The 77 pages that link to Wastewater treatment, each with the reason it gives.

• EutrophicationRelated: Advanced treatment can remove nitrogen and phosphorus before discharge.

• DecompositionRelated: Treatment systems use microbial breakdown to remove organic pollutants.

• BiofilmRelated: Attached microbial communities break down pollutants in several treatment systems.

• Water qualityRelated: Treatment improves effluent quality and limits pollution in receiving waters.

• Plastic pollutionRelated: Treatment can capture some plastic fibers and particles, while others pass into effluent or sludge.

• MicroplasticsRelated: Treatment plants capture many particles but can also transfer them into sewage sludge.

• Anaerobic digestionRelated: Anaerobic digesters stabilize sewage sludge and can recover energy from it.

• Anaerobic respirationRelated: Engineered microbial communities use anaerobic respiration to remove nitrate and other compounds.

• Precipitation reactionRelated: Precipitation can remove dissolved metals and phosphate from wastewater.

• BiodegradationRelated: Treatment plants rely on microbial breakdown of many organic pollutants.

• Waterborne diseaseRelated: Effective treatment reduces pathogens entering rivers, reservoirs, and groundwater.

• FiltrationRelated: Filtration can polish treated wastewater by removing residual suspended particles.

• Nutrient pollutionRelated: Advanced treatment can remove nitrogen and phosphorus before effluent reaches waterways.

• Conservation of massRelated: Mass balances track pollutants as they enter, transform, accumulate, or leave treatment stages.

• NitrificationRelated: Treatment plants use nitrification to convert toxic ammonium into nitrate.

• Froth flotationRelated: Dissolved-air flotation uses bubbles to lift suspended solids and oils for removal.

• Mass balanceRelated: Plant balances track pollutant loads through treatment stages and sludge streams.

• NeutralizationRelated: Neutralization helps adjust wastewater pH before later treatment or release.

• Microbial ecologyRelated: Treatment systems rely on microbial communities to transform and remove pollutants.

• Waste managementRelated: Waste management also handles liquid waste streams, not only discarded solids.

• Chemical oxygen demandRelated: Treatment operators track COD to assess organic-load removal and process performance.

• Civil engineeringRelated: Treatment plants protect public health and receiving waters through engineered processes.

• Biochemical oxygen demandRelated: Treatment plants track BOD to evaluate how much biodegradable pollution remains.

• Combined sewer overflowRelated: Overflow bypasses treatment, discharging sewage before these processes can remove contaminants.

• Membrane filtrationRelated: Membranes retain suspended solids and can support high-quality treated effluent.

• SewerageRelated: Treatment is the common destination for collected sewage.

• Water purificationRelated: It applies purification principles to municipal and industrial effluent.

• BiocharRelated: Biochar’s porous surfaces can adsorb certain dissolved pollutants.

• Industrial pollutionRelated: Treatment can reduce industrial effluent hazards before discharge or reuse.

• SuspensionRelated: Treatment often removes suspended solids by settling, filtration, or flotation.

• Combined sewerRelated: Dry-weather sewage from combined sewers normally flows to treatment facilities.

• DetergentRelated: Treatment determines how much detergent and its breakdown products reach receiving waters.

• Archimedes' screwRelated: Screw pumps can lift sewage and wastewater at treatment-plant inlets.

• BioreactorRelated: Engineered biological reactors use microbial communities to break down pollutants.

• Material balanceRelated: Balances track pollutant loads and water flows through treatment stages.

• Microbial matRelated: Constructed microbial mats can transform nutrients and pollutants in treatment systems.

• UltrafiltrationRelated: Ultrafiltration can separate solids and biomass in treatment and reuse systems.

• LaundryRelated: Treatment plants capture some laundry pollutants and fibers, but not all.

• Anoxygenic photosynthesisRelated: Phototrophic bacteria can recover nutrients and treat some waste streams without aeration.

• Quaternary ammonium compoundRelated: Treatment systems encounter quaternary ammonium compounds discharged from household and industrial uses.

• Water, sanitation and hygieneRelated: Treatment limits downstream exposure to pathogens and pollutants from sanitation systems.

• Magnesium hydroxideRelated: Magnesium hydroxide can neutralize acidic wastewater and precipitate some dissolved metals.

• Sodium borohydrideRelated: Borohydride-based processes can reduce certain dissolved metal ions and pollutants.

• Water chemistryRelated: Chemical reactions and equilibria underpin nutrient removal, disinfection, and solids control.

• Environmental microbiologyRelated: Treatment plants rely on microbial communities to remove organic matter and nutrients.

• SucraloseRelated: Sucralose can pass through sewage systems and is studied as a persistent wastewater marker.

• MicrofiltrationRelated: Microfiltration can separate suspended solids and biomass from treated wastewater.

• Sanitary sewerRelated: It is the usual destination for flow collected by sanitary sewers.

• Washing machineRelated: Treatment systems receive water carrying detergent, soil, and shed fibers from washing.

• Water managementRelated: Treating used water closes part of the cycle of collection and distribution.
