The need for stringent phosphorus removal from domestic wastewater is increasing to mitigate eutrophication, while efficient phosphate reuse is critical due to the global phosphate crisis. Combining aluminum sulfate (ALS) with high molecular weight organic polymers achieved 95-99% removal of particles, turbidity, and phosphates, reducing ALS usage by 40%. We propose mechanisms to explain the enhanced treatment efficiency.

This work focused on the biotreatment of wastewater and contaminated soil in a used oil recycling plant located in Bizerte. A continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and a trickling filter (TF) were used to treat stripped and collected wastewater, respectively. The CSTR was started up and stabilized for 90 days.

The advanced anaerobic technology (AAT), developed based on an immobilized high-rate anaerobic reactor, was applied as a pretreatment of municipal wastewater (WW) at Karmiel's treatment plant in Israel. The demonstration-scale AAT (21 m) system was operated at a flow rate of 100 mday municipal WW mixed with olive mill wastewater (OMW) (0.5 mday) to simulate the scenario of illegal discharge of agro-industrial WW.

Granular activated carbon (GAC) and GAC modified with anthraquinone-2-sulfonate (AQS) were used as conductive materials during the anaerobic digestion of swine wastewater (SW). The electron transfer capacity (ETC) in the GAC-AQS was 2.1-fold higher than the unmodified GAC.

Unlabelled: is well adapted to survive and persist in the infected host, escaping the host's immune response. Since polyamines such as spermine, which are synthesized by infected macrophages, are able to inhibit the growth of , the pathogen needs strategies to cope with these toxic metabolites. The actinomycete , a close relative of makes use of a gamma-glutamylation pathway to functionally neutralize spermine.
