This manuscript describes cyclodextrin polymers formed as a thin coating on microcrystalline cellulose. The resulting polymer/cellulose composite shows promising performance for removing organic pollutants from water and can be packed into columns for continuous-flow experiments. The polymer/cellulose composite also shows excellent resistance to aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation.

Many industries discharge significant quantities of cyanide into the environment. Removal of cyanide is a vital task of increasing importance. Currently, the chemical methods of treating cyanide wastewater are used worldwide. The high cost, disposal problems and toxic by-products formation of chemical methods for treating cyanide wastewater has opened the door for more investigation of new methods. This paper evaluates the fate and toxic effects of cyanide on aerobic treatment systems. Both batch and continuous flow experiments were performed. The results indicate that the aerobic biological treatment of cyanide wastewater is an effective technology, which offers many advantages over chemical treatment methods. The microbiological experimental results show that among the microorganisms present in the culture, oscillatoria, philodina, carchesium, pseudomonas and bacillus bacteria were resistant to cyanide and capable of biodegrading it. The results of this study indicate that biodegradation and sorption of cyanide are the most important and least important removal mechanisms, respectively.

Cyanobacterial hepatotoxin microcystins are a health problem found in bodies of water in Thailand. Bacteria capable of biodegrading microcystin [Dha7]MC-LR were isolated from the Bueng Nong Khot reservoir in Khon Kaen, Thailand. The bacterium Novosphingobium isolate KKU25s was shown to degrade [Dha7]MC-LR at a concentration of 25 μg l−1 at 30 °C within 24 h. Two intermediate by-products (linearized peptide and tetrapeptide) and a cluster gene (mlrA, mlrB, mlrC and mlrD) that encodes four putative enzymes involved in [Dha7]MC-LR degradation were detected in KKU25s. KKU25s was also shown to form strong biofilms in microtiter plate assays. These assays were carried out in preparation for use of the bacterium in a bioreactor for [Dha7]MC-LR degradation. In an internal airlift loop bioreactor, the biodegradation of [Dha7]MC-LR by the bacterium was established in batch and continuous flow experiments. In the batch experiment, KKU25s degraded [Dha7]MC-LR at a concentration of 25 μg l−1 at 30 °C within 24 h, whereas in the continuous flow experiment, KKU25s degraded the toxin at the same concentration within 36 h. This study demonstrated that this bacterium could potentially be used to remove microcystins from water.

Sludge pretreatment technologies as an avenue to improve solids handling in a WWTP has gained attention and significant research efforts are being directed towards studying several available techniques. The use of FNA as a chemical pretreatment for the AD has shown the potential to enhance the hydrolysis stage by releasing the internal organic matter of TWAS via its biocidal action. The effect of FNA on improving the biodegradability of TWAS was investigated in this thesis. The effect of the FNA on the TWAS characteristics and the methane production in batch tests was first studied. The optimum FNA dose was determined from the batch tests based on both solubilization and methane yields and then tested in a semi-continuous flow system. As the semi-continuous flow system failed when the optimum FNA dose obtained from the batch study was used, another set of semi-continuous flow experiments were conducted using different FNA doses
