The demand for bottled drinking water in Bangladesh is becoming popular due to
the lack of safe drinking water sources. The present study was carried out to
assess the water quality and public health impacts of local brands of bottled
drinking water and tube-well water, compared to the imported ones. Several
state-of-the-art techniques were employed to determine the contents of pH, EC,
salinity, c... hiện toàn bộ
Physiological Profiling and Functional Diversity of Groundwater Microbial Communities in a Municipal Solid Waste Landfill AreaMDPI AG - Tập 11 Số 12 - Trang 2624
Marco Melita, Stefano Amalfitano, Elisabetta Preziosi, Stefano Ghergo, Eleonora Frollini, Daniele Parrone, Annamaria Zoppini
The disposal of municipal solid wastes in landfills represents a major threat
for aquifer environments at the global scale. The aim of this study was to
explore how groundwater geochemical characteristics can influence the microbial
community functioning and the potential degradation patterns of selected organic
substrates in response to different levels of landfill-induced alterations.

Adsorptive Behavior of an Activated Carbon for Bisphenol A Removal in Single and Binary (Bisphenol A—Heavy Metal) SolutionsMDPI AG - Tập 12 Số 8 - Trang 2150
M.A. Martín-Lara, M. Calero, A. Ronda, I. Iáñez-Rodríguez, Carlos Escudero‐Oñate
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an extensively produced and consumed chemical in the world.
Due to its widespread use, contamination by this pollutant has increased in
recent years, reaching a critical environmental point. This work investigates
the feasibility of bisphenol A adsorption from industrial wastewater solutions,
testing the reduction of bisphenol A in synthetic solutions by a commercial
activated... hiện toàn bộ
Intermittent Aeration in a Hybrid Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor for Carbon and Nutrient Biological RemovalMDPI AG - Tập 12 Số 2 - Trang 492
Gaetano Di Bella, Giorgio Mannina
The paper presents an experimental study on a lab scale hybrid moving bed
biofilm reactor with intermittent aeration. Specifically, a comparison between
two different operating conditions was analyzed: continuous and intermittent
aeration. Both continuous and intermittent aeration were monitored and compared
in order to get the best operational conditions. The intermittent aeration
campaign was su... hiện toàn bộ
Treatment of Dairy Wastewater by Oxygen Injection: Occurrence and Removal Efficiency of a Benzotriazole Based AnticorrosiveMDPI AG - Tập 10 Số 2 - Trang 155
Santiago Martín-Rilo, Ricardo N. Coimbra, Carla Escapa, Marta Otero
Benzotriazole is used as corrosion inhibitor in many industrial sectors, such as
the dairy industry. Due to its widespread use in various applications and
everyday consumer products, this chemical easily reaches the aquatic
environment, where it may have deleterious effects. In fact, benzotriazole has
been included among the so-called emerging contaminants. In this work, the
occurrence and fate of... hiện toàn bộ
A Two Decadal (1993–2012) Numerical Assessment of Sediment Dynamics in the Northern Gulf of MexicoMDPI AG - Tập 11 Số 5 - Trang 938
Zhengchen Zang, Z. George Xue, Kehui Xu, Samuel J. Bentley, Qin Chen, Eurico J. D’Sa, Qian Ge
We adapted the coupled ocean-sediment transport model to the northern Gulf of
Mexico to examine sediment dynamics on seasonal-to-decadal time scales as well
as its response to decreased fluvial inputs from the Mississippi-Atchafalaya
River. Sediment transport on the shelf exhibited contrasting conditions in a
year, with strong westward transport in spring, fall, and winter, and relatively
weak eas... hiện toàn bộ
Dynamics of Bacterial Community Diversity and Structure in the Terminal Reservoir of the South-To-North Water Diversion Project in ChinaMDPI AG - Tập 10 Số 6 - Trang 709
Jiangqi Qu, Chengxia Jia, Qing Liu, Zhi Li, Pan Liu, Yang Mu, Meng Zhao, Wentong Li, Zhu Hua, Qingjing Zhang
The South-to-North Water Diversion Project (SNWDP) is the largest water transfer
project in the world, and its purpose is to relax water constraints in a region
facing severe water scarcity. Bacterial communities from these reservoirs are
important to human health, and analyzing their diversity and structure is
crucial to water safety. Here, we investigated the dynamics of bacterial
communities an... hiện toàn bộ
