  1. 1. Biokinetic Characterization of Methane Oxidizing Microbiomes Co-metabolizing Trace Organic Chemicals

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi

    Author : Hugo Möller; [2024]
    Keywords : Methanotrophs; organic micropollutants; co-metabolism; biodegradation; applied microbiology; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The presence of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in wastewater effluents is concerning, as they pose a threat to human and aquatic health. Biodegradation via methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) is an attractive option, as the method is cheap and effective. MOB can co-metabolize a variety of substrates, there among organic micropollutants.

  3. 2. Effect of Mycorrhizal Inoculation on Growth and Nutrient Uptake by Leek (Allium porrum) fertilized with Inorganic N Combined with Saturated Polonite

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Emmanuel Owusu Boateng; [2023]
    Keywords : Phosphorus; Arbuscular Mycorrhiza fungi; Saturated polonite; Nitrogen; Allium porrum; Sustainability; circular economy;

    Abstract : The continuous rise in global population continues to increase the demand for food. Meeting this rise in demand requires an increase in agricultural input, such as applying fertilizers, including phosphorus (P). READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluating the suitability of carbon source from fermentation of primary filter sludge for biological nutrient removal

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Sanna Sahlin; [2021]
    Keywords : Wastewater treatment; batch activity tests; NUR tests; anaerobic P release tests; EBPR; denitrification; removal rates; internal carbon source; fermentate; water and environmental engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Traditional biological nutrient removal (BNR) processes in wastewater treatment require access to easily biodegradable carbon in order to achieve sufficient removal. However, a lot of the carbon in the influent wastewater is not directly available for BNR bacteria but need to undergo hydrolysis first. READ MORE

  5. 4. Evaluation of Nitration/Anammox process by bacterial activity tests.

    University essay from KTH/Mark- och vattenteknik

    Author : Anna Mika; [2015]
    Keywords : Partial Nitritation Anammox process; Integrated fixed-film acti-vated sludge IFAS reactor; Batch tests; Specific Anammox Activity SAA ; Nitrate Uptake Rate NUR ; Oxygen Uptake Rate OUR ; Ammonium Oxi-dizing Bacteria AOB ; Nitrite Oxidizing Bacteria NOB ; Heterotrophic bac-teria;

    Abstract : Partial Nitritation/Anammox process (deammonification process), by which occurs oxidation of ammonium to nitrogen gas by autotrophic bacteria in anaerobic conditions, considered to be cost-effective and environmentally friendly method of nitrogen removal. Present research work focuses on achieving a high nitrogen removal degree, thanks to Anammox bacteria, while providing the best performance of the ongoing process. READ MORE

  6. 5. The effect of different carbon sources on reduction of nitrate in effluent from the mining industry : Olika kolkällors inverkan på reduktion av nitrat i processvatten från gruvindustrin

    University essay from

    Author : Hanna Lindberg; [2014]
    Keywords : Denitrification; mine effluent; nitrogen; external carbon; sediment;

    Abstract : Mine water effluent contains high levels of nitrogen due to residues from undetonated ammonium- nitrate based explosives. Excess nitrogen in aquatic ecosystems can cause eutrophication. READ MORE
