This article presents the potential of biochar used in wastewater treatment processes and sludge management in small installations - for the maximum maintained number of users equal to 50. The possibilities of two substances used in sewage management processes, such as char and biochar will be presented. These substances, produced from pyrolysis, are stable carbon-rich compounds which have various beneficial applications like soil conditioning, remediation and wastewater treatment. In particular, biochar originati...

In this study, biosorptive characteristics of mustard waste functionalized with METALSORB (which is a precipitation agent used on an industrial scale) were examined for the removal of Cu(II) ions from galvanizing industrial wastewater. Batch experiments were performed in order to study the influence of initial Cu(II) ions concentration and contact time under optimal experimental conditions, and the results were compared with those obtained on mustard waste biomass (before functionalizing treatment). Equilibrium da...

The bioconversion of plant raw materials into highly added value products, as well as the development of new products with advanced characteristics has a high priority for modern biotechnology in the Russian Federation. Deproteinized sunflower meal has been used as a source of carbohydrates and organic nitrogen for the yeast S. cerevisiae fermentation after subsequent acidic and enzymatic treatment. As a result a protein-rich yeast biomass was formed, as well as a liquid fraction, containing non-metabolized pentos...

Considering the widespread pollution and the need for taking drastic measures to protect the environment, it is necessary to constantly optimize the treatment stages within the wastewater treatment plants in order to meet the quality standards when discharging wastewater into surface water. The paper presents a study on a wastewater treatment plant in Romania that serves a municipality with a population of approximately 400,000 inhabitants, having a sewerage network working in a unitary system. The study followed ...
