This study investigates the degradation efficiency and kinetics of benzyldimethyldodecylammonium chloride (DDBAC) via O3/UV and O3 treatment. A catalytic effect of UV on ∙OH formation was found for the O3/UV treatment. A 91% DDBAC degradation efficiency was achieved within 20 min at an O3 dosage of 0.37 g∙h− 1 and pH of 8.0, whereas only …
Nutrient enrichment in water bodies, and its detrimental consequences, are a well known and worldwide environmental problem. Agricultural activities are identified as an important source of diffuse losses of phosphate and nitrate because of the leaching out fertilizers from agricultural fields. This study en- compasses the implementation of an end-of-pipe treatment by capturing phosphate from …
Digestate treatment techniques have recently been proposed as a strategy to increase the ultimate biogas yield from dairy manure and to improve the digestate quality as an organic fertilizer. These studies however rarely take the trace elements and nutrient partitioning into account. This study focusses on ozone treatment (5-40 g O3 kg-1 Total Solids (TS)) …

Hydrogen is a common reactant in the petro-chemical industry and moreover recognized as a potential fuel within the next 20 years. The production of hydrogen from biomass and carbohydrate feedstock, though un- doubtedly desirable and favored, is still at the level of laboratory or pilot scale. The present work reviews the current researched pathways. Different …

Upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) systems are of specific interest for the treatment of high organic wastewater since they offer the opportunity to recover energy in the form of methane (biogas). The technology is highly suitable for the degradation of biodegradable organics, but its efficiency can be significantly hampered by the presence of toxic pollutants …
In this study, ultrasound (US) disintegration was evaluated as a digestate treatment strategy. Digestate treatment is the physical, chemical or biological treatment and recirculation AD of the effluents of the anaerobic digesters (i.e., digestate) to the digester as supplementary feed to increase their utilization potential for energy conversion or green chemical production in post-valorization pathways. …
The kick-off meeting of the MSCA ETN InnovEOX project took place on the 3rd of June 2020. Due to current COVID-19 related circumstances, the meeting couldn’t be organised in Liverpool as planned, so the project team gathered together online, via Zoom. During the first session, InnovEOX researchers and their supervisors, the management team and representatives …
The 1st general meeting of SOCORRO2, Interreg2Seas project, has successfully taken place on the 7th May. Due to current circumstances related to COVID19, the consortium members have met virtually. We aim that project will run as efficient as our 1st meeting and hope to meet the consortium members in real life in our next meeting. …
SIDEWAVE has attended BIC’s Match making event which took place on February 13th in Brussels. BIC is a non-profit organisation which represents the private sector in a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) with the European Commission, also known as the Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI JU). This public-private partnership aims to invest € 3.7 billion in bio-based …
