Gusmaroli, Lucia (Data de defensa: 2020-05-25)
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 ...
Verkh, Yaroslav (Data de defensa: 2019-01-28)
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 ...
Plà Castellana, Mireia (Data de defensa: 2023-02-24)
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 ...
Ferrari, Federico (Data de defensa: 2020-10-14)
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 ...
Ponzelli, Michele (Data de defensa: 2023-12-11)
Freshwater scarcity is a growing concern, prompting the exploration of water reuse strategies. Anaerobic wastewater treatment is gaining popularity due to its low energy requirements and the potential for resource recovery. ...
Sergienko, Natalia (Data de defensa: 2021-10-13)
Formation of hydrogen sulfide represents a major challenge in the operation of wastewater collection systems. Hydrogen sulfide is malodourous and toxic gas, which causes corrosion of pipes, wells, and constructions, hence ...
Kassotaki, Elissavet (Data de defensa: 2018-09-07)
Pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) and endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) can pose a significant risk to the environment and human health, undermining prosperity. Current wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) cannot ...
Sbardella, Luca (Data de defensa: 2019-05-22)
The presence of several pharmaceutical active compounds (PhACs) in water bodies has garnered increasing attention and worldwide concern. The effluents from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are one of the main sources ...
Mor Roy, Jordi-René (Data de defensa: 2019-09-19)
Mediterranean rivers are characterized by high hydrological variability and heterogeneity of habitats, placing themselves amongst arid and temperate climates, and are associated with high biological diversity. On the ...
Rodríguez-Caballero, Adrián (Data de defensa: 2015-03-20)
The exponential increase of the atmospheric concentration of green-house gases due to human activities is responsible for the acceleration of global warming and climate change. Recently, scientific studies have pointed ...
Ribera Guàrdia, Anna (Data de defensa: 2017-12-12)
This thesis focuses on the study of the global green house gas (GHG) emissions from wastewater systems. Nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) are the main GHG directly emitted from wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). In ...
Aymerich Blazquez, Ignasi (Data de defensa: 2019-01-22)
For a long time, there has been a need and an ambition to better understand the behavior of integrated systems by considering the whole urban water cycle, including wastewater transportation, wastewater treatment and the ...
Sauchelli Toran, Marc (Data de defensa: 2019-07-18)
Forward osmosis (FO) is known to be particularly efficient at treating impaired water sources with a high fouling potential. In the context of water reuse FO is being introduced as a robust pre-treatment process, usually ...
Jaén Gil, Adrián (Data de defensa: 2021-05-28)
The low efficiency of wastewater treatment plants to achieve the complete removal of micropollutants, including pharmaceuticals, has motivated the development of alternative water technologies to improve their efficiency, ...
Juan García, Pau (Data de defensa: 2019-02-04)
The water sector is entering a period of uncertainty, as stressors such as climate change pose unknown risks to its infrastructure. Utilities need to build resilience to handle unpredictable changes, but the field of ...
Auguet Horta, Olga (Data de defensa: 2016-07-13)
Sewer systems transport wastewater from its source to treatment plants. During this transport, wastewater microorganisms colonize pipe walls and develop biofilms. The activity of microbial communities generates sulfide ...
Čelić, Mira (Data de defensa: 2020-12-15)
The main objective of this thesis is to evaluate the impact of wastewater discharges on receiving riverine and coastal ecosystems by studying the occurrence and fate of emerging contaminants (ECs). Since there is a myriad ...
Montserrat Royuela, Albert (Data de defensa: 2015-07-03)
In combined sewer systems (CSS) wastewater and stormwater flow through the same pipes. During severe rain episodes, the excess combined flow of untreated wastewater and stormwater is released out from the system through ...
