📰 Rich communities of microbes 🦠 in our #groundwater sources, and plenty of oxygen can help #micropollutant breakdown in #aquifers. Adding food sources mostly works opposingly.

📰 Algal blooms and #eutrophication are still caused by excess P even at low concentrations. By doping goethite nanoparticles with zinc, Wetsus and @tudelft scientists tailored the adsorbent surface to make it a figurative phosphorous magnet.

By prioritizing targeted increases in rainfall, forestation programs may not only mitigate global climate change itself but also reduce its concrete negative effects such as droughts.

📰 Suyash Gupta and her colleagues found the key #microbes 🦠 that convert toxic sulfide to #sulfur in biodesulfurization systems. Plus, they studied at what conditions these microbial workhorses prefer to grow and why

📰 Microbes can make drinking water from #aquifers clean again. With the help of oxygen, a little time, and some carbon at times, #micropollutant #biodegradation could clean up potable sources

📰 #nanofiltration #graywater reclamation sounds good, but how do we ensure our safety throughout? @Sam__Rutten investigated ways to detect broken filters. And best of all, it works marvelous at pilot-scale

📰 Rusty particles can help us regain #phosphorus. Now Carlo Belloni and colleagues are unravelling the complex interactions, so we #reuse this great adsorbent.
New research in @Chem_Eng_J by @Wetsus, @RidRst, & @tudelft.

Our new article from @ATMESPHERE1 is online! We produced butyric acid from CO2 in MES cells with >70% selectivity, and proposed a strategy to upgrade it to valuable butanol. Thanks to all coauthors from @LEQUIA_UdG, @GemmLab_UdG and @wetsus.
