Broad and increasing interest in sustainable wastewater treatment has led a paradigm shift towards more efficient means of treatment system operation. A key aspect of improving overall sustainability is the potential for ...

Molecular-based approaches were used to characterize the coastal microbiota and to elucidate the trophic state of Red Sea. Nutrient content and enterococci numbers were monitored, and used to correlate with the abundance ...

Organic micro-pollutants (OMPs) are contaminants of emerging concern in wastewater treatment due to the risk of their proliferation into the environment, but their impact on the biological treatment process is not well ...

Two lab-scale anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs), one up-flow attached-growth (UA) and another continuously stirred (CSTR), were operated under mesophilic conditions (35 °C) while treating synthetic municipal wastewater ...

This study aims to assess the removal efficiency of microbial contaminants in a local wastewater treatment plant over the duration of one year, and to assess the microbial risk associated with reusing treated wastewater ...

Ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC) is an electro-active polymer (EAP) that generates electrical charges when it is mechanically deformed. In this study, a fullycoupled mechano-chemo-electrical finite element model is ...

This paper presents a study of the spinning influence on film thickness and friction in EHL circular contacts under isothermal and fully-flooded conditions. Pressure and film thickness profiles are computed with an original ...
