1. Perspectives on Biofilms for the Removal of Organic Micropollutants in Wastewater
Sammanfattning : The use of biofilms to improve the removal of organic micropollutants in waste¬water treatment plants (WWTPs) has been investigated. The work is divided into two parts. In the first part, the use of biofilms for the biological degradation of micro¬pollutants was investigated. LÄS MER
2. Towards application of activated carbon treatment for pharmaceutical removal in municipal wastewater
Sammanfattning : Many pharmaceuticals are found in municipal wastewater effluents due to their persistence in the human body as well as in conventional wastewater treatment processes. This discharge to the environment can lead to adverse effects in aquatic species, such as feminization of male fish. LÄS MER
3. Sediment remediation using activated carbon: amending knowledge gaps
Sammanfattning : Many coastal sediments have accumulated large quantities of contaminants from past anthropogenic activities and now act as a secondary emission source of legacy pollutants to coastal ecosystems. New sediment remediation strategies are needed to address widespread sediment pollution. LÄS MER
4. The influence of soil and contaminant properties on the efficiency of physical and chemical soil remediation methods
Sammanfattning : A vast number of sites that have been contaminated by industrial activities have been identified worldwide. Many such sites now pose serious risks to humans and the environment. Given the large number of contaminated sites there is a great need for efficient, cost-effective remediation methods. LÄS MER
5. Effects of Natural Organic Matter on Herbicide Adsorption to Activated Carbon
Sammanfattning : The presence of pesticides in the aquatic environment represents a potential threat to water quality and human health. Increasingly stringent drinking water quality directives focus on the need for efficient pesticide removal processes. LÄS MER
