Evaluating removal emerging contaminants biofilm

项目摘要

Nutrients and emerging contaminants of concern are major environmental stressors that pollute lakes, drinking water wells, and streams. They originate from human activities and come through municipal and home sewage systems. Wastewater treatment plants must remove these stressors before discharge into water bodies. The research project will investigate the development of an innovative nitrogen removal process from wastewater using advanced biofilm technology. The study will also assess the fate and degradation of contaminants of concern from the wastewater before discharge to freshwater bodies. The research will be conducted in partnership between Western University and Bishop Water Technologies. The partnership's goal is to jointly enhance the design of Bishop's BioCord biofilm technology and optimize its performance for nutrient and contaminants of concern removal. The proposal will support the training of two highly qualified personnel, one PhD student and one MASc student. If this proposal is successful, the investigators will market the technology for simultaneous removal of nutrients and selected contaminants of concern. The outcomes of this research will directly benefit Canada by demonstrating the efficiency of alternative and innovative energy-efficient processes and technologies for urgently required wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) upgrades.

令人关注的营养物和新出现的污染物是污染湖泊、饮用水井和溪流的主要环境压力源。它们源自人类活动并通过市政和家庭污水系统。废水处理厂必须在排入水体之前消除这些压力源。该研究项目将研究利用先进生物膜技术开发创新的废水脱氮工艺。该研究还将评估废水中令人关注的污染物在排放到淡水水体之前的命运和降解情况。该研究将由西部大学和 Bishop Water Technologies 合作进行。此次合作的目标是共同增强 Bishop BioCord 生物膜技术的设计，并优化其去除相关营养物和污染物的性能。该提案将支持培训两名高素质人才，一名博士生和一名硕士生。如果该提案成功，研究人员将推广同时去除营养物和选定的关注污染物的技术。这项研究的成果将通过展示替代和创新的节能工艺和技术的效率，用于迫切需要的废水处理厂（WWTP）升级，直接使加拿大受益。
