The escalation of heavy metal pollution in natural ecosystems due to industrialization presents a critical environmental concern, endangering the well-being of living organisms. Microbially Induced Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) technology, an emerging innovation, has gained attention from the scientific community for its potential in biocementatio...

The palm oil industry has contributed substantially to environmental pollution due to the large volume of oil extraction byproducts known as palm oil mill efuents (POME). Compared to several industrial efuents, POME is about 100 times more contaminated in terms of biochemical and chemical oxygen demand. Aerobic granular sludge technology is conside...

Various integrated treatment methods have been extensively studied by researchers worldwide to effectively remove ammonium from different types of wastewater. In this study, a bibliometric analysis was conducted using VOSviewer software to provide an overview of the research trends in ammonium wastewater treatment technologies, based on data extrac...

Indonesia and Malaysia are countries with the highest palm oil production globally. Indonesia is leading the list, followed by Malaysia and Thailand. Palm oil production generates countless benefits to the economy, environment, and society of the contributed countries. This industry provides high income and collection of methane gas for biogas gene...

This paper presents an assessment of the start-up performance of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) for the treatment of low-strength (chemical oxygen demand, COD < 200 mg/L) domestic wastewater by the application of a diatomite carrier. The feasibility was evaluated in terms of the start-up period and stability of the aerobic granules as well as COD an...

Microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) has been extensively investigated as a viable biological mechanism for soil fixation and biocementation. However, its dependence on expensive fermentation media for bacterial proliferation is a cause for concern for researchers in this field. This research uses diluted palm oil mill effluent (POME) a...

Bio-cementation is a new sustainable approach that has gained popularity due to its low energy and carbon footprint compared to existing technologies for geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering applications. Bio-cementation is a soil improvement technique that involves binding the pore space of soil particles with calcium carbonate minerals b...

This paper presents a study on household waste management and recycling awareness. Residential areas are the major sources of solid waste as that is where people live. The waste that is usually disposed of from residential areas includes food waste, plastic waste, paper, glass, tin, and others. The increasing trend in waste generated from homes has...

A Global research trend on Sporosarcina pasteurii which is a non-pathogenic Gram-positive bacterium continues to increase among scholars and industrial stakeholders. This is due to its high urease production and calcium carbonate precipitation for various applications. Until now, there is currently no bibliometric study in the literature on the glo...

Municipal and industrial wastewater can be treated through biological, physical or chemical methods. However, biological treatment method is known to be eco-friendly because it remediates toxic and unwanted substances using natural approaches. By using the Scopus database and VOSviewer program, the global research trend in biological treatment of w...

Ammonium-rich wastewater that is discharged without proper treatment could cause severe environmental challenges and pollute the water bodies. A more sustainable biological approach, anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) was introduced to remove the ammonium through oxidation under anaerobic conditions and without external carbon source. Anammox u...

Pre-consumer waste from supermarkets, such as vegetables and fruits dreg, which make up a majority (60%) of all food wasted around the globe are often disposed directly to the landfill. Owing to the disposal issue, waste recovery method is seen as the best waste management strategy. The conversion of pre-consumer solid waste into a value added prod...

Waste management issue has been a major threat and challenge due to the undergoing rapid industrialization and urbanization not only to Malaysia, but also other countries around the world. To tackle that, the first step starts at household level where people are encouraged to try to manage their wastes properly. The aim of this study was to review...

The aim of the present study was to assess the start-up performance of aerobic granular sludge for the treatment of low-strength (COD <200 mg L ⁻¹ ) domestic wastewater by the application of a diatomite carrier. The feasibility was evaluated in terms of the start-up period and stability of the aerobic granules as well as COD and phosphate removal e...

Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) technology is a promising biological method for modern wastewater treatment. However, granulation time have become a major issue for the application of AGS technology especially in low strength wastewater. Recent studies on granulation are focusing towards rapid start-up granulation process. Diatomite, a friable light-...

Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) is a spherical compact sludge that has a lot of advantages such as great settling ability, high biomass level, good shock resistance and ability to withstand high organic loading rate (OLR) and toxic pollutants. However, it still has a major weakness that influences the low global reputation of AGS which is long granul...

The goal of this study was to investigate the species of the abundance microbial in seed sludge and aerobic granular sludge. Experiments were carried out in a sequencing batch reactor with a working volume of 1.6 L. During the start-up period, the reactor was inoculated with 800 mL of sludge from a municipal sewage treatment plant plus 800 mL of ru...

Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) is a wastewater treatment technology that is known for having unique advantages such as great settling ability, high biomass level, good shock resistance, and able to withstand high organic loading rate (OLR) and toxic pollutants. Since studies on AGS development are mostly conducted in laboratory scale, the detailed k...

Studying the possibility of forming aerobic granules on real domestic sewage was a logical step in the scaling-up process and development of Aerobic Granular Sludge (AGS) technology. It was noted that influent wastewater composition and Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) operation cycle time are important factors that can influence the formation of AGS...

The application of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) in treating real domestic wastewater at high temperature is still lacking. In this study, the microstructure and morphology of the granules, as well as bioreactor performance, were investigated during the treatment of real domestic wastewater at high temperature (50 °C). The experiment was executed i...
