What to Breathe? Steering Microbial Electron Acceptors for Sustainable Onsite Wastewater Treatment - Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology (RSC Publishing)
Onsite wastewater treatment systems which collectively manage ~12 % of global wastewater remain a preferred choice in rural and low-density communities. However, conventional systems such as septic tanks often exhibit limited treatment efficiency for nutrients and emerging contaminants and are flood prone, r REV articles from Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology

Assessing the impact of semiconductor wastewater on biological nutrient removal wastewater treatment
With passage of the CHIPS (Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors) and Science Act of 2022, growth of semiconductor facilities in the U.S. will increase, which will demand the need for treating industrial wastewater rich in xenobiotic compounds. One wastewater management option is disposal to municip

Accretion product formation in the self- and cross-reactions of small β-hydroxy peroxy radicals
The formation of a peroxide accretion product (ROOR) has recently been shown to be a significant channel in self- and cross-reactions of peroxy radicals (RO2) in the gas-phase. Here, we examine the formation of this accretion product in the self- and cross-reactions of RO2 derived from the OH-initiated oxidation of
