• Biodegradation and effect of formaldehyde and phenol on the denitrification process 

      Eiroa, M.; Vilar, A.; Amor, L.; Kennes, Christian; Veiga, María Carmen (Elsevier, 2005)
      Formaldehyde and phenol biodegradation during the denitrification process was studied at lab-scale, first in anoxic batch assays and then in a continuous anoxic reactor. The biodegradation of formaldehyde (260 mg l−1) as ...
    • Biological treatment of industrial wastewater containing formaldehyde and formic acid. 

      Eiroa, M.; Vilar, A.; Kennes, Christian; Veiga, María Carmen (South African Water Research Comission, 2006-01)
      The biological treatment of wastewater from an aminoplastic resin-producing industry was studied in a pre-denitrifica- tion system. This study reports results on the removal of organic matter and nitrogen compounds from ...
    • Combined post-ozonation and biological treatment of recalcitrant wastewater from a resin-producing factory 

      Aparicio, M.A.; Eiroa, M.; Kennes, Christian; Veiga, María Carmen (Elsevier, 2007-05)
      In this study, effluent from the biological treatment of wastewater from a resin-producing factory containing recalcitrant compounds was ozonated under different conditions. Afterwards, the biodegradability of the ozonated ...
    • Effect of phenol on the biological treatment of wastewaters from a resin producing industry 

      Eiroa, M.; Vilar, A.; Kennes, Christian; Veiga, María Carmen (Elsevier, 2008-06)
      The effect of phenol on the biological treatment of wastewaters from a resin producing industry was analyzed in a pre-denitrification system. First, the effect of phenol overloads on the removal of organic matter and ...
    • Evaluation of the biomethane potential of solid fish waste 

      Eiroa, M.; Costa, J.C.; Alves, M.M.; Kennes, Christian; Veiga, María Carmen (Elsevier, 2012-07)
      Manufacturing processes in fish canning industries generate a considerable amount of solid waste that can be digested anaerobically. The aim of this research was to study the biochemical methane potential of different solid ...
    • Formaldehyde and urea removal in a denitrifying granular sludge blanket reactor 

      Eiroa, M.; Kennes, Christian; Veiga, María Carmen (Elsevier, 2004-09)
      Simultaneous formaldehyde biodegradation, urea hydrolysis and denitrification in anoxic batch assays and in a continuous laboratory anoxic reactor were investigated. In batch assays, the initial formaldehyde biodegradation ...
