Monitoring PHB production in Synechocystis sp. with hyperspectral images
(2022-07)
Article
Open AccessMicroalgae wastewater treatment systems have the potential for producing added-value products. More specifically, cyanobacteria are able to accumulate polyhydroxybutyrates (PHBs), which can be extracted and used for ... -
Power assisted MFC-based biosensor for continuous assessment of microbial activity and biomass in freshwater ecosystems
(Elsevier, 2022-08)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyMicrobial activity and biomass are important factors that determine nutrient and carbon fluxes in freshwater ecosystems and, therefore are also related to both water quality and climate change induced stressors. This study ... -
Machine learning methods modeling carbohydrate-enriched cyanobacteria biomass production in wastewater treatment systems
(2022-04)
Article
Open AccessOne-stage production of carbohydrate-enriched microalgae biomass in wastewater is a promising option to obtain biofuels. Understanding the interaction of water quality parameters such as nutrients, carbon, internal ... -
Accumulation of polyhydroxybutyrate in Synechocystis sp. isolated from wastewaters: effect of salinity, light, and P content in the biomass
(Elsevier, 2022-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyCyanobacteria are of particular interest as they can produce Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), which is a promising alternative to oil-based plastics, using only inorganic carbon and solar light. However, new strategies should ... -
Direct membrane filtration (DMF) of municipal wastewater by mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) filled with graphene oxide (GO): towards a circular sanitation model
(Elsevier, 2022-08)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyDirect membrane filtration (DMF) is an emerging wastewater treatment technology for providing high-quality effluents as well as efficient organic waste recovery from the concentrate. The latter may then be used for methane ... -
Fate and removal of emerging contaminants in anaerobic fluidized membrane bioreactor filled with thermoplastic gel as biofilm support
(2022-08)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe Anaerobic Fluidized Membrane Bioreactor (AnFMBR) is a membrane–based hybrid technology that can overcome the limitations of conventional anaerobic sewage treatment. Although previous studies have demonstrated excellent ... -
Boosting pharmaceutical removal through aeration in constructed wetlands
(2021-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis work evaluated the removal efficiency of 13 wastewater-borne pharmaceuticals in a pilot constructed wetland (CW) operated under different aeration strategies (no aeration, intermittent and continuous). Aeration improved ... -
New insights on the combined removal of antibiotics and ARGs in urban wastewater through the use of two configurations of vertical subsurface flow constructed wetlands
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe occurrence and removal of 49 antibiotics and 11 selected antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) were investigated in 2 vertical subsurface flow (VF) constructed wetlands (1.5 m2 each): an unsaturated (UVF) unit and a ... -
Inorganic carbon stimulates the metabolic routes related to the polyhdroxybutyrate production in a Synechocystis sp. strain (cyanobacteria) isolated from wastewater
(Elsevier, 2022-07)
Article
Open AccessCyanobacteria are capable of transforming CO2 into polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB). In this study, different inorganic carbon concentrations (0–2 gC L-1) were evaluated for a Synechocystis sp. strain isolated from wastewater. ... -
Advanced biokinetic and hydrodynamic modelling to support and optimize the design of full-scale high rate algal ponds
(Elsevier, 2022-01)
Article
Open AccessHigh rate algal ponds (HRAP) are known for their suitability to treat wastewater and to produce microalgal biomass, which can be converted into bioproducts. However, full-scale application of HRAP is still limited to few ... -
Digested sludge quality in mesophilic, thermophilic and temperature-phased anaerobic digestion systems
(2021-10)
Article
Open AccessAnaerobic digestion (AD) technology is commonly used to treat sewage sludge from activated sludge systems, meanwhile alleviating the energy demand (and costs) for wastewater treatment. Most often, anaerobic digestion is ... -
A review of technologies for closing the P loop in agriculture runoff: contributing to the transition towards a circular economy
(2022-04)
Article
Open AccessPhosphorus (P) scarcity and the environmental hazards posed by P discharges have triggered the development of technologies for P sequestration and removal from waste streams. Agriculture runoff usually has P concentrations ...
