Nitrogen and phosphorus pollution can cause eutrophication, resulting in ecosystem
disruption. Wastewater treatment systems employing microalgae-bacteria consortia have the …

A wide range of microorganisms produce extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), highly
hydrated polymers that are mainly composed of polysaccharides, proteins, and DNA. EPS …

Microplastics (MPs) are a type of contaminants produced during the use and disposal of
plastic products, which are ubiquitous in our lives. With the high specific surface area and …

Flocculation is a water and wastewater treatment technology whereby the large aggregation
of flocs in water can be formed and be later separated through sedimentation. This review …

Flocculation is a key process for controlling the fate and transport of suspended particulate
matter (SPM) in water environments and has received considerable attention in the field of …

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) with high molecular weights, secreted from
microorganisms, play a critical functional role in the aerobic granular sludge (AGS). To …

Waste activated sludge (biosolids) treatment is intensely a major problem around the globe.
Anaerobic treatment is indeed a fundamental and most popular approach to convert organic …

The present study investigated biosorption of Pb (II) and Zn (II) using a heavy metal tolerant
bacterium Oceanobacillus profundus KBZ 3-2 isolated from a contaminated site. The effects …

The increasing water pollution caused by the presence of nano-and microplastics has
shown a need to pursue solutions to remediate this problem. In this work, an extracellular …

A good floc formation of activated sludge (AS) is crucial for solid-liquid separation and
production of clean effluent during wastewater treatment. Floc formation is partly controlled …
