A variety of organic waste originating from industrial activities are increasingly accumulating
worldwide, especially in developed regions; however, organic waste can potentially be …

Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) is a novel microbial community which allows simultaneous
removal of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and other pollutants in a single sludge system …

The high aggregation ability of anammox sludge has been extensively observed, but the
cause for their aggregation is challenging. Here the structure and composition of …

Biofilms are aggregates of bacteria, in most cases, which are resistant usually to broad-
spectrum antibiotics in their typical concentrations or even in higher doses. A trend of …

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) are key biological substances, which largely
determine properties of sludge flocs, including hydrophobicity, adhesion, flocculation …

A review concerning the definition, extraction, characterization, production and functions of
extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) of microbial aggregates in biological wastewater …

Written by experts in the field, this thoroughly updated third edition covers commonly used
and emerging suspended and attached growth reactors. Drawing on their extensive …

Integrated fixed-film activated sludge (IFAS) process is considered as one of the leading-
edge processes that provides a sustainable solution for wastewater treatment. IFAS was …

The polyaniline (PANI) material was used to enhance the formation process of aerobic
granular sludge (AGS) in this study. The effect of PANI on the granulation and stability of …

Granular sludge aggregates are particular types of biofilms that display significantly different
metrics and physical-chemical characteristics than activated sludge flocs. The efficiency of …
