Johansson, Sara (Fecha de defensa: 2019-04-29)
Increasing awareness on the limited nature of the raw materials for the production of inorganic fertilizer is pushing for a shift from removal to recovery of nutrients from waste streams. In municipal ...
Ramió Pujol, Sara (Fecha de defensa: 2016-07-07)
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 (Fecha de defensa: 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 (Fecha de defensa: 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 (Fecha de defensa: 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 ...
Puig Broch, Sebastià (Fecha de defensa: 2008-01-15)
In the last decades, the awareness of environmental issues has increased in society considerably. There is an increasing need to improve the effluent quality of domestic wastewater treatment processes. ...
Gabarró i Bartual, Jordi (Fecha de defensa: 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 (Fecha de defensa: 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 ...
Blasco Gómez, Ramiro (Fecha de defensa: 2020-07-22)
Microbial Electrochemical Technologies (METs) are a promising alternative for capturing and in-situ reducing CO2 through the use of renewable electricity. Microorganisms grown in autotrophic conditions ...
Coma Bech, Marta (Fecha de defensa: 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 ...
