Applications of Polyvinylamine in Removal of Heavy Metals from Wastewater by Polymer-Enhanced Ultrafiltration and Adsorption
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-14)In this study, water-soluble polyvinylamine (PVAm) was used as chelating agent for heavy metal removal from wastewater by polymer-enhanced ultrafiltration (PEUF). The effects of parameters involved in the ultrafiltration ... -
Crisis Overstated? Knowledge Gaps and the Aging Water Workforce
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-27)ABSTRACT Beginning in 1946 fertility in Canada and other Western countries increased to rates unequaled throughout the rest of the 20th century. Sixty five years since the beginning of the baby boom, as this generation ... -
Growth of rainbow darter (Etheostoma caeruleum) in the Grand River watershed
(University of Waterloo, 2020-11-27)Assessment of growth is an important tool in fisheries assessment and management and provides valuable insight into biological responses to stressors in biomonitoring programs. A small-bodied fish species, rainbow darter ... -
Impact of Powdered Activated Carbon on Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactors Treating Municipal Wastewater under Psychrophilic Conditions
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-06)The anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) is an emerging technology, which has the potential for anaerobic digestion of wastewaters (WW) at high efficiency while generating biogas as a by-product (Harb et al., 2017). One ... -
Investigation of the Effects of Coagulation on Membrane Filtration of Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor Effluent
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-19)The combination of moving bed biofilm reactors and membrane bioreactors (MBBR-MR) can compensate for the drawbacks of both of these systems and further increase their acceptance and application in wastewater treatment ... -
Phosphorus Removal and Recovery from Wastewater using Sorbent Technologies
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-03)Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient in fertilizers that are necessary for food production. Wastewater may represent a renewable source of nutrients if methods for recovering P from dilute wastewater streams can be ... -
Syntrophic interactions between anode-respiring bacteria and non-anode-respiring bacteria in microbial electrochemical cells
(University of Waterloo, 2015-10-19)Microbial electrochemical cells (MECs), a promising technology for recovering value-added products from waste biomass and wastewater, require syntrophic interactions between anode-respiring bacteria (ARB) and non-ARB for ... -
Treatment of Water-borne Nutrients, Pathogens, and Pharmaceutical Compounds using Basic Oxygen Furnace Slag
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-27)Phosphorus (P) is one of the essential nutrients for living organisms; however, excess P in aquatic systems often causes environmental and ecological problems including eutrophication. Removal of P from domestic wastewater, ...
