludge and waste activated sludge were investigated. Two different sludges were mixed at various ratios (2:1; 1:1; 1:2; 1:4) for study. Capillary suction time (CST) and specific resistance to filtration (SRF) were utilized to assess sludge dewaterability.
