El sistema de fangs activats és el tractament biològic més àmpliament utilitzat arreu del món per la depuració d'aigües residuals. El seu funcionament depèn de la correcta operació tant del reactor biològic com del decantador ...
The anaerobic digestion of organic matter causes the formation of biogas that can be used in energy conversion systems for the production of electricity and heat, injection into the gas grid or as a fuel. However, biogas ...
This thesis is focused on two environmental issues. The first one is the recovery of different wastes, such as sewage sludge and fly ashes, and the second one is related to the removal of odour causing compounds which are ...
El fang biològic es produeix en les plantes de tractament d'aigües residuals urbanes i industrials. El tractament i la gestió dels fangs és un dels problemes més importants en el camp del tractament de les aigües residuals. ...
The presence of xenobiotics - such as pharmaceutically active compounds, endocrine disrupting compounds and pesticides - in the aquatic environment has risen great environmental concern due to their high toxicity even at ...
Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) allow the achievement of high enrichment levels by using small volumes of solvents, enabling the low detection limits required for the determination of ketoprofen, naproxen, carbamazepine, ...
Human population has had an impact on the natural phosphorus’ cycle, a limited resource, and the predictions show that this resource could be exhausted in 100-250 years. Therefore, the actions for the coming 10-25 years ...
The thesis presents and evaluates the application of the paradigm of agents to the management of the urban wastewater system. The system is conceptualised as a multi-agent system from the development of the models of ...
Summary Nowadays, ammonium (NH4+) is a pollutant present in all kinds of water bodies, leading to multiple environmental and health issues. The current NH4+-removing technologies are very expensive, as they require a lot ...
Biological nutrient removal has been studied and applied for decades in order to remove nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater. However, more anthropogenic uses and the continued demand for water have forced the facilities ...
The presence of nitrates (NO3-) in groundwater is a worldwide concern. The high energy demand and environmental impact of available technologies requires investigating new technologies. This thesis was focused on investigating ...
Tourism has become one of the most important economic sectors in the Mediterranean coast. Despite the economic benefits generated by tourism at local and regional level, the environmental impacts related to water consumption ...
The main objective of this thesis is to characterize and evaluate the capacity of cork and by-products of the cork industry (collectively called as cork samples) as biosorbents of aqueous polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ...
The doctoral thesis has focused on the simultaneous removal of carbon and nitrogen in BES for future application in the treatment of industrial wastewater as swine manure. The bacteria that use the electrode as electron ...
Wastewater discharged from industrial and agricultural activities contains relatively large amounts of toxic metal ions, especially including Cd(II), Cu(II), Pb (II), and Cr(VI). The removal of these pollutants is of ...
Individual hazardous chemicals and substance mixtures with synergistic toxicity ef-fects occur in the dissolved organic matter (DOM) of wastewater and negatively im-pact human health. Yet a large number of chemicals and ...
Water quality monitoring during the purification and sanitation processes in Drinking Water Treatment Plants (DWTP), Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) and Water Reclamation Plants (ERA) is a necessary step to obtain a ...
In this thesis, different studies were performed to investigate the combination of FO for the pre-concentration of municipal WW with an anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) for the production of biogas. Firstly, a ...
This thesis represents an important contribution to facilitate the efficient creation of detailed inventories to carry out Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies of urban wastewater systems. Specifically, this thesis provides ...
La implementació de la Directiva Europea 91/271/CEE referent a tractament d'aigües residuals urbanes va promoure la construcció de noves instal·lacions al mateix temps que la introducció de noves tecnologies per tractar ...
