Renewable and sustainable water treatment using Moringa oleifera Lam. and biochar
… for domestic application of MO and biochar for water treatment. To achieve this goal, the researcher first identified the contaminants generally present in water and their prescribed limits in drinking water in developed countries and some developing regions. Their potential health impacts and …

Development of a sustainable water treatment technology for oxyanions using palladium-based catalysts: catalyst design, reaction mechanisms, and life cycle assessment
… are oxyanion contaminants found in many drinking water sources, causing human health risks when consumed even at low concentrations. These oxyanions are not removed via conventional drinking water treatment processes, and require specialized treatment. One emerging technology for destroying …

Approaches to modeling pathogen and natural organic matter removals in slow-rate biofilters
… removals in one of the world's oldest and most sustainable water treatment systems: slow-rate biofilters. This research addresses the problem by deriving semi-empirical models that predict pathogen and natural organic matter removals within these natural and engineered sand filters. The more …

Advanced characterization of transport and microstructural properties in membrane materials
Membranes are employed in a variety of sustainable water treatment and energy conversion technologies. Advancing membrane materials for new separations includes unraveling the complex structure-property relationships that govern water and salt transport in conjunction with scaling processing …

Design of silica-based sustainable biomaterial adsorbents from agricultural waste for the microextraction and adsorptive removal of insecticides and antibiotics from wastewater samples
Water pollution caused by persistent organic contaminants, such as antibiotics and pesticides, has become a critical global challenge, threatening aquatic ecosystems, human health, and sustainable water resources. Conventional treatment technologies, including advanced oxidation processes, membrane …

Selection of bacterial species from wastewater for potential production of poly (γ-glutamic acid): isolation, characterisation and growth kinetics
Wastewater treatment plants represent a source of nutrients for microbial growth and product formation. In an approach in which bioresource productivity is maximised, it is desirable to not only achieve water treatment to the desired standard, but at the same time to harness the value in these …
