Stormwater rapidly moves trace organic contaminants (TrOCs) from the built environment to the aquatic environment. Bioretention cells reduce loadings of some TrOCs, but they struggle with hydrophilic compounds. Herein, we assessed the potential to enhance TrOC removal via changes in bioretention system design by simulating the fate of seven high-priority ...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are typical organic pollutants accumulated in the environment. PAHs' bioremediation in sediments can be promoted by adding electron acceptor (EA) and electron donor (ED). Bicarbonate and sulfate were chosen as two EAs, and acetate and lactate were selected as two EDs. Six groups of amendments were added into the ...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are present in wastewater from various sources like industry, roads, and household waste. They are difficult to remove due to their low concentration, stability, and ability to combine with other organic substances. The study aimed to address membrane fouling in the submerged membrane bioreactor (SMBR) used for wast ...
