A review of metal recovery from E-waste using current microbial technologies
Iden, Maren Skibeli (Master thesis, 2023)With the increasing demand for metals in many industries, there is a growing need for improved methods of metal recovery. For the management of electronic waste (E-waste), numerous studies have been conducted on extracting ... -
Bioremediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soil; Exploring the viability for contaminated grounds and landfills in Norway
Henriksen, Marit (Master thesis, 2023)The Norwegian approach to contaminated soil management typically involves excavation and transportation of soil to a landfill or redistribution within a construction site if the soil is moderately contaminated. Bioremediation, ... -
Effect of low temperature and municipal wastewater organic loading on anaerobic granule reactor performance
Safitri, Anissa Sukma; Kaster, Krista Michelle; Kommedal, Roald (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Biogas production and municipal wastewater COD removal at low temperatures by granulated anaerobic biomass were investigated. Two anaerobic granule reactors were operated continuously for 1025 days by stepwise increase of ... -
Methods for determining the activity of nitrifying bacteria in wastewater samples
Raoeliaritiana, Jany Olivia (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IMN/2016;, Master thesis, 2016-06-15)The present study investigated the feasibility of nitrification in wastewater and the community structure of nitrifying bacteria at two different temperatures, 10 and 25°C. The experiment was conducted in sequencing batch ... -
Pathogenic Bacteria and Antibiotic Resistance Gene Removal Using Up-flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB)
Boateng, Yaw (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2019;, Master thesis, 2019-06-15)The search for effective wastewater management strategies continues and never stops due to the importance of ensuring a safe environment for all organisms. The Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) reactor is cost-effective, ... -
Removal of antibiotic resistant genes in wastewater treatment plants
Bolme, Rebekka Bryne (Masteroppgave/UIS-TN-IKBM/2020;, Master thesis, 2020-06-28)Antibiotic resistance has been regarded as a growing international problem, due to extensive overuse of antibiotics has led to untreatable infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB). Wastewater treatment ... -
Review of the effect of disinfectants on antibiotic resistance in wastewater treatment plants
Jakovljevic, Natalija (Bachelor thesis, 2022)Antibiotic resistance (AR) has been identified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of the biggest threats to human health, due to the increased and unrestricted antibiotic use in humans and animals. In addition, ... -
A review on occurrence and spread of antibiotic resistance in wastewaters and in wastewater treatment plants: Mechanisms and perspectives
Uluseker, Cansu; Kaster, Krista Michelle; Thorsen, Kristian; Basiry, Daniel; Shobana, Sutha; Jain, Monika; Kumar, Gopalakrishnan; Kommedal, Roald; Pala-Ozkok, Ilke (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-10)This paper reviews current knowledge on sources, spread and removal mechanisms of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in microbial communities of wastewaters, treatment plants and downstream recipients. Antibiotic is the ... -
The effect of benzalkonium chloride exposure on the minimum inhibitory concentration, and the spread of resistance to tetracycline in a laboratory-scale sludge reactor
Wigand, Pascal (Bachelor thesis, 2022)With the increased use of disinfectants due to the Covid-19 pandemic an increased understanding of their effect on antimicrobial resistance is of paramount importance. This study looks at the effect low concentrations of ... -
The effect of tetracycline exposure on the minimum inhibitory concentration, spread to antibiotic resistant genes in a laboratory scale activated sludge reactor
Malmberg, Ingrid (Master thesis, 2021)Abstract Antibiotics, which are used to treat bacterial infections have saved countless lives and their development has been a huge step in modern medicine. Unfortunately, the overuse of antibiotics has led to the development ...
