  1. 1. New Dimensions of Moving Bed Biofilm Carriers : Influence of biofilm thickness and control possibilities

    Författare :MARIA PICULELL; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biofilm control; biofilm thickness; biological wastewater treatment; carrier; moving bed biofilm reactor; nitrification; nitritation; organic removal; process optimization; scaling; suspended growth;

    Sammanfattning : The moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) is a biological wastewater treatment process in which microorganisms grow as biofilms on suspended carriers. Conventionally, MBBRs are mainly designed and optimized based on the carrier surface area, neglecting the dynamic relationship between carrier design, reactor operation and biofilm characteristics, such as biofilm thickness and the composition of the microbial community.

  3. 2. Dynamic Modeling of Nitrifying Trickling Filters

    Författare :Torsten Wik; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Distributed parameter system; Trickling Filter; Biofilm; Process Model; Experiments; Wastewater; Dynamics;

    Sammanfattning : Trickling filters, one kind of biofilm reactors, for removal of nitrogen in municipal wastewater are presently increasing in number in Sweden. For improved control and operation of wastewater treatment plants, where such reactors are used, dynamic models describing their behavior are necessary. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Effect of surface characteristics on cellular adherence and activity

    Författare :Marjan Dorkhan; Malmö högskola; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bacteria; microbial biofilm; dental implant; streptococci; oral bacteria; salivary pellicle; early colonizers; titanium oxide; microbial activity; oral keratinocytes; gingival fibroblasts; cell attachment; surface modification; anodic oxidation; anatase;

    Sammanfattning : Ersättning av förlorade tänder med tandimplantat är numera en vanlig behandlingsmetod med generellt goda resultat. Antalet implantatsystem på den internationella marknaden har ökat kraftigt under senare år. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Microbial communities in anammox and nitrifying biofilms

    Författare :Carolina Suarez; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biofilms; AOB; partial nitritation anammox; nitrification; wastewater;

    Sammanfattning : Excess of nitrogen in water bodies causes eutrophication. One important source of nitrogen is the effluent from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Nitrogen in wastewater is most commonly removed by nitrification-denitrification. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Innate immune factors in recurrent and persistent infections of the lower female genital tract

    Författare :Cathrin Alvendal; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :C. albicans;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Infections of the female genital tract are common and have severe impact on the quality of life and sexual health of affected women. The innate immune system is crucial and is involved in the defense of infections. LÄS MER
