Development of a Compact, Energy-Positive Food Waste Treatment Process
(University of Waterloo, 2019-04-17)This study developed an innovative bioprocess for food waste (FW) treatment by combining a leach bed reactor (LBR) with an anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR). The two bioreactors were consistently operated at neutral ... -
Electrogeneration of hydrogen peroxide for applications in water/wastewater treatment
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-29)Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an effective, environmentally friendly oxidant used directly and in advanced oxidation processes for water and wastewater treatment. Although most H2O2 is currently manufactured offsite, ... -
Extracellular Electron Transport in Microbial Electrochemical Cells
(University of Waterloo, 2016-06-30)Microbial electrochemical cells (MxCs) are engineered biological systems that use microbial metabolism of anode-respiring bacteria (ARB) to catalyze electron transfer from a soluble electron donor to the anode via extracellular ... -
Fermentation of Food Waste in a Leach Bed Reactor- Effects of pH and Inoculum to Substrate Ratio
(University of Waterloo, 2018-12-19)A more sustainable method for the treatment of accumulated food waste, instead of landfilling, is in urgently need. Fermentation is one of the most promising waste-to-energy technologies for energy recovery from food waste. ... -
Hypoxic Methane Oxidation Coupled to Denitrification in a Membrane Biofilm Reactor
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-13)Nitrate removal has become a necessity in Canada and around the globe as a means to mitigate harmful effects from nitrogen compounds, such as eutrophication, which pose toxic hazards to both aquatic life as well as human ...
