Wastewater filtration is a physical or mechanical process used to remove impurities from wastewater. It initially involves the removal of suspended solids, bacteria and debris, leading to water clarification and producing safer water for discharge or reuse. Biofiltration adds the microbial metabolism of pollutants to the simple physical removal of solids. Common biofilter materials include inert media such as plastic, ceramic or zeolite, selected for their high surface-to-mass ratio, as biofilm-based processes occ...

Within the Project -National Biodiversity Future Center (NBFC)-, funded by the European Union Next Generation EU (PNRR), Spoke 2 Activity 3 Task 3.2, the Research Unit of CNR IRSA Taranto (Italy) monitored the growth performances, microbiological and nutritional quality as well as PAHs and PCBs content of the invasive Atlantic pearl oysters Pinctada radiata in the Gulf of Taranto. Oysters were located in lanternets in an integrated multitrophic aquaculture (IMTA) system and co-cultured with polychaetes and macroal...
