Application of Machine Learning and Swarm Intelligence to Wastewater Treatment

, Cascade Clean Energy, Inc., US

Swarm intelligence (SI) is a branch of artificial intelligence, which has been existing in nature among grouping and activities of animals, birds, ants, fish or even microbes. Swarm Intelligence is the collective behavior of decentralized, [...]

Estimation of Algae Concentration in Water Using Spectrophotometric Measurements and First Derivative of Absorbance

AlMomani F., Örmeci B., Qatar University, QA

The occurrence of algae in conventional wastewater treatment plants or aerated lagoons can result in false indications in the final effluent parameters, such as TSS and CBOD5 . Algae plumes create surface scum, poor water [...]

Green Fenton-like catalysts for the removal of water pollutants

Nadejde C., Neamtu M., Hodoroaba V.-D., Schneider R.J., Paul A., Ababei G., Panne U., Alexandru Ioan Cuza University, RO

Three tannic acid (TA) and dissolved natural organic matter (NOM) core-shell magnetite nanoparticles catalysts were evaluated as magnetic heterogeneous catalysts. Simple and efficient procedures for the preparation of coated magnetic nanoparticles were employed. The catalysts [...]

Commercial pilot for closed-loop wastewater treatment and biofuel production using microalgae

Atwood M., Novoveska L., Sundstrom E., Valdez P., Algae Systems LLC, US

In wastewater treatment, significant energy is used to dilute, discharge, or landfill valuable resources. This situation is untenable due to energy costs and global scarcity of clean water. Algae Systems has developed and patented a [...]
