Dairy wastewater is characterized by frequent episodes of drastic increases of organic content, giving rise to bulking filamentous bacteria and compromising the biological treatment process. This study reports the reduction ...

Spirulina platensis is a filamentous cyanobacterium, photosynthetic tissue that can live in soil, marshes, alkaline lakes and freshwater, brackish and marine. Microalgae cultivation is a beneficial process, not only due ...

This study aimed to assess the potential of the biochemical methane production and biodegradability of dairy wastewater employing a hybrid treatment: granular anaerobic sludge as inoculum and whole cells of Penicillium ...

The wastewater from the dairy industries usually contains high concentrations of contaminants and, since the volume generated is also high, the total contaminant load is very significant. Among the available options for ...

Dairy production plants produce highly polluted wastewaters rich in organic molecules such as lactose, proteins and fats. Fats generally lead to low overall performance of the treatment system. In this study, a wastewater ...

The aim of this work was to evaluate the efficiency of horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands (HSFCWs) planted with Typha domingensis and Phragmites australis in the final treatment of dairy wastewater. Ten ...

The aim of this work was to evaluate the influence of different substrates in the performance of a horizontal flow constructed wetland employed in dairy farm wastewater treatment. Typha domingensis was chosen for this study ...
