Low/cost recovery of reclaimed water from sewage mixed industrial effluents Ghent University
Wastewater treatment is considered as an economic burden on an industrialist, especially for small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) rather than as a business opportunity. This study aims to develop energy efficient, cost effective and biological effluent treatment process package for industrial effluents from SMEs and domestic sewage, which would make this operation a profitable venture.

Integrated treatment of non-ionic surfactant containing industrial wastewater: process optimization, material selection and life cycle analysis KU Leuven
Endocrine-disrupting compounds are increasingly recognized as a severe threat to aquatic (micro-)organisms and public health. One class of components that have distinct endocrine disruptive properties are non-ionic surfactants, such as alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEOs). Nonyl- and octylphenol ethoxylates are the most well-known APEOs used as non-ionic surfactants and are applied as cleaning, washing and surface-active agents in the textile ...
