In nature, microbes tend to form synergistic biofilms on a wide range of materials using
extracellular polymeric substances to embed sessile cells. Problematic biofilms provide …

The treatment and disposal of waste activated sludge (WAS) has become one of the major
challenges for the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) due to large output, high treatment …

Ethanol and lactate are considered suitable electron donors (EDs) for chain elongation (CE);
however, their respective shortcomings still limit the substrate conversion ratio and medium …

Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) has been recently used as an additive to pretreat waste activated
sludge (WAS) to enhance short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) production. However, the …

Microbially catalyzed corrosion of metals is a substantial economic concern. Aerobic
microbes primarily enhance Fe 0 oxidation through indirect mechanisms and their impact …

This paper reviews the recent achievements in the enhanced production of volatile fatty
acids (VFAs) from waste activated sludge (WAS). The enhanced strategies are divided into …

Simultaneous sludge fermentation and nitrite removal is an effective approach to enhance
nutrient removal from low carbon-wastewater. It was found in this work that the presence of …

The use of polymeric adsorbent for decontamination of various sources of water was
critically reviewed. This arises from the alarming increase in water scarcity in many parts of …

Microplastics in wastewater inevitably accumulate in waste activated sludge (WAS) via
wastewater biological treatment, potentially affecting the subsequent sludge treatment unit …

Adsorption is a commonly used method for industrial wastewater treatment because of its
low-cost, easy operation and high efficiency. In this work, chitosan was crosslinked and …
