Cyanobacteria are prokaryotic aerobic photosynthetic microorganisms with the capacity to remove nutrients from wastewater and synthesize a large variety of bioactive compounds and valuable byproducts. Among those valuable ...
In this PhD. Thesis the results of eleven studies about the presence, distribution, and effects of personal care products (PCPs) in the environment are presented with the intention of giving a consolidated vision and to ...
A wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is a system that aims to reduce the negative impact to bodies of water where the effluent is discharged. reducing the pollutants discharged. Treatment plants have an impact on the ...
Artificial recharge of aquifers through infiltration basins (AR) improves water quality and in- creases groundwater resources, which make of it an appropriate technique for the renaturalization of waters affected directly ...
Water is undoubtedly the most essential resource of humanity. However. supplying the human population with clean water has been a major challenge for decades. Contaminants in wastewaters endanger water bodies and the ...
This thesis aimed to explore the potential of Se/Zn-enriched bioproducts produced from wastewater treatment processes by eco-technologies (phytoextraction, bioreduction and microalgae-based systems) as Se/Zn feed supplements ...
Currently, there is a serious problem due to the large generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) due to the high consumption rates of the population and the short time of use of the products. Moreover, there is poor waste ...
Air pollution is an environmental challenge that has an important influence on the life of human beings. Therefore, the development, implementation, and evaluation of new statistical approaches will improve the numerical ...
Microalgae-based wastewater treatment systems are promising solutions to shift the paradigm from wastewater treatment to energy and resources recovery. In these systems, microalgae assimilate nutrients and produce oxygen ...
Textile wastewater often shows high color concentration, containing a large range of organic chemicals, with high chemical oxygen demand as well as hard-degradation materials. Therefore, understanding and developing effective ...
Infiltration systems are water treatment technologies where water vertically percolates through porous media while several biogeochemical processes occur. Biofilms are the main responsible for those biogeochemical processes ...
The natural environment in which we live, is subjected, to a greater or lesser extent, to the pressure of human activity, with water being one of the most sensitive elements. For this reason, aware of this situation, from ...
Many people lose their homes every year due to natural disasters. One of the major challenges to mollify displaced persons is the provision of adequate post-disaster accommodations, temporary housing (TH) being the most ...
The anaerobic digestion (AD) consists of a cascade of syntrophic interactions between several microbial groups that result in the breakdown of biodegradable organic matter in the absence of oxygen, resulting in the production ...
Anthropogenic pollution represents a major concern for aquatic ecosystem, which has been affected by a complex cocktail of heterogeneous compounds that may provoke significant toxic effects to the living organisms. Among ...
