The generation of alum sludge from drinking water purification process remains inevitable when aluminium sulphate is used as primary coagulant for raw water coagulation. Sustainable managing such the sludge becomes an ...
Concept and purpose
Virtually all water treatment facilities worldwide generate an enormous amount of water treatment residual (WTR) solids for which environmentally-friendly end-use options are continually being sought ...
Excess phosphorus (P) in wastewaters promotes eutrophication in receiving waterways. A cost-effective method such as use of novel low-cost adsorbents for its adsorptive removal would significantly reduce such impacts. Using ...
In this study, dewatered alum sludge cakes were used as substrate in a laboratory
scale tidal vertical flow reed bed system treating animal farm wastewater. The
“tidal flow” operation was employed to enhance oxygen ...
The concept, design and performance analysis of a four-stage novel constructed wetland system (CWs) capable of enhanced and simultaneous removal of phosphorus (P) and organic matter (OM) from wastewaters is described. Alum ...
This study assessed the potential reuse of an aluminium coagulated drinking–water treatment sludge (Al–DWTS) as a main substrate in constructed wetland to replace soil for the treatment of P-enriched wastewater. The ...
