Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) can be found in marine and estuarine waters due to accidental spills of oil and derivatives, as well as in production water and effluents discharged from petrochemical plants. Addressing the bioremediation of these compounds in saline environments and effluents with elevated salinity levels is imperative. In this study, the halotolerance of Aspergillus niger was...
Endocrine disruptors (EDs), including natural estrogens, such as 17-estradiol (E2) and synthetic chemicals (e.g., bisphenol A (BPA) and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)), pose environmental and human health risks due to their ability to interfere with hormonal systems, even at trace concentrations and can lead to developmental, reproductive, and carcinogenic effects. These persistent compounds often e...
Effluents from the textile industry are an active problem in the sector and one of the worlds main environmental problems. The conventional treatments applied are not always efficient in terms of compliance with legislation, and, in many cases, the efficiency of treatment is guaranteed by the enormous energy expenditure involved, camouflaging the momentary problem and not effectively treating it. In this work, ...
Constructed wetland (CW) systems have been recognized as a sustainable technology for wastewater treatment that can be easily integrated into the local natural environment, offering both low cost and high efficiency. In this study, synthetic greywater was treated using a vertical subsurface flow CW operated in batch mode with 7-day cycles across two phases, operated in parallel: I, non-vegetated, and II, vegeta...
Faced with increasing water scarcity, the potential of greywater reuse stands out, but requires effective treatment of to remove organic matter, pathogens, surfactants, and suspended solids. Constructed Wetlands (CW) are sustainable and decentralized technologies gaining increasing prominence for this propose. They are recognized for their low-cost, simplicity, and effectiveness in wastewater treatment, produci...
