In this study, flat sheet submerged MBR (FS‐SMBR) was investigated under 6 and 4 h hydraulic retention times (HRT) and 40 days solid retention time with real municipal wastewater. The implementation of the treatment system was evaluated in terms of physico‐chemical and microbial analysis as well as sludge characterization. The permeate of FS‐SMBR complied with the standards for reuse and non‐detectable levels of faecal coliform was achieved at 6 and 4 h HRTs, with pore‐blocking resistances (Rt) of 28 × 1011 and 40 × 1011/m, respectively. Examining another dominant factor, that is, sludge viscosity, the best results were acquired using HRT 4 h for domestic wastewater. Furthermore, the results obtained were validated and calibrated using the GPS‐X software simulator, and the results of modelled data were completely matched with the experimental data under the same conditions.

Desalter effluent (DE) is typically discharged into a petroleum wastewater treatment plant, but its high salt concentration deteriorates the biological treatment. This study used various dilution rates to investigate the treatment of a synthetic DE containing dodecane under saline conditions using a halotolerant yeast, Debaryomyces hansenii, to determine the optimum substrate concentration for use in continuous stirred‐tank reactors (CSTRs). A literature review indicated that this study was the first to examine the biological treatment of DE using D. hansenii in a CSTR system. At a low dodecane substrate concentration, DE did not inhibit D. hansenii growth, and the experimental data approached the Monod model, with μmax and Ks selected as 0.08 h−1 and 1575 mg L−1, respectively. The optimum removal of chemical oxygen demand (95.7% and 85%) was obtained at dilution rates of 0.007 and 0.026 d−1. Using D. hansenii in a CSTR system appeared to be a sustainable approach for the biological treatment of DE. Scale‐up of these laboratory findings to the industrial scale is required to confirm that petroleum DE can be treated using equalization and filtration tanks as a continuous bioreactor. Adjusting the dilution rate can provide sufficient time for biodegradation and hydrocarbon removal from high salt DE by halotolerant yeasts like D. hansenii.
脱盐出水是石油废水处理中常见的污水,其高含盐量影响了生物处理效果。本研究采用不同的稀释率,研究了在盐水条件下使用耐盐酵母汉斯德巴氏酵母(Debaryomyces hansenii)处理含十二烷的合成DE的方法,以确定连续搅拌槽反应器(cstr)中使用的最佳底物浓度。文献综述表明,本研究首次研究了在CSTR系统中使用汉斯氏杆菌对DE的生物治疗。在低十二烷底物浓度下,DE对汉斯氏菌的生长没有抑制作用,实验数据接近Monod模型,μmax和Ks分别为0.08 h−1和1575 mg L−1。稀释率分别为0.007和0.026 d - 1时,化学需氧量去除率最高(95.7%和85%)。在CSTR系统中使用D. hansenii似乎是一种可持续的生物处理DE的方法。需要将这些实验室研究结果扩大到工业规模,以证实石油DE可以使用平衡池和过滤池作为连续生物反应器进行处理。调节稀释率可以为耐盐酵母如汉斯氏酵母对高盐DE的生物降解和脱烃提供足够的时间。

Bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical additive in polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins, is suspected to be an endocrine‐disrupter. Extensive use and irregular treating methods have led to frequent detection of BPA in wastewater, raising demand for their removal by efficient nanomaterials‐based technique. Nanocomposite CuO@NiHCF was synthesized via green method using Citrus aurantium peel extract. Crystalline structure (particle size <50 nm) of CuO@NiHCF was analysed by microscopic and spectroscopic analysis. This nanocomposite showed 97% degradation of BPA (50 mg L−1) at neutral pH in sunlight. Moreover, improved particle stability (zeta potential: −56.2 mV; 2.0 eV) and high surface area, pore volume (81 m2g−1, 13.9 nm) resulted from synergism of NiHCF (−26.3 mV; 2.4 eV), and CuO (−11.5 mV; 1.9 eV) led to efficient photodegradation of BPA. Degradation of BPA was found photo‐adsorptive. Moreover, degradation was carried out by OH radicals based with ring‐opening mechanisms by GC–MS. High efficiency and sustainability of CuO@NiHCF were revealed by its multiple reusability (n = 10), leading to a promising and sustainable photocatalyst.

Within the scope of the study, the effectiveness of the experimental conditions was tested by performing a multi‐response Taguchi experimental design for the optimization of the minimum cost remediation performance with Tween 80, Methyl beta cyclodextrine (MCD) and Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) from tetrachloroethylene (PCE) contaminated porous media. Tween 80, MCD and SDS were extensively used in cosmetic industry as emulsifier. Both time of remediation and cost of remediation were studied as two separate response variables in three replicate experiments conducted according to the Taguchi L9 orthogonal experimental design. In the multi‐response Taguchi analysis, the sensitivity analysis was performed by systematically changing the weights determined for two separate response variables in the calculation of total loss of quality (TNQLj). Optimum experimental conditions were determined with the help of the calculated multi‐response signal/noise (S/N) ratios (MRSN). The results show that the type of Flushing Agent is the most important factor in optimizing the remediation time and remediation cost for the removal of dense non‐aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) PCE mass. Flushing rate is considered to be the least contributing factor. Furthermore, the results of the analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that all parameters used in the system had a significant effect on the experimental results and the Taguchi method could explain 97.15% of the Remediation Time and 92.03% of the Remediation Cost. Afterwards, the data obtained from the experiments performed according to the experimental design were modelled using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to estimate the remediation performance and remediation cost without performing new experiments.

Struvite is a suitable fertilizer, and electrochemical precipitation of nutrients from industrial waters provides one answer to the circular economy. Molar ratio between ammonium and phosphate is crucial: Water suitable for the precipitation includes more or at least the same amount ammonium than phosphate. That kind of water typically does not exist in industry. Therefore, ammonium‐rich industrial water was mixed with phosphorus‐rich water to obtain a suitable molar ratio for struvite precipitation. Parameters were studied to determine their effect on removal‐% and struvite yield. 100% struvite yield was obtained under several conditions even without pH control with pH 7–9. The highest phosphate removal (99.7%) was occurred with the molar ratio 1.7:2:1 for Mg:NH4:PO4 (pH 9.0). Waters dilution prevents magnesium anode corrosion. Formed struvite has potential as recycled fertilizer due to low bioavailability of metals and high leachability of nutrients studied by four‐stage sequential leaching.

The effect of the interaction factor between pH and dosage is important in leachate wastewater treatment. This study aims to remove leachate pollutants such as turbidity, total suspended solid (TSS), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and colour using simultaneous factors of plant‐based Tacca leontopetaloides biopolymer flocculant (TBPF) dosage and leachate pH. The flocculation process was carried out through jar test by applying the perikinetic theory and statical analysis (face‐centred central composite design). The results found that the optimum leachate pH and TBPF dosage were pH 3 and 150 mg/L, respectively. The highest removal of leachate pollutants reached up to 69% with a second‐order perikinetic model; R2 = 0.9545 and k = 9 × 10−6 L/mg/min were obtained. Simultaneous interaction factors between leachate pH and TBPF dosage on turbidity and TSS removal were found significant and hence can be applied in the actual leachate wastewater treatment industry, particularly at the primary stage using the proposed model.

Within developing countries, a multitude of problems that affect the water supply process can result in the contamination of water taps. While machine learning applications have become popular for attaining efficient water quality predictions, acquiring the necessary data for modelling for developing countries is challenging. This study constructs water quality prediction models by machine learning with a pseudo‐pipeline network to complement the missing data of the water supply process. Using both water source and water tap quality information measured by the Government of Nepal, we apply the three machine learning models: support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF) and LightGBM. Furthermore, we also apply a traditional statistical method—logistic regression (LR)—to the prediction of the Escherichia coli (E. coli) contamination in water taps. With some input variables (such as the length from the nearest sources) obtained from the pseudo‐pipeline network, the results show that SVM has stable and high accuracy for both the 26 cities (70%) and for the 25 cities except for Kathmandu (79%). LR performed a significantly lower accuracy for all cities (61%) than for 25 cities (79%). Additionally, we show that our method can be applied to other regions where a water quality survey has not yet been conducted.

Efficient management of water resources is an important task given the significance of water in daily lives and economic growth. Water resource management is a specific field of study which deals with the efficient management of water resources towards fulfilling the needs of society and preventing from water‐related disasters. Many activities within this domain are getting benefitted with the recent technological advancements. Within many others, computer vision‐based solutions have emerged as disruptive technologies to address complex real‐world problems within the water resource management domain (e.g., flood detection and mapping, satellite‐based water bodies monitoring, monitoring and inspection of hydraulic structures, blockage detection and assessment, drainage inspection and sewer monitoring). However, there are still many aspects within the water resource management domain which can be explored using computer vision technologies. Therefore, it is important to investigate the trends in current research related to these technologies to inform the new researchers in this domain. In this context, this paper presents the bibliometric analysis of the literature from the last two decades where computer vision technologies have been used for addressing problems within the water resource management domain. The analysis is presented in two categories: (a) performance analysis demonstrating highlighted trends in the number of publications, number of citations, top contributing countries, top publishing journals, top contributing institutions and top publishers and (b) science mapping to demonstrate the relation between the bibliographic records based on the co‐occurrence of keywords, co‐authorship analysis, co‐citation analysis and bibliographic coupling analysis. Bibliographic records (i.e., 1059) are exported from the Web of Science (WoS) core collection database using a comprehensive query of keywords. VOSviewer opensource tool is used to generate the network and overlay maps for the science mapping of bibliographic records. Results highlighted important trends and valuable insights related to the use of computer vision technologies in water resource management. An increasing trend in the number of publications and focus on deep learning/artificial intelligence (AI)‐based approaches has been reported from the analysis. Further, flood mapping, crack/fracture detection, coastal flood detection, blockage detection and drainage inspections are highlighted as active areas of research.

The purpose of the present study was to adapt the activated sludge model No. 3 (ASM3) to the characteristics of oily industrial wastewater, determining the utmost significant and appropriate kinetic as well as stoichiometric parameters. An oily industrial wastewater treatment system was simulated to assess ASM3 validation and perform sensitivity analysis using the STOAT program. The obtained results revealed that the ASM3 model, which was calibrated after adding the Arrhenius equation into consideration, provided strong correlations with the analytical results of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS), mixed liquor volatile suspended solids (MLVSS) and total suspended solids in the return activated sludge flow (TSS in RAS) concentrations. The values of modelled effluent COD and TSS are very close to those corresponding real values of the treated wastewater by a difference of between 0.5% and 1.5%. Thus, this model becomes successful in representing oily industrial wastewater treatment as a new trend added to the traditional modelling of sewage treatment.
