Breaking down a common water treatment chemical with light and chemicals
Photolysis of examethylenediaminetetra (methylenephosphonic acid) (HDTMP) using manganese and hydrogen peroxide Authors: Ramona Riedel, Isaac M. Bryant, Robert Jensch, Stephan Liebsch, Marion Martienssen Abstract: This study investigates how a chemical used in water treatment, hexamethylenediaminetetra(methylenephosphonic acid) (HDTMP), can be broken down using ultraviolet (UV) light, manganese (Mn²⁺), and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). The research finds that […]
Best Sludge and Temperature for Making Methane from Waste
Comparison of performance of three different seeding sludge under three different hyper-thermophilic temperatures Authors: Isaac Mbir Bryant; Marko Burkhardt; Marion Martienssen Abstract: This study compared how well three different types of waste (sludge) produce methane gas at three very high temperatures (60°C, 65°C, and 70°C). We also looked at their performance at lower temperatures (37°C […]
