“…Generally, the nitrate values obtained ranged 0.24-26.5 mg/L at the three sampling sites. The values obtained for effluents in WWTP-A and WWTP-B fell within the recommended guidelines of 15 mg/L [24,33] over the sampling period, while values that exceeded the limit were recorded at WWTP-C. Nitrate has been identified as capable of inducing eutrophication even at low concentrations (<1 mg/L) [34][35], which affect aquatic organisms, decrease biodiversity, and cause unpleasant smells, thus rendering the water unfit for recreational uses [36][37][38]. The nitrite profile level ranged between 0.01-90 mg/L and differs significantly (P<0.05) at the three treatment plants.…”

The physicochemical qualities of the effluent samples of three municipal sewage treatment plants in the Eastern Cape of South Africa were evaluated from September 2015 to February 2016 using standard methods. The physicochemical parameters assessed include pH, temperature, total dissolved solid (TDS), turbidity, chemical oxygen demand (COD), alkalinity, dissolved oxygen (DO), free chlorine, chloride, sulphate, phosphate, ammonium, and electrical conductivity (EC). The results of the evaluation were as follows: temperature (19-36ºC), EC (60-1,095 mS/m), alkalinity (2.6-20.9 mg/L), nitrate (0.24-26.5 mg/L), nitrite (0.01-90 mg/L), phosphate (0.02-5.12 mg/L), ammonium (0.06-112 mg/L), sulphate (3-72 mg/L), chloride (3.25-224 mg/L), COD (17-394 mg/L), and turbidity (1.96-715 NTU). Free chlorine concentrations and DO were within the recommended limits for most of the sampling period and ranged between 0.17-0.48 mg/L and 0.19-21.9 mg/L, respectively. Also, the pH, phosphate, sulphate, and free chlorine concentrations were within acceptable limits, while EC, temperature, TDS, turbidity, COD, chloride, ammonium, nitrate, and nitrite did not conform to recommended limits. We conclude that these municipal sewage plants are sources of pollution to their respective receiving watersheds and threats to public and environmental health.

“…It was recently shown that nitrate and also nitrite could effectively be used to drive current generation and simultaneous carbon and nitrogen removal. Intensive studies have been carried out to determine the feasibility of carbon and nitrogen removal using MFCs (Feng et al, 2015;Mook et al, 2012;Ryu et al, 2013;Sayess et al, 2013;Virdis et al, 2010;Xie et al, 2011;Zhang et al, 2013). Removal of carbon and nitrogen from food, swine, and aquaculture wastewater using MFCs has been increasingly reported (Blanchet et al, 2015;ElMekawy et al, 2015;Lim et al, 2012;Ryu et al, 2013;Vilajeliu Pons et al, 2015).…”

“…Although TAN can be separated from liquid using membrane technologies as microfiltration, dialysis and reverse osmosis, these processes require a good pre-treatment to avoid reduced efficiency due to material deposition (fouling) on the membrane surface that can reduce membrane life (LI et al, 2008;MOOK et al, 2012;NIEUWENHUIJZEN & VAN DER GRAAF 2012).…”

Total Ammoniacal Nitrogen -TAN (NH 3 + NH 4 + ) in wastewaters cause environmental degradation concerns due to their negative impacts on air, soil and water. Several technologies are available for TAN removal from the wastewaters. One emerging technology is the use of hydrophobic membrane as non-destructive NH 3 extraction. In this paper the authors discuss the uses of gas permeable membrane (GPM) and its physicochemical characteristics that influence gas mass transfer rate, diffusion and recovery mec hanisms of NH 3 from liquid sources (e.g. animal wastewater). Several aspects of NH 3 extraction from liquid manure and other TAN generation sources using GPM technology as well as its applicability for NH 3 mitigation from liquid effluents and possible recovery as a nutrient for plant growth are also discussed in this review.
