UV disinfection is a powerful method for cleaning wastewater. It uses ultraviolet light to kill harmful germs. This process is becoming more common in water treatment plants. UV disinfection can make wastewater safe for release into the environment without using chemicals. It works by damaging the DNA of microbes. This stops them from reproducing. The […]
Salinity in wastewater is a growing concern for many industries and communities. High salt levels can harm the environment and make water treatment more difficult. Effective salinity management in wastewater is crucial for protecting ecosystems and ensuring sustainable water resources. Managing salinity involves careful monitoring and control strategies. Soil and water testing labs can analyze […]
PFAS, or “forever chemicals,” pose a major challenge for water treatment facilities. These persistent compounds resist traditional cleaning methods and can harm human health. New approaches are needed to tackle this growing problem. Scientists and engineers are developing innovative ways to remove PFAS from wastewater. Granular activated carbon filtration is emerging as a promising technique […]
Fenton reaction systems are powerful tools in chemistry. They use iron and hydrogen peroxide to create highly reactive molecules. These molecules can break down tough pollutants in water and soil. The Fenton reaction works best at a pH of about 3, which is lower than most natural soil conditions. This means it often needs some […]

Vacuum Degasification in Wastewater Treatment Methods Wastewater treatment is a critical component in managing and preserving our water resources and public health. With the continuous growth of the global population and industrialization, the demand for effective wastewater treatment methods has never been more pressing. One such method that has gained attention is vacuum degasification. […]
Unlocking the Aquatic Dilemma: Ultrasonic Irradiation and Its Role in Combatting Eutrophication Eutrophication is a term that captures a significant and growing global environmental challenge, particularly in aquatic ecosystems. It refers to the excessive enrichment of water bodies with nutrients, primarily nitrogen and phosphorus, leading to an array of ecological disturbances, including algal blooms, […]
Electrochemical Advanced Oxidation Processes (EAOPs) have gained a lot of attention in recent years for their potential applications in water treatment and pollution control. These processes use electricity to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can degrade organic pollutants in water. In this article, we will discuss the principles, mechanisms, and applications of EAOPs, as […]
Ozonation in wastewater is an advanced treatment method that utilizes ozone, a powerful oxidant, to remove a variety of contaminants from water. This process has been employed for over a century, initially focusing on disinfection, but has since evolved to address a wider range of inorganic and organic pollutants. The efficacy of ozonation in improving […]
Ammonia exchange in wastewater treatment is a critical process for managing nitrogen levels and maintaining environmental safety. High concentrations of ammonia in wastewater can lead to eutrophication in water bodies, a process that depletes oxygen and harms aquatic life. To address this, various technologies have been developed for the efficient removal or conversion of ammonia […]
