On the distribution of saline groundwater in the Poopó Basin, Central Bolivian Highland
Lake Poopó is a terminal lake of the Bolivian Altiplano, with high salinity and heavy anthropogenic pollution from centuries of extensive mining activity. This study aims to describe how the water quality of groundwater and surface water system in different subwater-sheds of the Lake Poopó varies with geology and hydrology. Measurements of total dissolved solids […]
Biological sludge liquor treatment at municipal wastewater treatment plants – a review
Separate biological treatment of sludge liquor, produced when dewatering digested sludge at wastewater treatment plants, can be favourable in achieving sufficient nitrogen removal. The treatment has the potential to decrease volume requirements and electrical energy and external carbon consumption. The characteristics of sludge liquor (high temperature, high ammonium concentration, low COD:N ratio) support high autotrophic […]
