  • Microalgae and cyanobacteria modeling in water resource recovery facilities: A critical review

    • Authors: Shoener, B.D.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Schramm, S.M.; Béline, F.; Bernard, O.; Martínez, C.; Plós, B.G.; Snowling, S. (2019)

  • Results from an extensive literature review of over 300 published phytoplankton models are presented, with particular attention to similarities with and differences from existing strategies to model chemotrophic wastewater treatment processes (e.g., via the Activated Sludge Models, ASMs). Building on published process models, the core requirements of a model structure for algal and cyanobacterial processes are presented, including detailed recommendations for the prediction of growth (under phototrophic, heterotrophic, and mixotrophic conditions), nutrient uptake, carbon uptake and storage, and respiration.

  • A culture-dependent and metagenomic approach of household drinking water from the source to point of use in a developing country

    • Authors: Bae, S.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Lyons, C.; Onstad, N. (2019)

  • Bacterial genera seen in biofilm bacteria, such as Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter and Comamonas. Acinetobacter, Chryseobacterium, Stenotrophomonas and Corynebacterium, were relatively more abundant in the biofilm than in the water. Potential bacterial pathogens including Acinetobacter baumannii, Citrobacter freundii, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Haemophilus influenza, were detected in household water and biofilm. The microbial quality might be affected by water-storage time and households repeatedly using the same water storage containers without proper sanitization, triggering microbial regrowth and biofilm formation on water containers. Higher bacterial diversity and potentially pathogenic bacteria found in the biofilm samples of a household water supply are unhealthy for the hous...

  • Determination of the microplastics emission in the effluent of a municipal waste water treatment plant using Raman microspectroscopy

    • Authors: Wolff,S.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Kerpen, J.; Prediger, J.; Barkmann, L.; Müller, L. (2019)

  • The results were differentiated by dry and wet weather samples. On average, 5900 MPPs m−3 were identified in the effluent on wet weather days compared to 3000 MPPs m−3 on dry weather days. Most of the MPPs detected were in the 30 μm < dp < 100 μm size range. The MPFs ranged between 100 μm and 1000 μm in length. While most of the MPFs were of PET origin, the MPPs consisted mainly of PET, PP, PE and PS.
