Excess phosphate in water bodies can lead to eutrophication, causing algal blooms that reduce oxygen levels and threaten aquatic ecosystems. Removing phosphate from wastewater, agricultural runoff, and other point sources before they enter natural water systems is an essential strategy for preventing eutrophication. Biochar, a porous carbonaceous material produced by pyrolyzing biomass under oxygen-limited conditions, […]

Boron is a ubiquitous element in the environment, often found in various concentrations in wastewater due to industrial processes, agricultural runoff, and household use. Its presence, while natural, can become problematic at high concentrations, posing risks to aquatic ecosystems and human health. The stringent regulatory standards for boron discharge necessitate effective removal methods from wastewater […]

Wastewater treatment is essential for protecting water resources and human health, and microscreens play a critical role in this process. Microscreens are fine screening devices used in wastewater treatment to remove small particles, a process pivotal for protecting downstream processes such as biological treatment and disinfection. The technology behind microscreens includes rotating drum screens or […]

Non-potable water is water that has not been treated or purified to the level necessary for safe human consumption. It encompasses a variety of water types that are utilized for purposes other than drinking, such as irrigation, flushing toilets, and industrial processes. Addressing the question “What is non-potable water?” it is essential to clarify that […]
