The wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) must be transformed into Water Resource Recovery Facilities (WRRFs) in view of a more sustainable approach focusing on the circular economy concept. Different to WWTPs, WRRFs have as major goal not only meet legislation limits but also recovery resources such as: treated water for reuse, carbon, nutrients, biopolymers etc. In boosting application real WWTs, WRRF at Palermo University (UNIPA) has been built within EU project: Achieving Wider-Uptake Smart Solutions. This study is aimed demonstrate feasibility resource from UNIPA WRRF. Specifically, effects (TWW) and recovered nutrients faba bean were assessed. Results showed that aligned with legislation. Further, TWW increased soil electrical conductivity adversely impacted plant growth. However, biochar zeolite effectively mitigated these adverse effects. Microbiological investigation revealed both broad pods seeds analysed did host pathogenic bacteria.

Comparative Remediation of Arsenic and Antimony Co-Contaminated Soil by Iron- and Manganese-Modified Activated Carbon and Biochar

Toxics, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 12(10), С. 740 - 740

Опубликована: Окт. 12, 2024

At present, soil contaminated with arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) is escalating at an alarming rate, which harmful to human health. In this study, Fe- Mn-modified activated carbon (AC) biochar (BC) were prepared compared for the remediation of As- Sb-contaminated soil. The effects on speciation As Sb, pH, organic matter (SOM), enzyme activity various dosages times investigated. results showed that whole, best stabilization effect Sb was achieved 3% FeMnBC. Furthermore, increases in time dosage, immobilization more significant. Fe/Mn-modified AC BC enhanced MnAC being particularly effective; FeMnAC demonstrated most pronounced enhancement SOM. modified materials exhibited a dramatic increase enzymatic activity. particular, urease increasing trend, catalase first decreased then increased over 30 days. Among treatments, significant enhancements activities, whereas 1% FeMnBC had sucrase This study provides theoretical support co-contaminated by BC.
