This doctoral thesis deals with the synthesis of two biofuels (bioethanol and biobuthanol) by bacteria. Concretely, the thesis is focused on a group of bacteria able to grow in a simple substrate such ...
Akaboci, Tiago Rogeiro Vitor (Date of defense: 2019-07-15)
Anammox-based processes have been commonly applied for the treatment of reject water (high nitrogen content and low C:N ratio), in the sidestream line of urban wastewater tretament plants (WWTP). However, ...
Vilà-Rovira, Albert (Date of defense: 2017-10-20)
This doctoral thesis has integrated biological models (activated sludge models “ASM”) with simulation tools of computational fluid dynamics “CFD”, and has applied them to the design of two advanced ...
Sànchez Melsió, Alexandre (Date of defense: 2015-06-05)
Nowadays, the combination of the autotrophic nitrification together with heterotrophic denitrification is the most common process for N-removal in the WWTPs. However, when the C:N ratio is low, this ...
Gabarró i Bartual, Jordi (Date of defense: 2014-07-18)
The biological treatment of industrial wastewater containing high nitrogen concentrations (>1000 mg N L-1) and low biodegradable organic matter (bCOD) such as landfill leachate is nowadays challenging. ...
Batlle Vilanova, Pau (Date of defense: 2016-11-25)
In 2015 the average concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere exceeded 400 ppm. Some technologies, including CO2 capture and storage, are palliative. However, the development of alternatives to burning of ...
Coma Bech, Marta (Date of defense: 2011-05-11)
Biological nutrient removal has been studied and applied for decades in order to remove nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater. However, more anthropogenic uses and the continued demand for water have ...
Ruscalleda Beylier, Maël (Date of defense: 2012-02-17)
This thesis results from the collaborative projects between the LEQUIA-UdG group and Cespa (a company in charge of several landfill sites in Spain). The aim of the work was the development of a suitable ...
Pous Rodríguez, Narcís (Date of defense: 2015-05-28)
The presence of nitrates (NO3-) in groundwater is a worldwide concern. The high energy demand and environmental impact of available technologies requires investigating new technologies. This thesis was ...
