Use of biological and sedimentation models for designing Peñíscola WWTP.
2004
This paper presents Peñíscola wastewater treatment plant design. Peñíscola is a tourist city in Castellón (Spain), whose population changes significantly between summer and the rest of the year. The design of the biological and settling treatment units has been confirmed by computer model simulations and provided for biological organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus removal. Two different treatment schemes have been proposed in order to optimize the plant performance during both seasonal operations. During low-load season, the plant will be operated under extended aeration conditions, so further sludge stabilization will not be needed. During high-load season, the plant will be operated un…
Mercury Speciation in Floodplain Soils and Sediments along a Contaminated River Transect
1998
A novel mercury-specific sequential extraction procedure (SEP) for the assessment of mercury (Hg) speciation in soils and sediments, with emphasis on studying the interaction between Hg and organic matter (OM), was developed and tested. It was applied to determine Hg speciation in floodplain topsoils and surface sediments along the Hg-contaminated part of the river Elbe, and to simultaneously derive some information on the (re)mobilization potentials for Hg from these matrices. The majority of the total Hg in the ecosystem today is bound in the floodplains, which also still geographically reflect the historic emission record. Most of the Hg in both matrices is bound strongly to OM, suggesti…
Distribution of volatile organic compounds in Sicilian groundwaters analysed by head space-solid phase micro extraction coupled with gas chromatograp…
2008
This work presents the results of an assessment of the existence and concentration of 13 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in groundwaters from 14 hydrological basins in Sicily (25,710km (2)). On the basis of hydrological, hydrogeochemical and geological studies, 324 sampling points were selected. All groundwater sampled were collected twice, from October to December 2004 and from February to May 2005, and were analysed to determine the concentration and spatial distribution of the VOCs in the aquifers. The need to analyze a large number of samples in a short space of time so as to obtain quantitative analyses in trace concentration levels spurred us to create a new analytical method, both …

Die herstellung molekulareinheitlicher leiteroligomerer und einer molekulareinheitlichen hexaacrylsäure. IV. Mitt.: Modelle für matrizenreaktionen
1968
Die phenolischen Hydroxylgruppen molekulareinheitlicher Mehrkernverbindungen mit vier und funf pKresolbausteinen je Molekul konnten vollstandig mit Acrylsaurechlorid in Gegenwart von Triathylamin verestert werden. Lies man auf die in siedendem Benzol stark verdunnten mehrafachen Acrylsaureester einen Uberschus an Radikalen aus α.α′-Azoisobutyrodinitril einwirken, so bildeten sich mit guter Ausbeute molekulareinheitliche, dunnschichtchromatographisch reine Leiteroligomere. Die alkalische Verseifung des Leiteroilgomeren mit vier p-Kresolbausteinen gab eine molekulareinheitliche Hexaacrylsaure, die als Hexamethylester durch Elementaranalyse und Molekulargewicht charakterisiert wurde; die gefun…
Bestimmung des vernetzungsgrades schwach vernetzter, noch löslicher copolymerer aus styrol und bisacrylsäurephenylestern durch hydrolytischen abbau
1970
Aus Styrol und Bisacrylsaurephenylester durch radikalische, vernetzende Polymerisation erhaltene und in Toluol sowie Dioxan noch losliche Copolymere wurden durch alkalische Hydrolyse gezielt in die linear strukturierten Bestandteile zerlegt. Diese enthielten neben sehr vielen Styrolbausteinen wenige aus dem Vernetzer stammende Acrylsaurebausteine. UV-Spektren zeigten, das die Vernetzerreste durch den hydrolytischen Abbau vollstandig abgespalten waren. Von den linearen Baustucken wurden viskosimetrisch, osmometrisch und z. T. colorimetrisch die Molekulargewichte bestimmt. Die Hydrolyseprodukte zeigten eine unerwartet bei 320 mμ auftretende Extinktion, deren Ursache nicht restlos aufgeklart w…
Die Kationische ɛ-Caprolactam-Polymerisation. V. Die quantitative Bestimmung der N-Acyllactam-Gruppen bei der Initiierung mit wasserfreien Säuren und…
1971
Als Beitrag zur Aufklarung des Mechanismus der kationischen Caprolactam-Polymerisation mit wasserfreien Sauren (z. B. HCl) als Initiatoren wurde der Gehalt der C-terminal entstehenden N-Acyllactam-Endgruppen und anderer funktioneller Gruppen der gebildeten Oligo- und Polyamide quantitative bestimmt. Dies erfolgte auf IR-spektroskopischem Wege und durch potentiometrische Titration der nach alkalischer Hydrolyse gebildeten Carboxylgruppen. Fur die Polymerisation wurde ein verbessertes Verfahren ausgearbeitet, das vollstandigen Sauerstoff- und Feuchtigkeitsausschlus ermoglicht und damit besser reproduzierbare Ergebnisse liefert. Die Abhangigkeit der Konzentration verschiedener funktioneller Gr…
Selective Cobalt over Nickel separation using neat and confined ionic liquids
2020
International audience; Task Specific Ionic Liquids (TSILs) generated by association between tetraalkylammonium cations and coordinating anions such as dicyanamide (Dca-) and thiocyanate (SCN-) were used for the selective separation of Ni(II) over Co(II). SCN-based TSIL presents higher extraction efficiency than the Dca-based one towards Co(II) (E = 85.4 % vs 54.6 %) and Ni (II) (E = 22 % vs 0.5%) but lower separation factors (βCo/Ni = 21 vs 239). Interestingly, extraction of Co(II) and Ni(II) in Dca-based TSIL can be enhanced using salts with chaotropic anions such as NaNO3 (E > 90 % for Co(II) and E = 85% for Ni(II)). The use of NaCl allows, moreover, the efficient separation of both ions…
Microbial communities in full-scale woodchip bioreactors treating aquaculture effluents.
2021
Woodchip bioreactors are being successfully applied to remove nitrate from commercial land-based recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) effluents. In order to understand and optimize the overall function of these bioreactors, knowledge on the microbial communities, especially on the microbes with potential for production or mitigation of harmful substances (e.g. hydrogen sulfide; H2S) is needed. In this study, we quantified and characterized bacterial and fungal communities, including potential H2S producers and consumers, using qPCR and high throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA gene. We took water samples from bioreactors and their inlet and outlet, and sampled biofilms growing on woodchips a…
Investigation and control of a Norovirus outbreak of probable waterborne transmission through a municipal groundwater system
2014
During March 2011 an outbreak of gastroenteritis occurred in Santo Stefano di Quisquina, Agrigento, Sicily, Italy. Within two weeks 156 cases were identified among the 4,965 people living in the municipality. An epidemiological investigation was conducted to characterize the outbreak and target the control measures. A case was defined as a person developing diarrhea or vomiting during February 27–March 13, 2011. Stool specimens were collected from 12 cases. Norovirus (NoV) genotype GII.4 variant New Orleans 2009 was identified in stool samples from 11 of 12 cases tested (91.7%). Epidemiological investigations suggested a possible association with municipal drinking water consumption. Water …
