The measurement of chemical oxygen demand (COD) is very important in the process of sewage treatment. The value of COD reflects the effectiveness and trend of sewage treatment to a certain extent, but obtaining accurate data requires high cost and la...
Higher heating value (HHV) is one of the most important parameters in determining the quality of the fuels. In this study, comparatively large datasets of ultimate and proximate analysis are constructed to be used in HHV estimation of several classes...
Appropriate mixed carbon sources have great potential to enhance denitrification efficiency and reduce operational costs in municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). However, traditional methods struggle to efficiently select the optimal mixture...
In sludge dewatering of most wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), the dose of polymer flocculant is manually adjusted through direct visual inspection of the flocs without the aid of any instruments. Although there is a demand for the development of ...
Activated sludge (AS) microbial communities are influenced by various environmental variables. However, a comprehensive analysis of how these variables jointly and nonlinearly shape the AS microbial community remains challenging. In this study, we em...
Anaerobic biodegradation rates (half-lives) of organic chemicals are pivotal for environmental risk assessment and remediation. Traditional experimental evaluation, constrained by prolonged, oxygen-free conditions, struggles to keep pace with emergin...
The functionality of activated sludge in wastewater treatment processes depends largely on the structural and microbial composition of its flocs, which are complex assemblages of microorganisms and their secretions. However, monitoring these flocs in...
Bound extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are complex, high-molecular-weight polymer mixtures that play a critical role in pore clogging, foulants adhesion, and fouling layer formation during membrane filtration, owing to their adhesive properti...
Preparation of activated carbons is an important way to utilize municipal sludge (MS) resources, while drying is a pretreatment method for making activated carbons from MS. In this study, machine learning techniques were used to develop moisture rati...
A parallel hybrid ordinary differential equation (ODE) integrating the Activated Sludge Model No. 2d (ASM2d) and an artificial neural network (ANN) was developed to simulate biological phosphorus removal (BPR) with high accuracy and interpretability....
