The capture technology matters: Composition of municipal wastewater solids drives complexity of microbial community structure and volatile fatty acid profile during anaerobic fermentation

Pierre Rossi, Arnaud Michel Gelb

The production of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) represents a relevant option to valorize municipal wastewater (MWW). In this context, different capture technologies can be used to recover organic carbon from wastewater in form of solids, while pre-treatment ...

Characterization of Chemisorbed Species and Active Adsorption Sites in Mg-Al Mixed Metal Oxides for High-Temperature CO2 Capture

Berend Smit, Kevin Maik Jablonka, Susana Garcia Lopez, Christopher Patrick Ireland

Mg-Al mixed metal oxides (MMOs), derived from the decomposition of layered double hydroxides (LDHs), have been purposed as adsorbents for CO2 capture of industrial plant emissions. To aid in the design and optimization of these materials for CO2 capture at ...

Super adsorption performance of carboxymethyl cellulose/copper oxide-nickel oxide nanocomposite toward the removal of organic and inorganic pollutants

Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin

A novel nanocomposite bead based on polymeric matrix of carboxymethyl cellulose and copper oxide-nickel oxide nanoparticles was synthesized, characterized, and applied for adsorptive removal of inorganic and organic contaminants at trace level of part per ...

Formation of transformation products during ozonation of secondary wastewater effluent and their fate in post-treatment: From laboratory-to full-scale

Urs von Gunten

Ozonation is increasingly applied in water and wastewater treatment for the abatement of micropollutants (MPs). However, the transformation products formed during ozonation (OTPs) and their fate in biological or sorptive post-treatments is largely unknown. ...

Rapid Gas Transport from Block-Copolymer Templated Nanoporous Carbon Films

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Kuang-Jung Hsu, Marina Micari, Xuekui Duan, Mostapha Dakhchoune, Luis Francisco Villalobos Vazquez de la Parra, Jing Zhao

Porous carbon films, attributed to their superior thermal and chemical robustness, are attractive for a number of applications. In the context of molecular separation, a major focus has been on films where the effective pore diameter is lower than 1 nm, e. ...

Lamellar carbon-aluminosilicate nanocomposites with macroscopic orientation

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Emad Oveisi, Holger Frauenrath, Enzo Jean Raymond Bomal, Yannik Fontana, Dragana Paripovic

Novel preparative approaches towards lamellar nanocomposites of carbon and inorganic materials are relevant for a broad range of technological applications. Here, we describe how to utilize the co-assembly of a liquid-crystalline hexaphenylene amphiphile a ...

Systematic design of millisecond gasification reactor for the incorporation of gas-sieving nanopores in single-layer graphene

Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Kuang-Jung Hsu, Luis Francisco Villalobos Vazquez de la Parra, Shiqi Huang, Shaoxian Li

Etching an ensemble of vacancy defects (nanopores) in single-layer graphene (SLG) to obtain a high density of nanopores with an effective size that enables high-performance gas sieving is challenging. This is because nanopore nucleation and expansion are u ...

Effect of Short Reducing Pulses on the Dynamic Structure, Activity, and Stability of Pd/Al2O3 for Wet Lean Methane Oxidation

Oliver Kröcher, Davide Ferri

Natural gas is a suitable alternative to gasoline and diesel fuels to decrease the carbon footprint of the mobility and energy sectors. Unburnt CH4 is typically removed from the exhaust using palladium-based catalysts, which suffer from thermal deactivatio ...

Insights into the molecular composition of semi-volatile aerosols in the summertime central Arctic Ocean using FIGAERO-CIMS

Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini

The remote central Arctic during summertime has a pristine atmosphere with very low aerosol particle concentrations. As the region becomes increasingly ice-free during summer, enhanced oceanatmosphere fluxes of aerosol particles and precursor gases may the ...

Chlorothalonil transformation products in drinking water resources: Widespread and challenging to abate

Urs von Gunten, Juliane Hollender

Chlorothalonil, a fungicide applied for decades worldwide, has recently been banned in the European Union (EU) and Switzerland due to its carcinogenicity and the presence of potentially toxic transformation products (TPs) in groundwater. The spread and con ...

Removal of trace organic contaminants from wastewater by superfine powdered activated carbon (SPAC) is neither affected by SPAC dispersal nor coagulation

Tamar Kohn, Florence Bonvin, Loïc Decrey

Powdered activated carbon (PAC) is increasingly used as tertiary treatment for the removal of trace organic contaminants (TrOCs) from wastewater (WW). To enhance the sorption kinetics and capacity, the PAC particles can be milled down to super fine powdere ...
