Structural, optical and electrochemical performance of black phosphorus and black arsenic-phosphorus nanostructures
PublikacjaBlack phosphorus (BP)-based nanostructures have drawn a lot of attention due to their tunable bandgap and extraordinary properties such as: high surface-to-volume ratio, large number of active sites, and prominent edges. However, low dimensional structures of black phosphorus oxidize easily, which hamper their application on a broader scale. One way to overcome these difficulties is to modify the black phosphorus structure by substituting...

These systems are composed of two or more filters with different modes of sewage flow.Based on over eight years of monitoring, carried out at five local HCWs located in the PomeraniaRegion of Northern Poland, the effective removal of organic matter (from 74.9 to 95.5% COD) in theloading range 1.5-17.0 g COD·m-2·d-1 was confirmed....

Organic matter removal efficiency in treatment wetlands simulation by COD fractions
PublikacjaThe objective of this paper was to investigate the organic fraction (colloidal, particulate, and dissolved) in sewage treatment in treatment wetland. Performance of TWs was simulated well with a simple first order model k – C* based on monitoring data. In this investigation background or residual concentration (C*) was assumed to be equal concentration of input influent organic matter in particulate (CODp). Calculated reaction...

Modeling the pH effects on nitrogen removal in the anammox-enriched granular sludge
PublikacjaThe aim of the study was to determine the pH effects on nitrogen removal in the anammox-enriched granular sludge. The experimental data were extracted from a 4L completely-mixed batch reactor with the granular sludge at different initial pH values (6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5) and constant temperature T=30℃. Simulations were run in GPS-X 6.4 using a comprehensive mechanistic model Mantis2. Two kinetic parameters, including...
