This paper aims to develop and apply an approach for short-, medium- and long-term scenario planning. Construction of water demand scenarios is of the utmost importance for planning, design and operation of distribution ...

In many water distribution systems, water losses are a major problem and an integrated management strategy is required for both the efficient use of water resources and the minimisation of non-revenue water. For foul sewer ...

This paper addresses the enhanced removal of pharmaceutical compounds (PhCs), a family of contaminants of emerging concern, and effluent organic matter (EfOM) in water reclamation by powdered activated carbon/coagulation/ceramic ...

Nesta comunicação compara-se a aplicação de PAC nos tratamentos secundário e terciário para controlo de fármacos, que são uma família de CIE. Através de modelação matemática, demonstra-se o papel-chave das condições de ...

The complexity of water matrices and the large range of properties and therapeutic classes of pharmaceuticals call for a deeper understanding of the key properties of activated carbons that ensure their best performance ...

This paper addresses the potential application of a newly developed waste-derived PAC for controlling PhCs in CAS-WWTPs during the secondary treatment. Bench-scale tests are used to assist PAC adsorption demonstration at ...

Water treatment technologies improvement is the key to face current water quality challenges (2030Agenda). A challenge in wastewater treatment and water reuse relates to the presence of micropollutants in raw water, the ...

O aproveitamento de águas pluviais em usos urbanos diversos tem vindo a ser progressivamente valorizada como resultado de crescente necessidade de conservação da água e da procura de soluções mais sustentáveis na utilização ...

Está em curso uma transformação no papel desempenhado pelas estações de tratamento de águas residuais, no sentido de incluir objetivos como a redução da emissão de gases com efeito de estufa e a promoção da recuperação de ...

Pharmaceutical compounds (PhCs) are concerning the regulators and the general public because very little is known about their long-term and synergistic health-environmental effects. As some of these compounds are resistant ...
