Der Artikel präsentiert die Resultate der Grohmann Vorlesung, die am Ende der Corona Pandemie in Deuschland gehalten wurde. Er gibt einen Überblick über die Defizite des Monitorings der Pandemie in Deutschland und schlägt Alternativen vor, wie man bei zukünftigen Pandemien verfahren sollte....

Wastewater generated from N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) manufacture was used as electron donor for denitrification in tertiary treatment. The organic components of NMP wastewater were mainly NMP and monomethylamine (CH3NH2), and their biodegradation released ammonium that was nitrified to nitrate...

In recent years, problems related to the adequacy of existing water resources have arisen due to issues such as population growth, rapid urbanization, industrialization, and climate change. In the study, by comparing the agricultural productions with wastewater and well water, 2 hypotheses have...

It has long been understood that public utilities, and especially sewers, play a powerful role in shaping patterns, rates, and forms of urban development. But decisions about whether and where to build this “growth-shaping” infrastructure are largely left to local communities, who frequently...

With the increase in shipping density, the risk of wastewater generated by ships in coastal areas has raised much attention. The present study proposes a model to estimate the spatiotemporal distribution of wastewater including greywater and sewage generated by ships in coastal areas. The model...

Abstract: The contamination of soil and water with heavy metals, such as cadmium and lead, is a serious problem. Previous remediation techniques are not effective when these two toxic elements are immobilized. Microbial induced carbonate precipitation has been proven to effectively remove heavy...

The effect of anaerobic sludge digestion on the isolation of DNA and clean-up efficiency of obtained DNA isolates was studied. Sludge samples were taken from a mesophlic full-scale, and batch digesters operated under mesophilic and thermophilic conditions. Declines over 90% in the extraction...

Microwave-assisted Fenton process over a high microwave-responsive catalyst (Fe3O4-BiOCl) was developed to environment-friendly treat toluene nitrification wastewater. The morphology, composition and magnetic recovery of the prepared catalyst were analyzed using various analytical instruments....
