      Olkiewicz, Magdalena; Fortuny Sanromá, Agustín; Stüber, Frank Erich; Fabregat Llangostera, Azael; Font Capafons, Josep; Bengoa, Christophe José (2015-02-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      Biodiesel production is currently limited due to high raw material costs. The potential of using sludge from municipal wastewater treatment plants as an alternative lipid feedstock was investigated. Four different types ...

    • Enhanced degradation of phenol by a fenton-like system (Fe/EDTA/h2 o2) at circumneutral pH 

      Messele, Selamawit Ashagre; Bengoa, Christophe José; Stüber, Frank Erich; Giralt Marcé, Jaume; Fortuny Sanromá, Agustín; Fabregat Llangostera, Azael; Font Capafons, Josep (2019-05-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      This work deals with the degradation of phenol based on the classical Fenton process, which is enhanced by the presence of chelating agents. Several iron-chelating agents such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), ...

    • Evaluation of different sludges from WWTP as a potential source for biodiesel production 

      Olkiewicz, Magdalena; Fortuny Sanromá, Agustín; Stüber, Frank Erich; Fabregat Llangostera, Azael; Font Capafons, Josep; Bengoa, Christophe José (2012)

      Biodiesel expansion is currently limited due to high raw material costs for its produc tion. The potential of using sludge from municipal wastewater treatment plants as an alternative lipid feedstock for biodiesel ...

    • Fast aqueous biodegradation of highly-volatile organic compounds in a novel anaerobic reaction setup 

      Garcia Martinez, Yonhara; Chirinos, Judith; Bengoa, Christophe José; Stüber, Frank; Font Capafons, Josep; Fortuny Sanromá, Agustín; Fabregat Llangostera, Azael (2018-11-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      The present work explores the biodegradation of some emerging pollutants (EPs) in an anaerobic slowly-agitated up-flow packed-bed reactor (USPBR) filled with biological activated carbon (BAC). Chlorobenzene (CB) and ...

    • Fenton coupled with nanofiltration for elimination of Bisphenol A 

      Escalona, I.; Fortuny Sanromá, Agustín; Stueber, Frank; Bengoa, Christophe José; Fabregat Llangostera, Azael; Font Capafons, Josep (2014-07-15)
      Article
      Open Access
      Bisphenol A (BPA) is a typical Endocrine Disrupting Chemical (EDC), which is potentially harmful during wastewater reclamation. In this study, its degradation during Fenton's process under different operational conditions ...

    • Fenton coupled with nanoflitration for elimination of tartrazine 

      Escalona, I.; Stüber, Frank Erich; Fortuny Sanromá, Agustín; Bengoa, Christophe José; Fabregat Llangostera, Azael; Font Capafons, Josep (2012)
