Contamination of water bodies with dyes has become a serious global concern affecting the
whole biosphere. Microwave irradiation and advanced oxidation processes (AOP) have …

In this study, a combined alkaline (ALK) and ultrasonication (ULS) sludge lysis-cryptic
pretreatment and anoxic/oxic (AO) system (AO+ ALK/ULS) was developed to enhance …

Activated sludge is hard to be dewatered due to the highly water bounded in sludge flocs.
This study investigated the hybrid treatment of microwave irradiation and acidification on …

Supercapacitors (SC), as one of the most competitive energy storage devices, are receiving
great attention in R&D community. Carbonaceous materials for supercapacitor electrodes …

This book will present the theory involved in wastewater treatment processes, define the
important design parameters involved, and provide typical values of these parameters for …

The demand for energy has increased tremendously around the whole world due to rapid
urbanization and booming industrialization. Energy is the major key to achieving an …

Sewage sludge generation is steadily rising because of urbanization and population
increase. Handling the excess sludge is a tedious and costly task. Although anaerobic …

Ultrasonic irradiation can effectively achieve in-situ sludge reduction, and the frequency of
ultrasonic lysis may affect the performance. This study explored the effect of ultrasonic lysis …

In this study, carbon spheres were synthesized from rice husk with hydrothermal
carbonization method at different temperatures and different reaction times. Surface areas …
