Bioaugmentation and biostimulation of a South African coal-based Technosol as a mine rehabilitation strategy by Van Coller, Cari

“…Annually, over 70 million tonnes of material are added to coal waste dumps in South Africa. To alleviate the environmental and social burdens of unsightly mine waste dumps, improved management of existing discarded materials and new wastes, and fertile soils for land rehabilitation are essential. …”

Establishing the environmental and economic benefits of applying advanced thermal hydrolysis to existing anaerobic digesters in the Western Cape, South Africa by Potts, Wesley

“…The treatment of sewage by wastewater treatment works (WWTW) generates a solids byproduct stream requiring treatment and disposal. The waste sludges generated are rich in essential nutrients and energy, and present an opportunity to turn a waste stream into a resource. …”

Simplification of Complex WWTP Models into Simple Design and Evaluative WRRF Tool by Nsengiyumva, Olivier

“…However, both BABE and struvite precipitation processes achieve different results based on the composition of the DWL that is being treated i.e., for DWL from an anaerobic digester treating waste activated sludge that is not P rich (with low EBPR), then the recommended SSTP operation would be BABE process rather than struvite precipitation. …”

A Comparative Analysis of the Performance and the Microbial Ecology of Biological Sulphate Reducing Reactor Systems by Hessler, Tomas

“…Mining activities accelerate this process by bringing these ores to the surface where they are further crushed and, eventually end up in waste rock dumps and tailing impoundments where they continue to generate ARD into perpetuity. …”
