The utilization of metal-based conventional coagulants/flocculants to remove suspended solids from drinking water and wastewater is currently leading to new concerns. Alarming issues related to the prolonged effects on human health and further pollution to aquatic environments from the generated nonbiodegradable sludge are becoming trending topics. The utilization of biocoagulants/bioflocculants does not produce chemical residue in the effluent and creates nonharmful, biodegradable sludge. The conventional coagulation–flocculation processes in drinking water and wastewater treatment, including the health and environmental issues related to the utilization of metal-based coagulants/flocculants during the processes, are discussed in this paper. As a counterpoint, the development of biocoagulants/bioflocculants for drinking water and wastewater treatment is intensively reviewed. The characterization, origin, potential sources, and application of this green technology are critically reviewed. This review paper also provides a thorough discussion on the challenges and opportunities regarding the further utilization and application of biocoagulants/bioflocculants in water and wastewater treatment, including the importance of the selection of raw materials, the simplification of extraction processes, the application to different water and wastewater characteristics, the scaling up of this technology to a real industrial scale, and also the potential for sludge recovery by utilizing biocoagulants/bioflocculants in water/wastewater treatment.

Abstract This study analyses 98 Internet pages of sea ports located in Sweden, Finland and Estonia during years 2017–2019. Aim of the study is to find, how website basic design is completed (colours and languages), how slogans, environmental issues, statistics and hinterland transports are reported. Based on the analysis, it appears as rather common that sea ports follow conservative selection of colours in their websites, where blue and white are clearly most popular. Typically, English and Swedish are as the most common used language, followed by Finnish, Russian and Estonian. In some rare cases, websites are offered in Chinese or German. Larger sea ports do have clear “slogans”, where smaller ones are just having lengthy justification for their existence. Environmental issues are increasing concern among sea ports, and these are mostly mentioned in details within Swedish actors. Providing statistics varies among companies, and in some sea ports these are provided from very long time period, where in others from just previous years or then only from last year (or even at all). It is common for companies to report that they have sustainable hinterland access, railway available.

Classical beam models do not account for partial restraint of anticlastic bending and are therefore inherently inaccurate. This article proposes a modification of the exact Bernoulli–Euler equation which allows for an exact prediction of the beam's deflection without the need of two-dimensional finite element calculations. This approach offers a substantial reduction in the computational effort, especially when coupled with a fast-solving schema like the circle-arc method. Besides the description of the new method and its validation, this article offers an insight into the somewhat disregarded topic of anticlastic bending by a short review of the published theories and a selection of representative numerical results.

<p>The selection of materials for plumbing application has potential implications on the chemical and microbiological quality of the delivered water. This work aims to evaluate the action of materials with different copper content (0, 57, 96 and 100%) on biofilm formation and control by chlorination and mechanical stress. A strain of <em>Stenotrophomonas maltophilia</em> isolated from drinking water was used as model microorganism and biofilms were developed in a rotating cylinder reactor (RCR) using realism-based shear stress conditions. Biofilms were characterized phenotypically and exposed to three control strategies: 10 mg/l of free chlorine for 10 min; an increased shear stress (equivalent to 1.5 m/s of fluid velocity); and the combination of both treatments. Biofilms formed on the copper materials had lower wet mass and produced significantly lower amounts of extracellular proteins than those formed on stainless steel (0% of copper content). Although, the effects of copper materials on biofilm cell density was not significant, these materials had important impact on the efficacy of chemical and/or mechanical treatments. Biofilms formed on 96 or 100% copper materials had lower content of culturable bacteria than that observed on stainless steel after exposure to chlorine or shear stress. The mechanical treatment used had no relevant effects in biofilm control. The combination of chemical and mechanical treatments only caused higher culturability reduction than chlorine in biofilms formed on 57% copper alloy. The number of viable cells present in bulk water after biofilm treatment with chlorine was lower when biofilms were formed on any of the copper surface. The overall results are of potential importance on the selection of materials for drinking water distribution systems, particularly for house and hospital plumbing systems to overcome the effects from chlorine decay. Copper alloys may have a positive public health impact by reducing the number of viable cells in the delivered water after chlorine exposure and improving the disinfection of DW systems. Moreover, the results demonstrate that residual chlorine and mechanical stress, two strategies conventionally used for disinfection of drinking water distribution systems, failed in <em>S. maltophilia</em> biofilm control.</p> <p><strong>Acknowledgements:</strong></p> <p>This work was the result of the projects: UIDB/00511/2020 of the Laboratory for Process Engineering, Environment, Biotechnology and Energy – LEPABE - funded by national funds through the FCT/MCTES (PIDDAC); PTDC/BII-BTI/30219/2017 - POCI-01-0145-FEDER-030219; POCI-01-0145-FEDER-006939, funded by FEDER funds through COMPETE2020 – Programa Operacional Competitividade e Internacionalização (POCI) and by national funds (PIDDAC) through FCT/MCTES; NORTE-01-0145-FEDER-000005 – LEPABE-2-ECO-INNOVATION, supported by Norte Portugal Regional Operational Programme (NORTE 2020), under PORTUGAL 2020 Partnership Agreement, through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).</p>
