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 ... -
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 ...
