Constructed wetlands operated as bioelectrochemical systems for the removal of organic micropollutants
M. Hartl, M. J. García-Galán, V. Matamoros +5
The removal of organic micropollutants (OMPs) has been investigated in constructed wetlands (CWs) operated as bioelectrochemical systems (BES). The operation of CWs as BES (CW-BES)…
Contaminants removal and bacterial activity enhancement along the flow path of constructed wetland microbial fuel cells
Marco Hartl, Diego F. Bedoya-Ríos, Marta Fernández-Gatell +4
Microbial fuel cells implemented in constructed wetlands (CW-MFCs), albeit a relatively new technology still under study, have shown to improve treatment efficiency of urban wastew…
Fate of priority pharmaceuticals and their main metabolites and transformation products in microalgae-based wastewater treatment systems
Maria Jesus Garcia-Galan, Larissa Arashiro, Lucia H. M. L. M. Santos +5
The present study evaluates the removal capacity of two high rate algae ponds (HRAPs) to eliminate 12 pharmaceuticals (PhACs) and 26 of their corresponding main metabolites and tra…
Life Cycle Assessment of high rate algal ponds for wastewater treatment and resource recovery
Larissa Terumi Arashiro, Neus Montero, Ivet Ferrer +3
The aim of this study was to assess the potential environmental impacts associated with high rate algal ponds (HRAP) systems for wastewater treatment and resource recovery in small…
Natural pigments from microalgae grown in industrial wastewater
Larissa T. Arashiro, Maria Boto-Ordonez, Stijn W. H. Van Hulle +3
The aim of this study was to investigate the cultivation of Nostoc sp., Arthrospira platensis and Porphyridium purpureum in industrial wastewater to produce phycobiliproteins. Init…
The effect of primary treatment of wastewater in high rate algal pond systems: biomass and bioenergy recovery
Larissa T. Arashiro, Ivet Ferrer, Diederik P. L. Rousseau +2
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of primary treatment on the performance of two pilot-scale high rate algal ponds (HRAPs) treating urban wastewater, considering their…
