Social knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions on wastewater treatment, technologies, and reuse in Tanzania J. Water Reuse Desalination (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2022-06-01 Gerubin Liberath Msaki, Karoli Nicholas Njau, Anna C. Treydte, Thomas Lyimo
This study assessed the social knowledge, attitude, and perceptions (KAPs) on wastewater treatment, the technologies involved, and its reuse across different wastewater treatment areas in four regions of Tanzania. We used both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods in a household-level questionnaire (n=327) with structured and semi-structured questions, which involved face-to-face interviews

Quantification and health risk assessment of nitrate in southern districts of Tehran, Iran J. Water Reuse Desalination (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2022-06-01 Safa Kalteh, Farshad Hamidi, Mahdi Ahmadi Nasab, Narges Mohseni Gharibdoosti, Mohammad Rezvani Ghalhari, Mina Parvizishad, Amir Hossein Mahvi
Nitrate is a common contaminant of drinking water. Due to its adverse health effects, this study aimed to determine nitrate levels in six southern districts of Tehran. A total of 148 samples were taken from tap waters. In 84.46% (n = 125) of the samples, the nitrate concentration was below national and WHO limits (50 mg/L); however, 15.54% (n = 23) were in violation of the criteria. The total mean

Downscaling reverse osmosis for single-household wastewater reuse: towards low-cost decentralised sanitation through a batch open-loop configuration J. Water Reuse Desalination (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2022-06-01 C. J. Davey, N. Thomas, E. J. McAdam
There is a significant demand for water recycling in low-income countries. However, wastewater infrastructure is primarily decentralised, necessitating the development of affordable household-scale reclamation technology. In this study, a batch open-loop reverse osmosis (RO) system is therefore investigated as a low-cost clean water reclamation route from highly saline concentrated blackwater. In a

A pilot-scale anaerobic moving-bed biofilm reactor with PVA gel beads as media for the treatment of fish canning industry wastewater J. Water Reuse Desalination (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2022-06-01 Akarawin Jirasaranporn, Krittayapong Jantharadej, Kritchart Wongwailikhit, Chamorn Chawengkijwanich, Jenyuk Lohwatcharin, Benjaporn Boonchayaanant Suwannasilp
This research aims to investigate the performance of a pilot-scale anaerobic moving-bed biofilm reactor (AnMBBR) using PVA gels as media for the treatment of real wastewater from a fish canning factory. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiencies at different organic loading rates (OLRs) were investigated at 3.0, 4.3, 6.5, and 8.7 kg COD/m3day by adjusting the flow rates to 350, 500, 750

Effect of organic load regulation on anaerobic digestion performance and microbial community of solar-assisted system of food waste J. Water Reuse Desalination (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2022-06-01 Xiaofei Zhen, Miao Luo, Haiying Dong, Lei Fang, Weiwei Wang, Lei Feng, Qin Yu
The semi-continuous digestion experiment of food waste was carried out based on a solar-assisted heat anaerobic digestion reactor. The effects of organic load regulation (OLR of 2.0, 4.0, 6.0 and 7.0 kg m−3 d−1 VS (volatile solid)) on methane production, physical and chemical parameters, and microbial community structure were studied. The results showed that 6.0 kg m−3 d−1 VS could achieve the optimal

Acid-activated bentonite blended with sugarcane bagasse ash as low-cost adsorbents for removal of reactive red 198 dyes J. Water Reuse Desalination (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2022-06-01 Teshale Adane, Sintayehu Mekuria Hailegiorgis, Esayas Alemayehu
The present research work investigated the removal efficiency of acid-activated bentonite blended with a sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) adsorbent for the removal of reactive red 198 (RR198) from a synthetic dye solution. The effect of the adsorption parameters of bentonite on SCBA blending ratio, dye solution pH, adsorption contact, adsorbent dosage, and initial dye concentration was investigated, and

Continuous and efficient oil/water separation by special wettability granular filter media J. Water Reuse Desalination (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2022-06-01 Zhang Hongwei, Qi Junye, Che Yinglong, Man Shide, Liu Jianlin, Wei Bigui
To improve the separation efficiency of the oil/water mixture and simplify the separation process, a superhydrophilic/underwater superoleophobic quartz sand filter media (PR@QS) was prepared by coating potato residue onto the quartz sand surface, and an oil/water mixture separator containing two horizontally placed filter columns and one inlet chamber was proposed. One filter column was filled with

Process evaluation of urban river replenished with reclaimed water from a wastewater treatment plant based on the risk of algal bloom and comprehensive acute toxicity J. Water Reuse Desalination (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2022-03-01 Danyan Sun, Xiaohu Lin, Zhibo Lu, Juwen Huang, Guangming Li, Jingcheng Xu
Municipal wastewater reuse has an important role to play with scarce water resources and serious water pollution. However, the impact of reclaimed water on the aquatic ecology and organisms of the receiving water needs to be assessed. This study investigated one ecological restoration project of an urban river replenished with reclaimed water, and evaluated the risk of algal bloom and acute biological

Modeling granule-based completely autotrophic nitrogen removal over the nitrite (CANON) process in an SBR J. Water Reuse Desalination (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2022-03-01 Qing Cai, Qiang He, Sheng Zhang, Jiajia Ding
Based on the simplified activated sludge model No. 1 (ASM1), a 1D biofilm model containing autotrophic and heterotrophic microorganisms was developed to describe the microbial population dynamics and reactor dynamics of completely autotrophic nitrogen removal over the nitrite in sequencing batch reactor (CANON SBR). After sensitivity analysis and calibration for parameters, the simulation results of

Assessment of rooftop rainwater harvesting in Ajloun, Jordan J. Water Reuse Desalination (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2022-03-01 Zain Al-Houri, Abbas Al-Omari
In response to water scarcity in Ajloun governorate, Jordan, the effectiveness of implementing rooftop rainwater harvesting (RRWH) was investigated. In addition, a structured questionnaire was prepared and distributed to randomly selected residents to assess the status of the current RRWH practices in the governorate and the people's perceptions of this practice. It was found that between 0.39 million
