Initial Biodegradation Potential of Microcystin-LR by Biofilters Experiencing Sudden Cyanobacterial Blooms in Drinking Water Treatment
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-20)Cyanobacterial blooms have become a major cause of drinking water problems because certain metabolites from cyanobacteria are toxic to human health. Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is one of the most commonly detected cyanotoxins. ... -
Performance of Biological Filters for Drinking Water Treatment and Their Use for High Pressure Membrane Biofouling Control
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-18)Biofiltration is a promising green drinking water treatment technology that can reduce the concentration of biodegradable organic matter (BOM) in water. Direct biofiltration or biofiltration without pretreatment (BFwp) ... -
Removal of Perfluorinated Compounds from Ultrapure and Surface Waters by Adsorption and Ion Exchange
(University of Waterloo, 2015-02-02)Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) have been detected globally in drinking water at trace concentrations. This is attributable to the chemical properties that characterize these compounds: strong saturated carbon-fluorine ...
