Modeling the Number of People Infected With SARS-COV-2 From Wastewater Viral Load in Northwest Spain
(Elsevier, 2022)[Abstract] The quantification of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA load in wastewater has emerged as a useful tool to monitor COVID–19 outbreaks in the community. This approach was implemented in the metropolitan area of A Coruña (NW ... -
Optimization of methane production from solid tuna waste: Thermal pretreatment and co-digestion
(Elsevier, 2024)[Abstract] Fish canning industries generate large amounts of solid waste during their processing operations, creating a significant environmental challenge. Nonetheless, this waste can be efficiently and sustainably treated ... -
Optimization of nutrient supply in a downflow gas-phase biofilter packed with an inert carrier
(Springer, 2002-01)Several methodologies were tested to supply nutrients to a downflow biofilter packed with perlite and used to treat toluene-polluted air. Despite the presence of an inorganic carrier, elimination capacities of up to around ... -
Optimization of the landfill leachate treatment by the Fenton process
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-03)The Fenton process was used with the objective of improving the biodegradability of the leachate pretreated biologically up to a value compatible with a subsequent biological treatment. The optimum reaction and settlement ... -
Optimization of the treatment of carbon monoxide-polluted air in biofilters
(Elsevier, 2009-01)This work is the first extensive study on the removal of carbon monoxide from polluted air in biofilters. It compares the performance of two packing materials, namely lava rock alone and a mixture of peat and lava rock. ... -
Parameters affecting performance and modeling of biofilters treating alkylbenzene-polluted air
(Springer, 2001-03)Both short-term and long-term biofiltration experiments were undertaken with a biofilter inoculated with a defined microbial consortium and treating an alkylbenzene mixture. The results obtained with such a biofilter in ... -
Partial Nitrification of Wastewater from an Aminoplastic Resin Producing Factory
(IWA Publishing, 2005)Nitrification via nitrite was studied in two aerobic reactors treating wastewater from an aminoplastic resin producing factory at HRT varying between 1.37-1.89 and 2.45-3.63 days. Both reactors were fed with concentrations ... -
Performance of a biofilter for the removal of high concentrations of styrene under steady and non-steady state conditions
(Elsevier, 2009-08-30)The performance of a laboratory scale perlite biofilter inoculated with a mixed culture was evaluated for gas phase styrene removal under various operating conditions. Experiments were carried out by subjecting the biofilter ... -
Performance of a fungal monolith bioreactor for the removal of styrene from polluted air
(Elsevier, 2010-04)Gas-phase styrene removal using the fungus, Sporothrix variecibatus was evaluated in a novel monolith bioreactor, receiving a continuous supply of nutrients from the trickling liquid phase. During the start-up process, ... -
Performance optimization of the fungal biodegradation of α-pinene in gas-phase biofilter
(Elsevier, 2006-08)A Ophiostoma species using α-pinene as the sole source of carbon and energy converted it into biomass, carbon dioxide and water. The strain was inoculated in a biofilter fed α-pinene polluted air, and it remained the ... -
Phenol biodegradation and its effect on the nitrification process
(Elsevier, 2005-08)Phenol biodegradation under aerobic conditions and its effect on the nitrification process were studied, first in batch assays and then in an activated sludge reactor. In batch assays, phenol was completely biodegraded at ... -
Polyhydroxyalkanoates Production From Syngas Fermentation Effluents: Effect of Nitrogen Availability
