Inoculum-free start-up of biofilm- and sludge-based deammonification systems in pilot scale
Undiluted reject water from the dewatering of anaerobic sludge with an average total nitrogen content of 718 ± 117 mg L−1 (n = 63) was used to start-up autotrophic nitrogen removal in three different pilot-scale...

The selective salinity and hydrazine parameters for the start-up of non-anammox-specific biomass SBR
The presence of ammonium (NH4+) in wastewater above the permissible limits leads to undesirable ecological impact and public health concerns. In this study, the anaerobic ammonium oxidizing (anammox) bacteria-med...

Removal of crystal violet from wastewater using synthesized graphene quantum dots as adsorbents: kinetic approach
Aromatic triarylmethane dyes residues cause serious water pollution in environment. Adsorbents, such as graphene oxide (GO), have great potential for using them for removal of dyes such as crystal violet (CV) ...
