Overview
Our daily activities generate a tremendous amount of waste and wastewater. These waste and wastewater contain a wide variety of organic and inorganic pollutants, nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus), and other biological contaminants. If untreated waste and wastewater are disposed to the environment, these pollutants can adversely impact the ecosystem and public health. Microorganisms are harnessed in engineered bioprocesses involving the biological treatment of waste and wastewater to eliminate these contaminants. These microorganisms utilize various organic substances present in the waste and wastewater as a source of energy and produce new biomass and other by-products. Thus, the treatment of waste and wastewater can be achieved. However, the effective design of bioprocesses and optimizing process parameters are crucial to accelerate the degradation rate of contaminants, enabling faster treatment. While conventional waste/wastewater bioprocesses focus on removing pollutants, the notion of emerging bioprocesses for waste and wastewater treatment extends beyond removing contaminants. There is a growing emphasis on extracting value-added resources during the treatment process.
This course focuses deeply on the domain of environmental bioprocesses for waste and wastewater treatment. Participants will explore a spectrum of both established and emerging bioprocesses, such as the aerobic activated sludge process, anaerobic digestion, composting, microbial electrochemical technologies, direct interspecies electron transfer, and so on. The course will cover the fundamental principles, engineering aspects, and practical applications that underpin these processes. Through a blend of theoretical understanding and hands-on calculation, participants will cultivate a holistic perspective of how bioprocesses can effectively treat waste or wastewater, mitigate environmental risks, and contribute substantively to sustainable and innovative waste/wastewater management practices.
