“…The samples were then dehydrated in the following series: ethanol (70-99.8%) for 15 min, a mixture of 96% ethanol and 100% acetone for 10 min and then 100% acetone for 5 min. The probes were then dried at critical point using CO 2 …”

“…Textiles have been used for wastewater treatment for years, firstly as filter bags in place of a septic tank [1], then later as geotextile baffle contact systems [2], horizontal flow biofilm reactors [3] and textile-based packed bed filters or trickling textile sheets filters [4]. Due to their particular properties (high porosity, permeability, low weight and durability) conventional geotextiles and coir geotextiles can be used in filter beds [5].…”

Two types of geotextile, TS 50 and TC/PP 300, were investigated as experimental filters. The raw wastewater, pre-treated in a septic tank, was intermittently dosed and filtered under hydrostatic pressure. At the beginning, the filter reactor comprised nine filters made of geotextiles (of three types: TS 10, TS 50 and TC/PP 300). At the end of the start-up period the TS 10 filters were removed due to their high outflow instability. After four months of working, the hydraulic capacities of the remaining filters were: 3.23 cm3/cm2/d for TS 50 and 4.14 cm3/cm2/d for TC/PP 300. The efficiencies of COD and BOD5 removal were similar for both types of geotextile (COD: 64%, BOD5: 80%). A small but statistically significant difference between ammonium nitrogen removal was observed (40% for TS 50 and 35% for TC/PP 300), most probably due to their different structure. Biological removal of P(tot) was relatively poor and similar for both geotextile types. The mean concentration of matter accumulated on the geotextiles was over one order of magnitude higher than conventional activated sludge concentrations. During the last weeks of the experiments the values of basic pollution indicators in the effluent were lower than the maximum permissible values (according to Polish law).

“…Geotextiles of high thickness were investigated by Korkut et al (2006) in other systems for wastewater treatment -with wastewater overflow of textiles but without filtration. These authors in this context found thick non-woven textiles to be appropriate for denitrifying microorganisms.…”

Summary. The aim of the study was to identify the innovative filters' (textile filters for wastewater treatment) thickness impact on dissolved compounds removal efficiency and related: biomass concentration, hydraulic capacity and hydraulic retention time. The study was conducted on septic tank effluent (STE) which was filtered at changeable wastewater surface between 7 cm and 20 cm of height under hydrostatic pressure. The research was performed on filters of thickness: 1.8 mm, 3.6 mm and 7.2 mm. The thinner the filter layer, the lower the total solids content and the higher the hydraulic capacity. The thicker the filter layer, the higher the dissolved compounds removal efficiency. The most efficient in removal were the thickest (eight-layers) filters. The calculated hydraulic retention times were: 0.5, 1.1 and 3.3 h for two-, four-and eight-layer filters, respectively.

“…25 A study with foamed clay of different granulometry, 1.5-3.5 mm and 2.5-4.5 mm, did not show important differences in removal efficiency, but the unit utilizing the smaller medium exhibited up to 70% shorter maximum run times than the one using the larger medium, before backwash. 30 Even though there are many types of geotextiles, they can be separated into two main categories: woven and nonwoven. 27 The use of carbonate particles as support material also improves the buffer ability of wastewater for treatment in environments with variable or low pH value.…”

This paper reviews the application of attached growth processes for municipal wastewater treatment. Attached growth processes are classified as aerobic (either aerated or non‐aerated), anaerobic and hybrid (anaerobic/anoxic and aerobic). The main advantage of attached growth systems is that they maintain a high concentration of microorganisms resulting in high removal rates at relatively small hydraulic retention times. The basic design and operational characteristics of various systems are presented in terms of packing materials, organic loading rates, treatment temperature, as well as achieved removal rates. © 2012 Society of Chemical Industry
