Plant-derived organic matter, such as dead roots and root exudates, which act as a C source for heterotrophic microbes, was reduced after understory removal. Without this ready source of C, microbial biomass, microbial N immobilization may be reduced, and consequently, a greater proportion of gross N mineralization may be …

The importance of soil organic matter. Organic matter existing on the soil surface as raw plant residues helps protect the soil from the effect of rainfall, wind and sun. Removal, incorporation or burning of residues exposes the soil to negative climatic impacts, and removal or burning deprives the soil organisms of their primary energy source.

1. Introduction. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a critical role in aquatic ecosystems (Fellman et al., 2010) because DOM is a major energy source for bacteria (Falkowski et al., 2000) and directly affects the ability of bacteria to decompose organic matter in aquatic ecosystems (Muscarella et al., 2019).Therefore, revealing the …
The main objectives of this research were to establish a PADB with autotrophic denitrifiers enriched from anaerobic sludge, and investigate the simultaneous removal of NO 3 − and PO 4 3− from wastewater lacking organic matter and the mechanisms of NO 3 − and PO 4 3− removals. A multi-disciplinary approach, based on …
2. The role of PAC suspended in a feed in the PAC/UF system is the adsorption of low molecular organic compounds, which cannot be removed by UF alone (e.g. phenols and low molecular HA fractions). 3. The backwashing process applied in combined PAC/UF system was especially effective when PAC dosage was <20 mg PAC …
In the present study, an up-flow solid-phase denitrification biofilm reactor (US-DBR) was established for simultaneous nitrate and dissolved organic matter (DOM) removal from wastewater treatment plant effluent. After 100 days operation, the nitrate and COD removal efficiencies were high of 97% and 80%, respectively.
Stone Crusher & Rock Crusher Machine for 100 t/h sand aggregate /Gravel (ballast) Production plant from China Stone crushing Machine Manufacturer Feb 1, 2024
The extensive removal of organic matter and ammoniacal-nitrogen achieved in this study is a result of the tidal flow operation that allowed maximum wastewater-biofilm contact and enhanced the transfer of oxygen by drawing air from the atmosphere into the wetland matrices. 4.2. The rate of organic matter removal
1. Introduction. Untreated water contains a complex mix of both natural and synthetic organic and inorganic compounds. Naturally occurring organic matter (NOM) is autogenic and originates from biological, geological, and hydrological activities such as pathogenic organism, detritus litter and photosynthetic eukaryotic organisms [181], …
The ranking of the three kinds of ponds in organic compounds removal efficiency is: water hyacinth pond> facultative pond> alga/duckweed pond; for nitrogen removal efficiency: hyacinth pond> alga ...
1. Introduction. Municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent, containing organic and inorganic matters, has caused critical problems when discharged into the ecosystem, such as eutrophication, water quality deterioration and other potential hazards to human (Hofman-Caris et al., 2017).As one of the most important pollutants in …
The aim of this research was to evaluate the kinetics of organic matter removal in CWs using two models: (i) the conventional first order model and (ii) the sigmoidal or k-n model. For this purpose, data …
We tested and compared different levels of pre–treatment: no pre–treatment, thermal combustion (300, 350, 400, 450, 500 and 550 °C) and chemical oxidation (H 2 O 2 and Na 2 S 2 O 8) using a …

1. Introduction. Cyanobacterial blooms are among the most burdensome concerns for drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) (Huisman et al., 2018).Small, negatively charged and gas-vacuolated algal cells are practically recalcitrant to conventional coagulation and are capable of blocking filters/membranes during drinking water …
