Flexible modeling and control of capacitive-deionization processes through a linear-state-space dynamic Langmuir model npj Clean Water (IF 4.87) Pub Date : 2021-01-15 Johan Nordstrand; Joydeep Dutta
While black-box models such as neural networks have been powerful in many applications, direct physical modeling (white box) remains crucial in many fields where experimental data are difficult or time-consuming to obtain. Here, we demonstrate with an example from desalination by capacitive deionization (CDI), how an existing physical model could be strengthened by combining a general modeling framework

Design, performance, and demand for a novel in-line chlorine doser to increase safe water access npj Clean Water (IF 4.87) Pub Date : 2021-01-14 Julie E. Powers; Cynthia McMurry; Sarah Gannon; Adam Drolet; Jared Oremo; Linden Klein; Yoshika Crider; Jennifer Davis; Amy J. Pickering
Financially sustainable strategies are needed to increase access to safe drinking water in low-income settings. We designed a novel in-line chlorine doser that employs the Venturi principle to automatically add liquid chlorine at the point of water collection (tap outflows). The Venturi does not require electricity or moving parts, and users do not have to change the way they typically collect water

Sanitary inspection, microbial water quality analysis, and water safety in handpumps in rural sub-Saharan Africa npj Clean Water (IF 4.87) Pub Date : 2021-01-05 Emma Kelly; Ryan Cronk; Michael Fisher; Jamie Bartram
In sub-Saharan Africa, over half of the population is exposed to contaminated drinking water. The WHO recommends both sanitary inspection and water quality analysis to assess the risk of water source contamination, but the relationship between these tools is poorly understood. We explore the relationship between sanitary inspection and water quality analysis using data from 1028 boreholes with handpumps

Preliminarily comparative performance of removing bisphenol-S by ferrate oxidation and ozonation npj Clean Water (IF 4.87) Pub Date : 2021-01-04 Shaoqing Zhang; Jia-Qian Jiang; Michael Petri
Bisphenol-S (BS) has recently raised public concerns for its adverse effect on the health safety and ecological security. BS concentrations were detected in many water resources, ranging from 10 ng L−1 to 300 μg L−1, so that various purification techniques have been sought to remove BS. This study investigated the performance of ozonation and ferrate oxidation in the degradation of BS since they are

The influence of water–rock interactions on household well water in an area of high prevalence chronic kidney disease of unknown aetiology (CKDu) npj Clean Water (IF 4.87) Pub Date : 2021-01-04 Liza K. McDonough; Karina T. Meredith; Chandima Nikagolla; Richard B. Banati
Poor drinking water quality in household wells is hypothesised as being a potential contributor to the high prevalence of chronic kidney disease of uncertain aetiology (CKDu) among the farming communities of the Medawachchiya area, Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. One of the natural processes that can affect water quality is the dissolution of minerals contained within an aquifer by water–rock interactions

Achieving fast start-up of anammox process by promoting the growth of anammox bacteria with FeS addition npj Clean Water (IF 4.87) Pub Date : 2020-10-15 Chunzhen Zou; Beibei Guo; Xuming Zhuang; Liying Ren; Shou-Qing Ni; Shakeel Ahmad; Zhuangming Qiao; Zhaojie Cui; Jinglan Hong
The effects of FeS on nitrogen removal performance and microbial community of anammox process were studied. During the start-up period, the removal efficiencies of nitrite and total nitrogen were significantly improved by FeS. The addition of FeS increased the content of iron ions in the reactor and promoted the synthesis of heme c, which was involved in the formation of various enzymes. Compared with

Waterborne pathogen monitoring in Jaipur, India reveals potential microbial risks of urban groundwater supply npj Clean Water (IF 4.87) Pub Date : 2020-07-23 Aaron Bivins; Sarah Lowry; Heather M. Murphy; Mark Borchardt; Rachel Coyte; Pawan Labhasetwar; Joe Brown
The Sustainable Development Goals require that 100 mL water samples contain no culturable E. coli to classify a water supply as “safely managed” from a microbial perspective. But small volume sampling is often insufficient for detecting microbial risks. We used culture-based measures of total coliforms and E. coli along with dead-end ultrafiltration (DEUF) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) to assess

Influence of sulfate on anion exchange membranes in reverse electrodialysis npj Clean Water (IF 4.87) Pub Date : 2020-06-15 Diego Pintossi; Chieh-Li Chen; Michel Saakes; Kitty Nijmeijer; Zandrie Borneman
Reverse electrodialysis (RED) is a technology producing renewable energy from the mixing of river and seawater. In natural salinity gradients, multivalent ions are present, which lead to a reduced RED power output. Transport of multivalent ions against the concentration gradient and their trapping inside the membranes leads to a lower driving force and increased membrane resistance. The present work

A critical review of the application of electromagnetic fields for scaling control in water systems: mechanisms, characterization, and operation npj Clean Water (IF 4.87) Pub Date : 2020-06-01 Lu Lin; Wenbin Jiang; Xuesong Xu; Pei Xu
Scale deposits in water systems often result in ample technical and economic problems. Conventional chemical treatments for scale control are expensive and may cause health concerns and ecological implications. Non-chemical water treatment technologies such as electromagnetic field (EMF) are attractive options so the use of scale inhibitors, anti-scalants, or other chemical involved processes can be

Contributions of recycled wastewater to clean water and sanitation Sustainable Development Goals npj Clean Water (IF 4.87) Pub Date : 2020-04-30 Cecilia Tortajada
Water resources are essential for every development activity, not only in terms of available quantity but also in terms of quality. Population growth and urbanisation are increasing the number of users and uses of water, making water resources scarcer and more polluted. Changes in rainfall patterns threaten to worsen these effects in many areas. Water scarcity, due to physical lack or pollution, has
