Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how effective anaerobic digestion and electrochemical methods are at killing helminth eggs (HE) in wastewater, which pose health risks if not properly treated.
- - Results showed anaerobic digestion can achieve a 98% reduction of HE over 35 days, while electrochemical treatment reached only 10% inactivation after 24 hours at a high concentration.
- - It concludes that the success of these treatments in inactivating HE depends on various factors, highlighting the need for more reliable disinfection methods in managing wastewater.
Phosphogypsum (CaSO) is produced as a waste by-product during phosphoric acid production in the fertilizer industry. Only 15% of worldwide phosphogypsum production is recycled, while 85% is stored in the vicinity of factories as huge piles resulting in environmental and health hazards. An extensively studied biotransformation of phosphogypsum to calcium carbonate or calcite (CaCO) using sulfate reducing bacteria (SRBs) is a prolonged process and results in the formation of extremely hazardous HS gas.
