Adaptative biological response of aerobic granular sludge to events of single o...
Alves, Marta; Henriques, Isabel; Castro, Paula M. L.; Amorim, Catarina L.Wastewater comprises various stressors and their individual and combined immediate effects on aerobic granular sludge (AGS) are still underexplored. In this study, the AGS was exposed for 24 hours to wastewater with varying salt concentrations (up to 30 g NaCl L⁻¹) alongside pharmaceuticals (diclofenac, DCF or carbamazepine, CBZ). Differences in extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) production and compositio...
